AI features such as Paper Check run on our servers and cost us per use, so they have a fair-use limit that may change over time. Everything else works offline. PRIVATE BY DESIGN No ads, no account, no subscription. Your words, lists and practice stay on your device, and LingoWonders works offline. The exceptions are Paper Check, reading words from a photo in the cloud, and example sentences: they send the photo or the words to our server and Google's Gemini model, and nothing is stored on our server. Read fetches a web page on your device only when you ask, and nothing from Read is uploaded to our servers. iPhone and iPad, in 12 languages. Questions or ideas?
