In three bands: A1–A2, B1–B2 and C1–C2. • Free at A1–A2; every level with Pro. PICK UP WHERE YOU LEFT OFF • The home screen shows the level and the last word you looked at — one tap to continue. • Every level remembers its own place. Tap a level to open it at that word. • Recent words: go back to any card you've seen, by level — even the ones you marked "I know". • Today's goal, your streak and your reviews in one place. • The Review Log keeps your SRS Review ratings, with a tab for each level. WORD CARDS • Tap a card to see its meaning, example and synonyms before you choose Review or I know. • Bigger, clearer buttons. • After Review, the word sheet shows synonyms, opposites and phrasal verbs. Notes open only when you want one. TESTS AND SPELLING • Tests stay at the level you choose: an A1 test only uses A1–A2 words in its answers. • At A1–A2, the spelling drill shows the first letter and length of the answer, and skips words you can't spell from a hint. SETTINGS AND SYNC • Settings now holds your daily goal, pronunciation voice and speed, and Restore Purchase. • iCloud sync carries your daily goal and recent words, keeps the latest place in each level from any device, uses far less iCloud space, and tells you if iCloud storage is full.

Missed ones come back tomorrow; the ones you know come back later. (Pro) • New exercise — Build the sentence. Questions get harder as you learn them: choose, then type, then build. (Pro) • Learn and Practice tabs, a list of your mistakes after each quiz, and example words that match each topic's level. WRITING PRACTICE • Answers now need the form the sentence uses — "went", "goes", "teeth" — not just the dictionary word.

FASTER AND EASIER • The app opens much faster. • Dictionary search also finds words by their meaning. • Follows your iPhone text size, with better VoiceOver support and clearer contrast. • Cards fit properly on iPhone SE and iPad.

# VocabLog v4.7.0 — Add Your Own Word Add a word you met in a book or a show to your own dictionary, and let it join the spaced-repetition cycle. The feature the paywall promised but the app never had is now real. ## New **Add your own word.** Word and meaning are required; example, level, type, deck and "where from" are optional. A saved word enters the review queue the same day. **My Words screen.** Vocabulary → My Words. Learn / Test / Write, deck filter, search, and edit or delete per word. **Decks.** A deck is free text — "Dune", "Bookclub". The deck list is derived from your words, so there is no separate deck manager to keep in sync. **Fill in from the dictionary.** If the word you type already exists in the built-in 11,756-word database, one tap fills the meaning, example, level and synonyms. It never overwrites what you already wrote. **Back up and restore.** Your words export as plain JSON to the clipboard and come back by pasting. Importing always adds and never overwrites — words you already have are skipped, so importing twice is safe. This is also how you move to a new phone. ## Free vs Pro 5 of your own words on the free plan, unlimited with Pro. The paywall comparison table now lists this row.

This update brings: • The dictionary has grown to 11,756 words, with hundreds of new synonyms and definitions added across B2, C1, C2, and foundational levels. • Dictionary search now scrolls properly through every result — previously long result lists could get cut off; now you can browse hundreds of matches smoothly. • Tap a synonym on any word card and you'll now see a "Learn this word too" button — add it to your study list in one tap. • Fixed a layout issue on iPad affecting the dictionary and level selection screens. Thanks for your feedback — keep learning!
