Your progress now syncs across all your devices via iCloud — pick up on your iPad exactly where you left off on your iPhone. New home-screen widget shows your streak, words due today, and your sapling's current stage at a glance. Daily reminders are smarter: they cite your streak when you're on a run, stay quiet on days you've already practised, and rotate copy so they don't become wallpaper. Each language now has its own plant species that grows through the seasons as your vocabulary builds. Exercises have been tightened to focus on the types that drive the most retention — fewer question formats, more meaningful practice.
