You can save a whole category at once now. Open a category, tap the save button above the list, and all of it goes into your cards. Some categories are split by level too, so you can take just the level you are ready for instead of the whole thing. Laifu asks before it saves the batch, and an Undo bar hangs around for ten seconds afterwards, so you can take the whole lot back out if you tapped too fast. New cards then arrive ten a day rather than all at once, so a deck you just filled still looks like something you can finish. Anything already in rotation still comes back the day it is due, and if ten is not enough you can start the next ten right away. Review cards flip. Tap one and it turns over. You can also turn the text off. EN, RO and JP each have their own switch, next to Play on a phrase or a scene and at the top right of a list. Switch off all three when you want to just listen, and tap the eye to peek at a line when you need it. Favorites is calmer to work through. Newest saves land at the top, every row says where it stands (New, Due today, Tomorrow, In 3 days), and category chips across the top narrow the list. The heart on a row takes it back out: the row stays where it is and goes pale, so nothing jumps while you work down the list, and tapping again puts it back. Inside a category, phrases are ordered by how much you have to put together yourself, so the ones you can say as they are come first. Evening reminders stopped repeating themselves. If you have been away a while you get a phrase instead of another nudge.

Setup now builds you a phrasebook. Lai says hi, then asks two quick things: why you are learning, and how much Japanese you already know. From those two answers you get five real phrases. Tap the ones you know. Anything new is saved for you automatically, so you finish setup with something in your cards instead of nothing. Then you hear a short conversation and get one line to say out loud. Your saved phrases now sit at the top of the home screen instead of behind a tab. Saving is what makes it stick, so it should not be hidden. New phrases: - 14 lines straight out of anime, each with a note on when it actually works. 待って is fine anywhere. 覚悟しろ is perfect before a game and absurd everywhere else. - Warmer ways to talk to someone you care about. - How to answer "Your Japanese is good. Where did you learn?" without making it awkward.

Pronunciation practice, fixed. - It hears you from the first syllable. The app was not recording the start of what you said, which is why short phrases scored so badly. - It scores how you say the phrase, not how we happen to write it. Say みて and 診て counts. - Numbers work. 一, 二, 十, 百 and 千 could never score full marks before, however well you said them. - Audio stops going quiet after you use the mic. If you tried the mic and gave up on it, it is worth another go. Sorry it took this long.

This one is mostly about sound. - Every phrase plays. A caching bug could leave clips silent, and it is fixed. - Volume is even now. We measured and re-processed all 5,237 clips to one consistent level, so you are not reaching for the volume button between phrases. - Three phrases that had no audio at all now have it. - Saving is easier to find. If you have not saved anything yet, the heart tells you what it is for. - Better handling when a purchase or restore does not go through. A lot of this came from people writing in. Thank you, and keep it coming.

Laifu just got better: - Spaced repetition, front and center. Save a phrase and we bring it back right before you'd forget it, until it sticks. - Sign in with Apple or Google. Your streak, saves, and progress now sync across your devices. - A quick guided tour the first time you open the app. - A cleaner phrase screen and smoother touches throughout. Thanks for learning with us.
