Linqo

Linqo is a focused language-practice app for people who want real listening and vocabulary skills, not just streaks. LISTENING PRACTICE Two voices act out a short scene. Hit play, type what you hear. Replay, scrub, and reveal the answer at your pace. The next line preloads while you type so practice stays in flow. VOCABULARY PRACTICE Each word card combines a clean illustration, native pronunciation, and an example sentence. Type the word letter by letter to commit it to memory. Audio is replayable as often as you need. AI-GENERATED CONTENT Tap Generate, type a topic, pick a difficulty. Linqo builds a custom 10-word pack or a full conversational scene tailored to that subject. Topics like "Ordering a matcha latte," "Software engineering terms," or "Apologizing for being late" become learning material in about 30 seconds. THREE INTERFACE LANGUAGES English, Chinese (Simplified), and Malay. Pick your native language at first launch. OFFICIAL LIBRARY A curated set of starter scenes and word packs spans beginner to advanced. Free to access โ start there before generating your own. SUBSCRIPTION Linqo is free to install. AI generation is gated: - Basic ($9.99/month): generous monthly quota for solo learners - Premium ($19.99/month): higher monthly quota for active practice Free users receive 5 trial generations of each kind (vocabulary and scenes) to try the AI flow before deciding to subscribe. Subscriptions auto-renew unless cancelled at least 24 hours before the end of the current period. Manage or cancel in your Apple ID account settings. Payment is charged to your Apple ID.
