Merumi
Read full descriptionHide full description
Merumi turns the time you already spend on your phone into a language you actually speak. ONE LESSON A DAY, IN THREE STEPS Meet new words on flashcards. Prove you know them in a quiz. Then use them in a sentence you write yourself — and an AI tells you what to fix and why, not just whether you were right. Spaced repetition brings every word back just before you would have forgotten it. POINT YOUR CAMERA AT ANYTHING Don't know the word for it? Photograph it. Merumi names it, says it out loud, and files it in your dictionary. LEARN FROM THE VIDEOS YOU ALREADY WATCH Paste a TikTok, Reel or Short — or share it straight into Merumi. You get the transcript with a translation under every line, and you can tap any word to see what it means. Keep the ones worth keeping. PUT A WORD IN FRONT OF THE APPS YOU OPEN TOO OFTEN Entirely optional, and entirely yours to set. Choose the apps. When you open one, a word appears instead, and a short quiz gets you in. Turn it off whenever you like. Merumi never sees which apps you picked — iOS doesn't tell it. WHAT'S INSIDE • Spanish for English speakers, English for Russian speakers • 5,400+ Spanish and 9,800+ English words, graded A1 to C2 • IELTS mode: the complete Academic Word List, in frequency order • Pronunciation on every word • Your own dictionary, synced across your devices • A daily goal you set yourself, and a streak worth keeping MERUMI PREMIUM Merumi is a subscription.

Akix

Akix — тренажёр английских слов на интервальном повторении. Приложение само считает, когда ты вот-вот забудешь слово, и показывает его именно в этот момент — так на запоминание уходит в разы меньше повторов, чем на зубрёжку списками. Интервальное повторение вместо зубрёжки. Расписание строит алгоритм FSRS: твёрдо выученные слова уходят на недели вперёд, шаткие возвращаются завтра. Что учить сегодня, приложение решает за тебя. Не одни карточки. Вспомнить перевод, собрать слово из букв, записать на слух, произнести вслух — упражнения чередуются сами и подстраиваются под то, насколько твёрдо ты знаешь слово. Слово живёт во фразе. Каждое слово показывается вместе с предложением, в котором ты его встретил, — так оно и запоминается, а не абстрактной парой «слово — перевод». Начни с готовой подборки. Коллекции по уровню от A1 до C1: выбираешь свой, отмечаешь, что уже знаешь, остальное сразу уходит в тренировку. Первая сессия — через минуту после установки. Добавляй свои слова. Поставь расширение Akix в браузере и кликай незнакомые слова прямо в субтитрах видео — они с переводом и примером падают в ту же библиотеку и ждут в тренировке на телефоне. Одна библиотека везде. Вход через Apple или Google — телефон, браузер и сайт показывают одни и те же слова и один прогресс. Сейчас Akix бесплатен.

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Akix at none against Merumi's 2. Merumi's advantage is update cadence (every 3 days vs every 2 weeks). On price, ads, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
