You learn a word, and a week later it is gone. Intervalo exists to stop that from happening. The app brings a word back right when you are about to forget it. The method is spaced repetition: the same word returns less and less often until it settles in for good. What does the work is the schedule, not willpower. How it works • A card with a word. Swipe right if you know it, left if you do not yet. The word comes back in an hour, then in 20 hours, three days, a week, two weeks, a month. • 16,500 words from A1 to C1. Filter by CEFR level, by the Oxford 3000 and 5000 lists, and by 29 topics: work, food, travel, health, hobbies. • Every card has pronunciation, transcription and a real example sentence. • Your own dictionaries. Add the words you actually need. • Levels, XP and a daily streak. Skipping a day starts to sting. • Everything works offline, on the metro or on a plane. Start free, no account needed. Pro removes the daily card limit and opens every dictionary filter. Ten minutes a day is enough for your vocabulary to grow on its own. Intervalo Pro subscription • Monthly, renews every month. • Yearly, renews every year. Payment is charged to your Apple ID when you confirm the purchase. The subscription renews automatically unless you cancel at least 24 hours before the end of the current period. Manage it in your Apple ID settings.
