Absolutely love! I used to have other vocab apps on my devices but recently deleted them for this one. I have been using it to learn more french vocabulary throughout my day with the widget feature & it has been the highlight of my days recently. Developer is genuinely invested in listening to suggestions & making this app the best it can be. Cannot recommend this app enough!!
Developer Response

Developer Response
Thank you! I'm so glad you find the app clean and intuitive -that's exactly what I aimed for. Just a heads-up: I'm currently working on adding German and French for the next release with more languages to come. Hope you'll enjoy it!

Great for increasing one’s prowess in the realm of vocabulary. A wonderful selection of daily words, and the quizzes are a great knowledge check.
Japanese joins Plume.
NEW LANGUAGE
Japanese is now part of Plume Pro — 960 hand-picked words with native
pronunciation, alongside French, German, Spanish, Italian and Brazilian
Portuguese. Seven languages in one app.
A REDESIGNED SHARE CARD
Word cards are taller now, with room for the Chinese reading and the word's
origin story. Save one, or send it to someone who would like it.
BILINGUAL EVERYWHERE
The Chinese reading now appears on phrases too, not just single words — and
it follows the same switch in Settings.
A MUCH SMALLER DOWNLOAD
The app is 79 MB instead of 416 MB. Pronunciation for languages other than
English downloads once, when you choose that language.
ALSO IN THIS RELEASE
- British RP pronunciation corrected across 396 entries
- Simplified Chinese throughout the app
- Daily reminders now match your vocabulary level
- Recommend Plume to a friend, from Settings
- Fixes: silent pronunciation on some entries, the onboarding name field,
Practice, and the app icon on Android
