Coach now builds a daily session from the words you saved yourself: pick one word book, or all of them. Coach Pro adds The Forge, a build-the-word game.
You meet a word worth keeping. Two taps and it's yours.
Pocket Words is for people who collect words from what they read: novels, articles, papers, the backs of cereal boxes. Save any word in seconds, get its real definitions (offline WordNet dictionary, no waiting), hear it pronounced, and build a collection that's actually yours.
Then Coach makes them stick.
Coach drills the words YOU saved, on a real spaced-repetition schedule (FSRS), so review arrives right before you'd forget. Preparing for the GRE? Coach also carries a curated bank of Text Completion and Sentence Equivalence questions in the style of the real test, every item blind-reviewed before it ships. Not just flashcards. Actual question types, built from actual vocabulary.

I have been planning for a long time to work on my vocabulary and fortunately found the perfect app for this! ☺️
Incredible app
CautiousPass
Reminds me of GRE prep but overall a solid app to help keep track of words I discover and improve vocabulary
Coach can now study the words you saved yourself, not just the GRE list.
TODAY'S WORD BOOK SESSION
A second daily session sits under the daily GRE card on the Coach home screen, built from your own word books. Pick one book or all of them, and Coach remembers the choice. A book becomes studiable once it holds 20 words Coach can teach, and saving a word now tells you how close you are.
WHICH WORDS COUNT?
A new sheet shows how many of your saved words Coach can teach today, and explains, word by word, why it cannot teach the rest yet.
THE FORGE - A NEW GAME IN COACH PRO
A definition, a row of empty sockets, and a shuffled tray of letters: build the word that fits. Five words a round, with a hint and a reveal if you need them. Three new medals, Clean Strike I to III, come with it.
THE CROSSING IS BIGGER
The drawing is larger on every phone, framed so nothing is cut off, and the board no longer jumps on the third miss.
FIXES
- Fixed: the "purchases restored" message could cover the Subscribe button and swallow taps meant for it.
- Fixed: an unexpected error during a purchase could leave both Subscribe and Restore dead for the rest of the visit, with nothing on screen to say so.
- Fixed: a white flash on cold launch when the phone is in dark mode.
- Fixed: a saved word could travel inside an error report. It no longer can.
- Fixed: the streak earn-back notice said the day had no points left while a live Start button sat below it.
- Fixed: grooved surfaces in Coach were shaded the wrong way in dark mode.
Plus smaller fixes throughout.
