You learn them first through bite-sized challenges. Then, when you hit play on your favorite show, nothing slips past you. HOW IT WORKS 1. We break down real scenes into the words and phrases that matter 2. You see a word or phrase. Know it? Don't? That's simple. 3. Our AI-powered algorithm, built on the Leitner spaced repetition system, schedules your reviews automatically 4. Words you struggle with come back more often.

Start thinking in English. Everything you need to learn English in one app, from your very first words to confident business English. A magazine made for your level, grammar lessons, vocabulary, a full dictionary and audio, all connected so each one feeds the next. You know the scattered routine already. A vocab app on one screen, a grammar book on the shelf, flashcards you never came back to, an article you opened once and left behind. Englify pulls it into a single place, whether you are starting from scratch or sharpening advanced English. ONE APP. SIX TOOLS. ALL WORKING TOGETHER. Your English magazine, made for your level. Real articles on culture, work and everyday life, written for A1 through C1+. As you read, tap any word to see its meaning and grammar right inside the text. Every article, read aloud. Listen at your own pace. Speed it up, slow it down, follow along with the text, then test yourself with comprehension questions until it really clicks. Grammar that actually teaches. Not just a quiz engine. Real lessons that explain the rules first, verb tenses, articles, phrasal verbs and word order, backed by 1,000+ exercises so the rules become second nature. Finally made visual. Vocabulary at your pace. Try each exercise before the translation appears. Peek only if you really need to. Daily flashcards built on spaced repetition quietly turn new words into words you own. Dictionary? Got that too. 7,000+ words with verb forms, real phrases, regional terms and audio. Everything in one tap. Business English that means business. The vocabulary and phrases you actually use in meetings, emails and the office. Most apps leave this out. We built it into the core of Englify, so you can speak up in the room instead of just nodding along. EVERYWHERE YOU ARE. iPhone, iPad, Mac and Apple Watch, all in sync. Start an article on the train, finish it at your desk, review words on your wrist. No account. No login. Just open and learn. WHY ENGLIFY IS DIFFERENT. Made for adults who want to learn English properly, whether you are just starting or already advanced. Built around real English text where you tap to learn, not around isolated drills. Quiet and focused, with nothing cluttering the screen. FREE. AND WE MEAN IT. Most apps lock everything behind a subscription. We do not. Download Englify and use all the grammar lessons, daily vocabulary practice, articles at every level and the dictionary for free. There is also a coin system built into the learning itself. Every exercise you finish earns coins, and coins give you premium content. No credit card, just keep learning. Go Premium when you want no limits: full article access, deeper lessons, bonus exercises, offline downloads and an experience with no ads. Or buy it with a one-time payment and be done with it. Start thinking in English today. Englify offers an auto-renewable subscription. Payment is charged to your Apple Account at confirmation of purchase. Your subscription renews automatically unless auto-renew is turned off at least 24 hours before the end of the current period. Your account is charged for renewal within 24 hours prior to the end of the current period. You can manage or cancel your subscription in your Apple Account settings after purchase.
