Ever heard a word you did not know, looked it up, and then quickly forgot about it? If that is the case, Flashword comes to the rescue!
With Flashword, you can save new words you hear or learn in any way. You can look them up using the system's dictionaries and you can take notes for every word, maybe to jot down a translation, maybe to remember the context you first heard that word in, maybe to highlight interesting use cases. You can also divide the words into categories of your choosing to quickly organize the words you save!
Flashword is the first iOS app I developed!
It started as a personal project to create something I personally needed. Every time I would learn a new word (maybe watching a film or TV series in English, or even some rarely-used Italian word) I would look it up on my phone's dictionary, but then quickly forget it. So I decided to create a place where to store and revisit these words, so that I wouldn't forget them, and that's how the idea for Flashword came to be!
- Save words you learn and append notes to each word
- Divide words into categories to better sort them
- Create and modify categories, assigning a color and a symbol to each of them
The app is entirely built using the SwiftUI framework. All data are stored using SwiftData.
