What's new in 4.1
• Upgraded spaced repetition: words you know well now wait longer before coming back, and words you're starting to forget come back sooner, so reviews take less time. Your progress carries over.
• A redesigned Apple Watch app with a new dark look, fairer quiz choices and progress that stays in sync with your iPhone.
• See your words: tap Learning, Mastered or Needs practice in Stats to browse them, and mark any word as new.
• Practice now shows how many words are due, and reviews keep the answer hidden until you check.
• Lower battery use and other fixes.
