Which CEFR English vocabulary app covers every level from A1 to C2?
Vocably grades every one of its 8,500+ English words by CEFR level, from A1 beginner to C2 proficient, and prints the level on the card. A B1 learner can filter the deck to B1 and skip words that are either trivial or years away, while a C1 candidate can drill C1 words on their own. If you are still working out where you stand, the six bands are labeled Beginner, Elementary, Intermediate, Upper-int., Advanced and Proficient inside the app.
Progress is tracked per level. The List screen shows a progress ring and percentage for each of the six levels next to your Favorite, Known and Unknown counts, so you always know which band still needs work. You can also filter by status (known, still learning, favorite) or shuffle the whole deck when you want variety.
How to learn new English words every day on iPhone
Vocably is built around a short daily loop. Open the app and the next word card is already there: the word, its CEFR tag, IPA phonetics, a speaker button, then numbered definitions written for learners with an example sentence under each. Swipe up for the next word; swipe across to see the same word as a noun, verb or adjective, each form with its own definitions and examples. If you have used English flashcards before, the word cards work the same way, one word per card, minus the shuffling of paper.
Under the card, a Daily counter fills toward the goal you set. Buttons along the bottom let you favorite the word, mark it unknown or known, replay the audio, or open the built-in dictionary with one tap. A daily reminder fires at the time you choose, and auto-pronounce can read each word aloud as you scroll, so you hear every word without tapping the speaker button.
Word of the day widget for your iPhone home screen
Vocably ships a word-of-the-day widget in small and medium sizes. The medium widget shows the word, its CEFR level badge and the first line of its definition; the small one fits the word and a short definition. A new word appears every day without opening the app, so vocabulary keeps showing up between everything else you do on your phone.
The widget is the low-effort half of the habit. Pair it with the daily reminder and the daily word goal: glance at the widget during the day, open the app when the reminder lands, swipe through the goal, and mark what you already knew. Words you mark as known, still learning or favorite feed the counts on the List screen, so the widget and the cards build the same record.
English vocabulary quiz app with listening and fill-in-the-blank
Recognizing a word on a card is not the same as owning it, so Vocably includes five quiz formats. From the quiz screen you pick 10, 15 or 20 questions and one of the following modes:
The Listening Quiz uses the same on-device audio as the cards, so it works without a connection. Mixing formats matters for ESL learners: fill-in-the-blank and context questions test whether you can use a word in a sentence, not just recognize its definition, which is the skill exams and real conversations actually demand.
- Definition Match: pick the correct definition for the word
- Example Fill-in-the-Blank: complete the missing word in a sentence
- Listening Quiz: hear the word, then choose the right one
- Reverse Definition: find the word from its meaning
- Context Match: choose the word that fits the sentence
Offline English vocabulary app with IPA pronunciation
Vocably stores the full dictionary and the pronunciation audio on your iPhone. The download is 107.1 MB, and the app works on a plane, on the subway or anywhere without a signal: cards, audio, quizzes and word search all run locally.
Word cards show IPA phonetics beside the speaker icon, with IPA and audio pronunciation available for thousands of the words. A one-tap dictionary lookup opens a sheet with the word's IPA, definitions and examples, and you can search the entire word list at any time. Honest limits: Vocably is iPhone-only, requires iOS 15.0 or later, is offered in English only, and lists in-app purchases; the App Store description does not say which features they unlock.
