There's a new Read tab that turns your camera into a live scanner. Point it at anything with text and Vocabul highlights what it sees as you move. Freeze the frame, select the words you want, and they turn into a new card right there — no opening a share sheet, no switching apps, so you stay immersed in what you're reading.

You can now turn text you find anywhere into a card without retyping it. Select text in Safari (or any browser), tap Share, then choose Vocabul — it opens straight into the card editor with the term already filled in and your set ready to go. The same works from any other app that lets you select and share text, like Notes or Messages. It even works with iOS's Live Text: point your camera at a sign, menu, or page, select the text it recognizes, tap Share, and send it into Vocabul the same way.
Home and set screens have a new look built on iOS's Liquid Glass design, with translucent, glass-like header buttons and a header that collapses precisely in sync with your scrolling. We also closed the empty gap that used to sit above the home list.
Vocabul now opens instantly to your sets and cards — no more loading spinners when you launch the app. It quietly checks for updates in the background, so what you see stays current.

Set your native language in settings, then turn translations on or off whenever you want. Definitions and cards adapt to the language that works best for you.
Fixed an issue where AI-generated card suggestions could fail to come back for certain words.
Fixed an issue where your account didn't always update right away after a purchase, sometimes requiring a restart before what you paid for showed up.

Getting around the app is faster now: a new bottom tab bar gives you quick access to Home and your profile (with your avatar front and center), and the search bar tucks away as you scroll down so you can focus on your cards. Adding a new card is also simpler — pick a set and start typing, and it saves as you go without a separate creation screen.
When the app flags a card that looks similar to one you already have, you can now act on it right away — keep the existing card, cancel to keep editing, or remove the one you were viewing.
When a card's image is still generating, the loading indicator is now much more noticeable, so it's obvious your image is on its way instead of looking stuck or missing.

This release is all under the hood. We added install attribution tracking so we better understand where new users come from, and started measuring how people interact with duplicate card management. No visible changes — this data helps us make smarter decisions about what to build next.

When you open a card to study, you now see the definition image alongside the word and its meaning. Visual context helps reinforce memory, so you can connect what a word looks like with what it means — right where you need it.
A navigation bug could cause the paywall screen to pop up more than once in a session. That's now fixed — it appears exactly when it should, once.

Submitting a form with invalid data could cause the app to crash unexpectedly. The app now handles bad input gracefully, so you stay in the flow rather than hitting an error screen.

Search now returns matching sets alongside individual cards. When you search for a word or phrase, you'll see not just exact matches but also sets that contain related content and semantically similar cards — so you can find what you're looking for even when you don't remember the exact wording.
Your usage in Settings is now shown as a visual progress bar, making it easier to see at a glance how much of your plan you've used.
Action buttons on the similar cards screen were sitting too close to the screen edges on some devices. They're now properly inset so they're easier to tap.

Use or Discard Duplicate Cards When Vocabul flags a card that looks like one you already have, you can now tap Use to add the existing card to your set — or Discard to move on with your own. No more dead ends when a match is found.

Organize your vocabulary into sets — themed collections you build yourself. Create as many as you need, name them however makes sense to you.
Add cards to your sets, each with a term on one side and a definition on the other. Write your own definitions or let Vocabul generate them for you.
Not sure how to define a term? Vocabul can generate a clear, accurate definition for you with one tap. Edit it, keep it, or start fresh — it's your card.
Vocabul flags when you're adding a card that looks like one you already have, so your sets stay clean and you don't study the same thing twice by accident.
A lot of small things that make the experience feel right — from how cards look to how the app flows. We've been building toward this and we're proud of what's here.
This is 1.0. We're just getting started.
