Study offline. Premium subscribers can now download lessons to the phone and keep learning with no connection — audio lessons and written reviews alike, including transcripts, flashcards and their audio. Your queue, your progress and your streak all keep working on a plane. A queue you control. See what's coming next on Home, reorder it, download individual lessons or the whole queue, and remove downloads you're finished with. Dozens of fixes, most of them found on real devices: sessions no longer drop when you lose signal, progress made offline is saved and syncs when you're back, and the player, reviews and store screens all behave sensibly without a connection.
