Tenth Word
Read full descriptionHide full description
Open a Russian book and some of the words are already English. How many is up to you: the ring turns from 0 to 100%. At 10% every tenth word is English โ hence the name. It still reads like an ordinary book, but every paragraph hands you a new English word in a context where the meaning is obvious without a dictionary. Your brain fills in the rest โ that is how vocabulary sticks. If it does not, tap the word to see what it replaced. Learned a word? Remove it, and the freed percent goes to the next one. โ For native Russian speakers: the books and the interface are in Russian โ Your own books: EPUB, FB2, TXT โ Fully offline: the dictionary lives inside the app โ Word order never reshuffles when you change the percentage โ Proper nouns and ambiguous words are never translated โ Themes, typefaces, size, line spacing โ No ads, no data collection Three days free. Then ten pages a day free, or a one-time purchase โ not a subscription.

Verdict
FusionRead and Tenth Word are too close to call on the numbers: across 6 compared parameters โ price, update cadence, ads and in-app purchases among them โ neither pulls far enough ahead to decide it. What separates them is feature set and interface, not measurable difference.
