Most Spanish apps need you to remember to open them.
Better Español puts the words where your eyes already go. A word sits on your Lock Screen and on your Home Screen beside everything else, so you read Spanish at 9am without deciding to. Then when you do sit down to study, every word you have been seeing all day is already waiting for you.
WIDGETS THAT ACTUALLY TEACH
Four widgets, each one can sit on your Lock Screen in any of the three sizes, or as a larger card on your Home Screen. Every one pulls from the deck you are working on, so the word on your screen is the word you are about to review.
BUILT ON REAL SPACED REPETITION
Cards are scheduled by FSRS, which models your own forgetting curve instead of applying the same fixed interval to everybody. Answer Again, Hard, Good or Easy, and you can see exactly when each answer would bring the card back before you choose one.
EVERY SENTENCE, WORD BY WORD
Reveal a card and the example sentence breaks down one word at a time, each with its meaning and its part of speech. You stop reading past the one word you did not know.
FIVE DECKS, A1 THROUGH C1
Spanish 500 for everyday sentences read aloud, Spanish 1K for the basics in context, then Vocabulary A2 through C1. Over 11,000 cards, and every one of them is a real sentence rather than a word stranded on its own.
STUDY THE WAY THAT SUITS
Blind Mode hides the Spanish so you listen first and reveal after. Translation First flips the card the [other way. Daily reminders nudge you to stud]y, choose your reminder time and which days it repeats, or have a Spanish sentence to translate arrive at whatever interval you allow.
WATCH IT ADD UP
The Word Garden shows every word you have learned as a tile, growing through stages as your recall holds, with a heatmap calendar, a learning curve and full statistics behind it.
ALSO INSIDE
Search every card in the app and save words into your own lists. Build custom decks. Download decks with their audio and study with no signal at all. Dark mode throughout. Sign in with Apple or Google.
