New in 1.5: flashcards, a Deck at a Glance widget, Siri capture, a GRE deck — and on iPhone Duo, LexWidget opens like a book.
LexWidget puts the words you want to learn on your Home Screen, Lock Screen and Apple Watch, and grows your vocabulary while you go about your day.
Add your words. A smart rotation brings them back across your widgets until they stick. No feeds, no streaks, no account. Just your words.
THE PRODUCT IS THE WIDGET
• Widgets for the Home Screen, Lock Screen and StandBy, plus Apple Watch complications
• Mark a word known or skip to the next, right from the widget
• Deck at a Glance: a large widget with today’s word in full and the next four underneath
• The rotation favours the words you’ve seen least, so nothing goes stale
NEW IN 1.5
• Flashcards: tap to flip, swipe for the next, with the next card always peeking out. Full screen, timed cards and sneak peek
• Built for iPhone Duo: open it like a book, with your words on one side and the word on the other. Fold it like a laptop to study with the card up top
• Capture with Siri: say “Save a word to LexWidget”. Also in Shortcuts and Spotlight
• GRE Vocabulary: 300 GRE words, alongside the 300-word SAT deck

LexWidget is free for up to 30 words and one deck, with the SAT starter deck (it doesn’t count toward the limit), flip flashcards and iPhone Duo layouts included. One one-time purchase, with no subscription, unlocks unlimited words and decks, auto-fill, hear-it, file and photo import, Fill blanks, Siri capture, the GRE deck, Deck at a Glance, per-deck widgets, every lens, timed cards and sneak peek, export and the Apple Watch app.
This app is great! There is a widget for both your lock screen and Home Screen. Both widgets look great and you can chose how often the words changes. I’m currently enrolled in a medical terminology class that is very intense and this has been extremely useful. It’s nice to see new words every time I look or open my phone, which like for most of us is entirely too much. You can mark words as known on the widget interface or the in the app once you know them and they won’t show up again. The free version works really well and you can add your own words. If you want to import a list of words, however, you have to upgrade to the pro version, which I ended up doing. I was a little nervous paying for an app that only had one review (at the time I got it), but it was definitely worth it. It’s really refreshing to see apps that don’t use subscription models. Can definitely recommend this app!
Great Passive learning tool
Cxg88
Great app for passive learning! I really like how new words can pop up on your screen throughout the day, making it easy to learn and review vocabulary without having to set aside dedicated study time. It’s a simple and convenient way to build your vocabulary naturally.
1.5.1
• iPhone Duo, in every lens: open it like a book and the word you're reading fills its page, in Pop, Specimen, Teletype, Herbarium and Aether. Closed, LexWidget now runs edge to edge around the side bar.
• Flashcards on a folded Duo: big previous, flip and next buttons fill the bottom half, so you can study with the phone on a table.
• Easier-to-read flashcards: definitions on the back of the card are clear in dark mode.
• A quick look at what's new when you update.
