Fícha is a flashcard app for Rioplatense Spanish — the Spanish of Uruguay and Argentina. Not textbook Spanish, not Spain: vos instead of tú, ustedes instead of vosotros, and the words you will hear on a bus in Montevideo or at a kiosk in Buenos Aires. START RIGHT AWAY — NO ACCOUNT NEEDED Open the app and you are studying: a 669-word Rioplatense starter deck with illustrations, verbs, the alphabet and the daily puzzle, all on your iPhone and working offline. Sign in only when you want to add your own cards or keep your progress in sync. NEW: PALABRA DEL DÍA A new five-letter Spanish word every day: six guesses, Ñ on the keyboard, and the word's meaning when you finish. Share your result with friends without spoiling the answer. SPACED REPETITION THAT RESPECTS YOUR TIME Fícha schedules every card with FSRS, a modern spaced-repetition algorithm, so you see each word just before you would forget it. Common words come first, and a Word level setting lets you focus on the words you will hear most. PRODUCE, DON'T JUST RECOGNISE New cards ask you to produce the Spanish from the English, because that is the direction you need in conversation. Switch any card to recognition when that is what you want. Practice mode runs through your whole deck, and fill-in-the-blank cards show the English sentence as a hint. VERBS WITH VOSEO Look up and drill all 27 verb forms with the forms Rioplatense speakers use — vos tenés, vos querés — checked against the RAE. Swipe up on a revealed card to see the tú form next to vos. ALPHABET Hear every letter with its Rioplatense name, and spell any word. LISTEN Hear every word and example sentence spoken, at a speed you choose. Signed in, pick a natural voice from Uruguay (Mateo, Valentina) or Argentina (Elena, Tomás); offline, Fícha uses your iPhone's own Spanish voice. YOUR OWN CARDS With a free account, add your own cards: type either side and Fícha suggests the other. Capture a word you heard on your iPhone or Apple Watch, dictate a card, or photograph a menu or a sign and pick the words you want — text recognition happens on your device. Your cards and reviews sync across iPhone, iPad and Apple Watch, and you stay signed in. WORKS OFFLINE Study on the bus, on a plane, anywhere. Reviews and edits made offline sync when you are back online. APPLE WATCH Review cards on your wrist, even offline. The Watch syncs through your iPhone. BÄRNDÜTSCH (IN-APP PURCHASE) Also learning Swiss German? The Bärndütsch (Bernese Swiss German) pack is an in-app purchase: 604 everyday words, each with its Standard German (Hochdeutsch) form and Standard German audio. Buy or restore it under Settings → Language; your Spanish cards stay exactly as they are. Rioplatense Spanish is included, and if you bought Fícha before version 1.4, Bärndütsch stays unlocked for you. YOUR DATA No ads and no tracking. Fícha can send anonymous usage and crash data to its own server to improve the app — never your card text, recordings or searches — and you can turn that off in Settings → Privacy. Delete your account and everything in it from Settings at any time.
