What's New in LinguaFlow

Passive listening on Android—and a learning path tailored to your native language.

New

• Passive Listening (Android): Texts and learning path stories play on a continuous loop—even when the screen is locked, with controls right on the lock screen.
• Thai with Polish Explanations: The Thai learning path is now also available for native Polish speakers.

Improved

• Learning Path: If a story isn’t yet available in your native language, the Learning Path displays the meanings in English—and lets you know.
• Read-Aloud Limit: If you’ve used up your read-aloud allowance in the Learning Path, you’ll now see a clear explanation instead of a grayed-out button.

Jump right into the first lesson, get learning tips on the go—and full clarity on what the free plan offers.

New

• New onboarding: After launching the app, you’ll go straight to your first lesson—the app will show you step by step how the word-by-word method works.
• Learning tips along the way: When you open a chapter, you’ll get brief tips—which you can turn off in Settings, where you can also repeat the introduction at any time.
• Use for free: In the subscription selection, you can now see exactly what the free plan includes—and the learning path has 5 free chapters. The limits are the same on iOS and Android.
• Cancel your subscription easily: In the subscription selection, your profile, and the settings, you’ll find a direct link to your app store’s subscription management page.
• “What’s New” in Settings: There, you can always see what the latest updates have brought—with a link to the update history. After an update, the app also shows you once what’s new.

Improved

• Read Aloud: Repeat playback now continues reliably—even at a slow speed, in an A-B loop, and after a pause—and the highlighted word stays in sync with the voice.
• iOS: Playback used to start automatically when you received a call or connected your AirPods—now it remains paused if you’ve paused it.
• Japanese: The voice in the learning path now pronounces the particles は/へ correctly as “wa” and “e.”
• Simplified subscription selection: 3 months or 1 year—the annual subscription is preselected.
• Minor corrections in the onboarding process and additional bug fixes.

Free classics, try it out without an account, and an app that says “you” in 31 languages.

New

• Public domain books: Browse free classics in your target language right in the app and read them, decoded sentence by sentence.
• Try it without registering: Decode, have text read aloud, read books, and talk to your AI partner for a week—you don’t need to create an account until you’re ready. Everything you did as a guest will be saved.
• Sign in with Apple on Android (1.8.0): Your Apple account from your iPhone or iPad now works on Android too—including your subscription.

Improved

• All text in the app is now translated into all 31 languages—in a consistent, friendly tone, and we address you informally throughout.
• Minor bug fixes.

Japanese now sounds right.

Improved

• Japanese: The voice now reads every word correctly—in the learning path, when decoding your own texts, and in the book reader. To do this, it receives the syllabic reading (kana) for each word; the kanji, romanization, and meaning remain on screen.
• In the book reader, Japanese displays one card per word instead of an entire paragraph.
• Minor improvements.

Experience decoding right from the start—and every decoding has a name.

New

• Example sentence in the onboarding: A short sentence shows you right from the start how decoding works—word by word, for you to discover on your own.
• Decodings with titles: Each decoding is automatically given a short title in your language and can be renamed.
• Learning Path with English as the Starting Language: The Learning Path is now also available with English as the starting language—for all target languages.

Text-to-speech that follows along with the text word for word.

New

• Press and hold a word: Tapping and holding a word plays only that word—slowly and clearly.

Improved

• Text-to-speech and the text now sync exactly word for word—the spoken word is always highlighted.
• Several improvements to text-to-speech.

The learning path speaks your language.

New

• Learning Path in your native language: If you’re learning German or English, word-for-word definitions, chapter titles, learning objectives, and exercises appear in your own language—for 31 languages.

Improved

• When using the read-aloud feature in the Learning Path, the loading circle kept spinning even though the audio was already playing—fixed.

Major update—more new features than ever before.

New
