Find a word. Understand it. Make it yours. Palabros is an English and Spanish dictionary for people who love reading, writing and discovering words. The app is available in both languages. Look up a meaning when you need it. Linger on its nuances when it sparks your curiosity. Save the words that matter to you and come back to them until they become part of your vocabulary. And if you're learning English or Spanish, save their translations too. Widgets bring your words and translations to your Home Screen. They show them again with spaced repetition, without setting time aside to study. UNDERSTAND A WORD Read the definition alongside a clear, simple explanation. Check synonyms and antonyms, hear how it's pronounced and explore its origin with interactive etymology. BILINGUAL MODE Explore translations from English to Spanish and from Spanish to English. Translations are grouped by meaning, next to the definitions that clarify their nuances. Save a word's translations and come back to them whenever you like. Find them in your widgets and review them to learn word by word. KEEP READING Some words make you stop in the middle of a page. With Reading Mode, say a word out loud and see its meaning without typing it or putting your book down. If you prefer, listen to the explanation. When you finish, choose which of the words you looked up you want to save. COME BACK TO YOUR WORDS A word you found in a novel. Another you'd like to use when you write. A term you want to remember for your studies. Keep them in your library, organize them with tags, filter your collection and import your own lists. REVIEW AT YOUR OWN PACE Review your words in four ways: pick the word, pick the definition and, with Palabros Pro, type the word or explain it in your own words. You can also review translations: choose every correct equivalent among several options or, with Palabros Pro, type the translation you remember. If you review your words now and then, Palabros identifies the ones you find hardest to remember. With smart priority turned on, widgets show them more often, mixed in with the rest. Palabros Pro review widgets hide definitions or translations. Take a moment to recall them before you reveal them. Statistics show your progress. DISCOVER SOMETHING EVERY DAY Word of the Day is an invitation to learn a new meaning. Some words come illustrated. See it in the app and in its widgets, including the extra-large portrait widget. Siri and Shortcuts actions let you look up, save and review words, or build your own shortcuts. A DICTIONARY THAT GOES WITH YOU The English and Spanish dictionaries are built into the app, so you can look up definitions offline. On compatible devices, Apple Intelligence generates explanations on device. Translations by meaning need a connection; other features may require downloaded resources. Palabros has no ads. Read, look up and review in peace. PALABROS PRO Palabros is free to download. Palabros Pro expands your library and your tools: unlimited saved words, unlimited Reading Mode sessions, all four word review modes, typed translation review, word and translation review widgets, tags and filters, list import, statistics, widget personalization, exclusive icons and future Palabros Pro improvements. Choose a monthly subscription, try the annual plan with seven days free if you're eligible, or get lifetime access. For the words you want to make yours.

Apprent
Read full descriptionHide full description
Apprent is the pocket apprenticeship journal — a structured place to record the master craftsman next to you (electrician, plumber, woodworker, mason, welder, mechanic, HVAC tech, machinist, carpenter) explaining the why behind the work. It is the field notebook your boss wishes the apprentices kept five years ago. 75% of US manufacturers report a critical skills gap. The journeyman class that learned the trade in the 1970s is retiring. The apprentice next to them has 20 minutes between jobs to capture a technique that took 40 years to learn. Pencil and paper falls behind. Voice memos pile up unsearchable. There is no calm app structured around the apprenticeship. Apprent is that journal. Record the master speaking; Apple's on-device SFSpeechRecognizer transcribes; tag the entry by trade, technique category, and tool; review later by tag. No account. No cloud. No social feed. What ships in v1: — Mentor register: every journeyman you've worked under. Trade, years of experience, shop / employer, signature techniques. — Recording: one-tap voice capture with live on-device transcription (SFSpeechRecognizer, requiresOnDeviceRecognition=true). No upload, no third-party transcription. — Technique card: each recording becomes a card with title, mentor, trade, tool, technique category (joinery, soldering, pulling wire, layout, fitting, finishing, troubleshooting), and the full transcript. — Tool log: every tool you encountered with brand, model, year, and the technique cards that reference it. — Trade reference: bundled glossary of ~100 trade terms per major trade (electrical, plumbing, framing, HVAC, machining, welding) — common terms apprentices ask about in the first year. — Code corner: bundled summary of the most-cited code references — NEC chapters apprentice electricians actually look up; UPC fixture units; IRC stud spacing — pointers, not the codes themselves (always check the latest published edition). — Search: full-text across transcripts. Find every time a mentor mentioned 'wire pull tension' or 'soldering flux.' — No 'Pro,' no in-app purchases. Yours. Apprent is for the first-year apprentice, the journeyman who wants to leave a record before they retire, and the union local that wants its apprentices to learn from the most-experienced JATC instructors. Apprent is record-keeping software. The code references are general pointers; always consult the latest published code edition for the work you're doing.

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Apprent at none against Palabros's 6. Apprent also leads on iOS requirement (17.0 vs 26.0). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
