Start thinking in Spanish. Everything you need to learn Spanish in one app, from your very first words to confident business Spanish. 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. Spanify pulls it into a single place, whether you are starting from scratch or sharpening advanced Spanish. ONE APP. SIX TOOLS. ALL WORKING TOGETHER. Your Spanish 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, ser and estar, gender and the subjunctive, 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 Spanish 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 Spanify, 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 SPANIFY IS DIFFERENT. Made for adults who want to learn Spanish properly, whether you are just starting or already advanced. Built around real Spanish 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 Spanify 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.

Most Spanish apps need you to remember to open them. Better Español puts the words where your eyes already go. A word sits on your Lock Screen and on your Home Screen beside everything else, so you read Spanish at 9am without deciding to. Then when you do sit down to study, every word you have been seeing all day is already waiting for you. WIDGETS THAT ACTUALLY TEACH Four widgets, each one can sit on your Lock Screen in any of the three sizes, or as a larger card on your Home Screen. Every one pulls from the deck you are working on, so the word on your screen is the word you are about to review. BUILT ON REAL SPACED REPETITION Cards are scheduled by FSRS, which models your own forgetting curve instead of applying the same fixed interval to everybody. Answer Again, Hard, Good or Easy, and you can see exactly when each answer would bring the card back before you choose one. EVERY SENTENCE, WORD BY WORD Reveal a card and the example sentence breaks down one word at a time, each with its meaning and its part of speech. You stop reading past the one word you did not know. FIVE DECKS, A1 THROUGH C1 Spanish 500 for everyday sentences read aloud, Spanish 1K for the basics in context, then Vocabulary A2 through C1. Over 11,000 cards, and every one of them is a real sentence rather than a word stranded on its own. STUDY THE WAY THAT SUITS Blind Mode hides the Spanish so you listen first and reveal after. Translation First flips the card the [other way. Daily reminders nudge you to stud]y, choose your reminder time and which days it repeats, or have a Spanish sentence to translate arrive at whatever interval you allow. WATCH IT ADD UP The Word Garden shows every word you have learned as a tile, growing through stages as your recall holds, with a heatmap calendar, a learning curve and full statistics behind it. ALSO INSIDE Search every card in the app and save words into your own lists. Build custom decks. Download decks with their audio and study with no signal at all. Dark mode throughout.

Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: Better Español at none against Spanify's shown. Better Español also leads on iOS requirement (16.4 vs 18.0). Spanify's advantage is device support (3 vs 1). On price and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
