NEW: German Tutor, a model I fine-tuned myself • Gemma 4 E4B, trained on a German tutoring dataset I built, running entirely on device • It writes every story in the app and backs the grammar coaching, card generation, and corrections • The model and its training data are public on Hugging Face https://huggingface.co/datasets/kessenma/gemma4-german-tutor-data / https://huggingface.co/kessenma/gemma4-e4b-german-tutor-4bit NEW: Story Mode, shaped like a German reading exam • Read a short story at your level, then answer comprehension questions on it, the same format as the Lesen sections of Goethe and ÖSD-style exams • Stories can be illustrated on device by two new image models • Set separate male and female voices so dialogue sounds like two people when read aloud NEW: A coach that watches where you struggle • Tracks your weak spots across flashcards, games, and conversations • Feeds them back as targeted drills wherever you are in the app • A streak calendar on the home screen shows how much you practiced each day NEW: Two games • Vocab Matching, played with your own decks • Der/Die/Das, article practice drawn from the on-device dictionary NEW: Bulk jobs • Queue up the heavy work (illustrated decks, story images) and let it run in one pass instead of waiting on each job ALSO IN THIS UPDATE • Smarter article checking: every generated card is checked against the bundled Wiktionary dictionary and wrong articles are fixed before you see them. Compound nouns inherit the gender of their last part, so Wohnzimmertisch is der because Tisch is. Reliable endings like -ung, -keit and -tion cover most of the rest, and nouns that genuinely take two articles are no longer flagged as mistakes • Reminders on your terms: choose the cadence or turn them off, all from inside the app • Rebuilt navigation now that there is a lot more to get to • Haptics on flashcard and multiple-choice answers, with settings to tune them

NEW: AI Voice Chat: practice speaking German out loud and get corrected as you go. • Role-play 20+ everyday scenarios, or focus on specific grammar (Perfekt, Konjunktiv II, the cases, and more) • Hints, tap-a-word translations, and replies read aloud • "Say it in German" — work out what you want to say from English, then get coached through saying it • Each chat ends with a coaching report and can become a flashcard deck NEW: Save phrases you hear in the wild • Double-tap or highlight any word or phrase in a chat to get its meaning: or save it • Keep a library of phrases you want to practice; the AI weaves the active ones into matching chats • Turn saved phrases into flashcard decks NEW: Build cards and conversations from your own material — scan PDFs, scan photos, or paste a webpage. NEW: The app takes on the look of whichever AI model you pick, conversations included. ALSO IN THIS UPDATE • A dedicated Conversation settings tab • Step-by-step instructions (with screenshots) for downloading Apple's higher-quality voices • Smarter model loading, so the right model is ready before you start a chat • The first Akkusativ and Dativ study cards in the Goethe decks
