Question 1

How is this different from a dictionary app?

Accepted Answer

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.

Question 2

What makes Neologics the best vocabulary builder app?

Accepted Answer

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.

Question 3

Is there a free version?

Accepted Answer

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.

Question 4

What's the difference between buying on the web and in the app?

Accepted Answer

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.

Question 5

How do I cancel or manage my subscription?

Accepted Answer

If you subscribed on the web: open the app and go to Settings → Manage Subscription — you'll sign in once so only you can touch your billing. If you subscribed through the App Store: iOS Settings → your name → Subscriptions. Lifetime has nothing to cancel — it's yours.

Question 6

Which devices does it work on?

Accepted Answer

iPhone and iPad, running iOS 18 or later — including home-screen and lock-screen widgets so the words find you between sessions.

Question 7

What if I miss a day?

Accepted Answer

Nothing breaks. The app isn't built around streaks or guilt. The next time you open it, the practice picks up where you left off. A vocabulary built over years doesn't notice a missed Tuesday.

Question 8

Does it work offline?

Accepted Answer

Yes. The full library, audio pronunciations, and practice sessions all work offline. You only need the internet if you're starting fresh.

Question 9

Can I add my own words?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Anything you encounter — in a book, a podcast, a conversation — can be added to your library and worked into the same daily practice. You can include your own definition, example sentence, and a personal note. It's your collection, kept in your voice.

Question 10

Why a subscription?

Accepted Answer

Because the library keeps growing, the audio is hand-curated, and the practice algorithms get better as we learn more about how memory works. A subscription is what lets us keep deepening the work rather than chasing the next feature. (There's also a Lifetime option if you'd rather pay once.)
