Roadmap

Adjust the size and formatting of comments to make them easier to read.

On our website, we are already providing free word lists with base vocabulary for many language combinations. These shall be accessible directly in Wokabulary, too.

Words can be selected in other apps and be added to Wokabulary using the share function.

Attach audio files or record audio to use for speech output.

An additional quiz mode in which the correct answer needs to be picked from multiple suggested words.

In case of a wrong answer in the typing quiz, the wrong letters are highlighted.

Organize words in custom lists for quick access from the sidebar.

Add words and search your vocabulary with Siri and the new Apple Intelligence.

Option to perform full text search instead of word search.

Directly delete words from within a quiz session.

If you have installed multiple HD voices for a language, you can select your favorite in the language settings.

Sort your tags by creation date, name, or frequency

There is now a setting to use a constant length generic blur for the hidden solution in the flash card quiz, so the shape or length don’t reveal the answer.

Filter for words that don’t have selected tags.

Repeat single Words and see your progress directly on your lock screen.

As an alternative to the flexible subscription, you can now also purchase Wokabulary as a one-time lifetime purchase.

Have words translated directly in Wokabulary or look them up in the dictionary with just one click.

Text in brackets is ignored in the typing quiz, in the word sorting, and in the read-out function.

Extended VoiceOver support to improve usability and user experience.

Do a mini quiz directly on your Home Screen or on your Desktop.

Words in languages with script richt in detail like Japanese or Chinese are displayed larger.

Word comments can be formatted with Markdown.

See your current progress and word level distribution at once glance.

In the settings you can make the typing quiz case-insensitive.

Learn daily to keep your streak and unlock motivating achievements.

Add images to your words and give your vocabulary custom names to also learn technical terms with Wokabulary.

See on one glance which words have been added today, yesterday, or over the last weeks.

Easily see all synonyms or duplicates in your vocabulary.

Walk through all words of a quiz without affecting their learning levels.

While Windows or Android apps would make Wokabulary accessible to even more users, we are not planning to implement versions for non-Apple platforms.
We are a small team of iOS and Mac developers and focus on these platforms.

We regularly receive feature requests to add fields for special properties for specific languages to store things like gender for German, verb conjugation for French, Katakana for Japanese, or romanization for Chinese.
In general, we don’t want to add features for specific languages. Wokabulary can be used to learn any language, and we rather focus on features that benefit all our users.
We recommend using the comment field for any additional information like grammar, pronunciation, or romanization. The Markdown support even allows you to format the comments to your needs.

It can happen that you tapped or typed to quickly and want to go back in the quiz. However, the word will be asked again soon anyway, so an accidental miss-answer does not much damage. On the other hand, an option to go back would make the interface more overloaded and complicated.

The Watch app is meant as a small companion app and so you can do a quick mini quiz. As Watch apps are intended for quick interactions, we want to keep the interface as simple as possible.

The idea is that when you have the same word in multiple languages stored in Wokabulary, the quiz could ask you for all languages. Yet, we think automatically connecting these words only works in early stage learning. As you progress, the vocabularies in different languages will differ significantly, breaking the feature.
