WordGate turns your phone into a daily language lesson. Until you learn today's word, your phone — or just the apps you choose — stays locked. Solve the word and you earn your screen time back. WHY IT WORKS • Real accountability — your phone is the reward, so you never skip a day. • Learn by doing — see the word, hear it, read it in context, and type it to lock it in. • Smart review — spaced repetition brings words back right before you forget. • You set the rules — pick your daily goal (1, 3, 5, or 10 words), your reset time, and which apps to lock. • Earn screen time — every word you master adds time. Hit your goal and the day is yours. 12 LANGUAGES Spanish, French, German, Italian, Portuguese, Russian, Turkish, Arabic, Hindi, Mandarin, Japanese, and Korean. Whether you're commuting, waiting, or just reaching for your phone out of habit, WordGate makes every unlock a small step toward fluency. Learn a word to unlock your world. WordGate Pro adds unlimited bypasses and more. Subscriptions auto-renew until canceled; manage anytime in Settings.

Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: Flashcard Blocker at none against WordGate's shown. Flashcard Blocker also leads on update cadence (weekly vs every 6 weeks). On price, in-app purchases, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
