Language First
IELTS practice & AI bands
Free · In‑App Purchases · Designed for iPad. Not verified for macOS.
Build real English exam skills with focused practice and clear, honest feedback. Language First gives you everything you need to prepare for the exam in one calm, well-made app, and it tells you where you stand with indicative band scores to guide your study.
Practice all four skills
Work through tests across Listening, Reading, Writing, and Speaking. Listen to real audio, read full passages, prepare and type your essays, and speak your answers out loud. Every skill has its own dedicated tests so you can put your time where you need it most.
Indicative AI band scores on Writing and Speaking
Submit a Writing task and get an indicative band estimate with feedback in minutes. Record a Speaking answer and get feedback on fluency, pronunciation, vocabulary and grammar. These scores are estimated by AI to guide your practice. They are indicative only, not official results, and they help you see your progress and fix the gaps before exam day.
Full mock tests
Sit complete mock tests across all four skills under timed, exam-style conditions. Get used to the pace and pressure of the real thing so nothing surprises you on the day.
Vocabulary and pronunciation games
Learn faster with quick, playful games that build the vocabulary and pronunciation the exam rewards. A daily challenge and a streak keep you coming back, and a one-tap "Surprise me" drops you straight into a random game when you have five minutes spare.
Track your progress
See your best overall band, your latest score per skill, your streak, and your XP at a glance. Watch your numbers climb as you practise and always know what to work on next.
Explore the app, upgrade when you are ready
Browse the learning experience before upgrading. Premium unlocks: all practice tests in every skill, all full mock tests, AI band scores on every Writing and Speaking test, and every vocabulary and pronunciation game.

Ratings & Reviews
- This app hasn’t received enough ratings or reviews to display an overview.
A real exam clock, and a much clearer way to choose what to practise.
EXAM TIMER
Reading now runs on the real 60 minutes, and Writing on the real 20 then 40. When time runs out your answers are submitted, never deleted. You can switch the timer off in Settings.
CHOOSE A TEST BY WHAT IT IS ABOUT
Every practice test now shows its topics, so you can pick something that interests you instead of guessing from a number.
FASTER
Tests open straight away instead of making you wait.
CLEARER SETTINGS
The practice settings have been rewritten in plain English, and translated properly into Arabic and Chinese.
Also fixed: several marking errors on multiple choice and matching questions, and a bug on the account deletion screen.
