iVocabulary is your vocabulary trainer to take away. Learn your vocabulary in a train, café, bar, at home on your sofa or wherever you like.

Since with iVocabulary you can also add images to vocabulary, it supports learning technical terms for school or university.

Download vocabulary books from more than 2.500 vocabulary files created by the community of ProVoc (predecessor of iVocabulary for Mac) users.

With iVocabulary on your Mac you can collect your vocabulary on your desktop Mac and upload them to iVocabulary on your iPhone (or iPad) to take them with you. (Note: for Windows there is a Java solution available here: Java Vocabulary Editor)

Now go on and see how you are getting started with iVocabulary or have a look at the manual.

Getting Started…

You started the app … what next?

iVocabulary doesn’t contain any vocabulary when you launch the app the first time.

To get started, you need to add vocabulary books to iVocabulary. You do so by tapping the + icon.

There are three options for vocabulary sources: download out of more than 2.500 books, create your own vocabulary book or import existing books.

Structured Vocabulary

In iVocabulary you can organize your vocabulary in chapters and lessons.

A chapter is a collection of lessons and can be identified by the folder icon.

A lesson is like a page in a vocabulary book and contains the words. A lesson can contain lots of words. The amount of words is also shown for each lesson and chapter.

Lessons can be selected to be learned by tapping the checkbox on the right hand side. Tapping the half-checked checkbox on a chapter de-/activates all lessons in that chapter.

Different Training Modes

Train your vocabulary using different training modes. iVocabulary provides three types of training modes:

  • Learn cards
  • Multiple choice
  • Written test

Create your own training modes that fit on your training system. iVocabulary provides many parameters you can use to fine tune the training modes to your needs and wishes.

Get feedback on your training and watch your learning progress

iVocabulary provides direct feedback after each training with a pie chart.

You can watch your learning progress on a bar chart.
