Bolo is in 3D now. She is a bird you can see all the way round, not a drawing. Her beak moves with her own voice while she talks, she wanders about the screen while you are thinking, and you can tap her to see what she does. She has learned seven dances. Chat has been rebuilt around her. She is bigger, she never sits on top of the card you are waiting on, and she greets you when you open it. You can also set how fast Bolo and the coach speak, which helps when a word goes past too quickly. Fixes: holding the microphone in chat is steadier, and a rare crash when signing in with Google is gone.

Fixes a rare crash that could happen if you tapped twice while a screen was opening. The microphone is also more reliable on older devices: if recording does not start the first time, Bolo now tries again by herself.

New ways to speak • Last Call: the ferry is about to leave. Say the right line before the gate closes. • Answer Back: the uncle speaks to you, and you reply out loud. He now talks in his own voice. Stories • Tap your answer and the story moves straight on, with your last choice shown above the next question. • A scene your language can't tell yet is skipped, so the story keeps going instead of stopping. Easier to use • Forgot your password? You can now reset it right from the sign-in screen. • Leaving a stop takes you back to your map. • Only the language you're learning slows down when you choose a slower speed. • Audio no longer keeps playing after you leave a screen. • Bigger, clearer navigation and journey boards on iPad. • A new floating market film on the home screen.
