FAQ
Questions, answered.
How is this different from a dictionary app?
A dictionary tells you what a word means when you ask. Neologics is the other way around — it brings the right words to you, daily, before you needed to ask. The point isn't lookup; it's gradual fluency. Each word arrives with its etymology, its native habitat, the shape of the sentence it likes to live in.
What makes Neologics the best vocabulary builder app?
Neologics treats words as stories, not flashcards. Every word arrives with trusted audio pronunciation, an etymology map tracing it back thousands of years, a mnemonic, and example sentences you'd actually say — then six word games and spaced repetition make it stick. It's free to try, works offline, and keeps words in view with home- and lock-screen widgets. Available for iPhone and iPad on the App Store.
Is there a free version?
Yes. Neologics is free to download and free to learn from every day. Pro removes the limits — the full word library, all games and practice modes, every theme, and unlimited deep dives. The yearly plan starts with a free trial, and there's a Lifetime option if you'd rather pay once.
What's the difference between buying on the web and in the app?
Nothing in what you get — both unlock the same Neologics Pro. Buying in the app goes through the App Store; buying here on the web is a regular card checkout, which is where we can offer things like the discounted Lifetime deal. If you start a web checkout from inside the app, you're brought straight back and Pro is live immediately. If anything ever doesn't line up, Support will sort it out.
