Good to know
- The whole dictionary is downloaded with the app, so it works on a plane, underground or anywhere without signal.
- Everything is free. The games show ads; one small purchase removes them for good.
- There's no account and no sign-up. Your words and progress stay on your phone.
- Pronunciation is shown two ways: easy to read (HAP-ee) or in IPA (/ˈhæpi/).
