2.1 puts words back where they're actually used. · Scene English — 285 real-life scenes: airports, cafés, hospitals, job interviews. Each scene comes with a visual map, grouped dialogues, and short readings, and every word in it opens to its root breakdown. You learn when a word gets used, not just what it means. · Examples grouped by sense — when a word carries several meanings, its examples are now split into groups, each labeled with the sense it illustrates. No more guessing which sentence goes with which meaning. · Fuller Chinese definitions — senses split out for 3,934 polysemous words (9,141 senses in all), each tagged with its part of speech. · Sharper breakdowns — a letter absorbed by the preceding part now shows as a superscript (expect = ex- + (s)pect); fragments that belong to no morpheme explain why they are there instead of being forced into one; parts of speech are unified as n. / adj. · Make it yours — a new Paper theme with 11 accent colors, plus a full custom palette editor. · Nothing lost on a new phone — word-family practice and quiz records now sync via iCloud. · Smoother to use — jump back to the top of any long list; long-press the app icon for Today / Review / Decode / Daily Challenge; lookup keeps a browsing history; shake anywhere to send the developer a note. · English definitions are now optional — word details no longer show them by default, keeping the page cleaner. Turn them back on anytime under Me > Show English definitions.

2.0 is the biggest update Etyma has had — it grows from "understanding roots" into "practising until they stick". · A whole new practice system — four new question types (spelling, dictation, sentence gap-fill, and Chinese-to-English) join the existing meaning quiz, root assembly and flip-card self-check, so one word family can be drilled seven different ways. You now pick the type yourself instead of letting the app decide · Mastery and the family map — every word carries its own mastery level that brightens as you practise. Open a family and the whole set lights up cell by cell, so what's solid and what's shaky is obvious at a glance · Drill just the weak ones — pull out the words you're least sure of in a family and focus on those, instead of spending time on words you already know · Mistakes come with an explanation — get a spelling or choice wrong and you'll see a morpheme-level comparison showing exactly which part slipped, not just a red cross · Quizzes count — practice sessions now feed your streak and study heatmap, so the work you put in shows up · A fuller daily challenge — set your own question count (5–50), and missed questions land in your mistake bank for review from the summary screen · Long-press to jump — long-press any root, affix or word row and the shortcut menu opens grouped into Learn / Practise / Look up, so you don't have to open a detail page to find the entry point. Now covered consistently across every list in the app · Lists show what you want — in word lists that same menu ends with toggles for phonetics, the meaning bridge, morpheme glosses, examples and collocations, and each list remembers its own setting. Compact when you're skimming, detailed when you're digging in · A much fuller library — CET-4 collocations now reach 100% coverage (1,587 words), every entry has a real example sentence with context, and broken morpheme example links are down to zero · Plenty of polish — tap a word for a half-sheet card, US/UK markers on phonetics, nicer share posters, and hundreds of smaller refinements Thanks for using Etyma!

This update brings a brand-new Root & Affix Cheat Sheet and smoother everyday use: · New Root & Affix Cheat Sheet — browse every root and affix on one screen; sort by frequency or A–Z, filter by type, and search across both roots and affixes. Open any family for a dense cheat table, and export a beautiful poster in one tap · Smarter word breakdown — inflected and derived forms (past tense / plurals / adverbs, etc.) now break down to their roots too · Flexible daily reminders — set multiple reminder times to fit your routine · More to share — turn any word or affix (not just families) into a poster · A growing, polished library — many more hand-checked words with clearer, more natural meanings · Refinements — smoother onboarding and search (friendlier pinyin), plus nicer switch animations and tap feel Thanks for using Etyma!

This update takes word-family learning and sharing to the next level: · New word-family mind map — a root's family unfolds as a radial map; switch between radial and list views, with a center-root overview · Share a word-family poster in one tap — turn a root's family into a beautiful poster, with a download QR code · Many more meaning bridges — thousands of words now show the one-line path from literal parts to modern meaning · Growing library — many more words and morpheme breakdowns · Refreshed rank-card sharing — Wrapped-style skins (multiple palettes) and a rank collection carousel · Smoother search — keeps your query across tabs, friendlier pinyin input · Fixes & polish — fixed an occasional "root not found" on tap and rare missing family words Thanks for using Etyma!

This update makes the library richer and learning smoother: · Growing library — morpheme breakdowns added for more words, plus new "semantic bridges" that explain the path from parts to a word's full meaning more clearly · Finer breakdowns — more complete handling of affix variants, each labeled with its original root/affix form, and clearer distinction between look-alike morphemes · New "View all related words" — see every word under a given root or affix from its detail page · "Previous · Next" paging on detail pages · Phonetics (IPA) now shown in word lists, following your UK / US accent setting · New "High-frequency first" sorting in the root library (switchable in Settings) so common roots are easier to find · Smoother purchase restoration, plus various UI polish Thanks for using Etyma!

This update improves content quality and polishes the experience: · More accurate word breakdowns — corrected root assignments and added morpheme decompositions for more words · Smoother search — typing English on a Pinyin keyboard now shows results instantly, no need to tap search · New "Previous · Next" paging on root and affix detail pages · Refined collection names, list ordering, and other UI details · Fixed Restore Purchase messaging Thanks for using Etyma!
