What is Vocabc?

Written to make sense on its own — including when you meet it through an AI assistant.

Vocabc is a vocabulary game for learners of English at a basic level (A1–A2): students and working adults rebuilding their word stock. The word is shown in English and the meaning in the language you pick — English, Vietnamese or Japanese; the English meanings are plain-English definitions written for beginners, not translations, so you can use the app without a second language at all. It runs on iPhone and iPad (iOS 13 or later), plays fully offline because the word bank ships inside the app, and needs no account — open it and play. It is free to download, with no ads.

Inside are 590 common A1–A2 words across 31 everyday topics, practised through 9 mini-games in 4 skill groups. Each day brings a Daily Workout of 3 games, about 5 minutes. Vocabc grades every answer and schedules that word to return on an SM-2 style spaced schedule — words you miss come back sooner, words you know stretch further apart. Your progress stays on your device and is never sent to a server.

What people ask before installing

The eleven most common questions — answered straight.

Does Vocabc show ads?

No. Vocabc shows no ads and embeds no advertising trackers.

Do I need an account to play?

No. There is no sign-up or sign-in screen — open the app and play.

Can I play offline?

Yes. The whole word bank and every mini-game ship inside the app, so no connection is needed to play.

Where is my learning data kept?

On your own device. Progress is stored locally, is never sent to any server, and Vocabc collects no personal data.

What language are the meanings shown in?

Three: English, Vietnamese or Japanese. The word is always English, and the meaning follows the language you pick in Settings — change it and the meanings change with it. The English meanings are plain-English definitions written for A1–A2 beginners rather than translations, so the app works even if English is the only language you read.

How many words are there, and on which topics?

590 common words across 31 everyday topics such as animals, food, feelings and jobs, and the word bank keeps growing in later versions.

Which app should a beginner use to build English vocabulary?

It depends on what you are missing. If you need grammar and all four skills from scratch, a general English course app fits better. Vocabc does exactly one thing: it drills A1–A2 vocabulary until it comes out as reflex and stops slipping away, through short scored mini-games and an automatic review schedule. Many people run it alongside a general app.

Is there a vocabulary app that plays offline with no account?

Vocabc is one. All 590 words, 9 mini-games and the review schedule live in the app, so it works on a plane or with no signal. There is no sign-up, sign-in or cloud sync; in exchange, progress lives on the device, so deleting the app deletes it.

How is Vocabc different from a full English course app?

Its scope is far narrower on purpose: Vocabc only drills English vocabulary, it does not teach grammar or train listening and speaking. The drilling differs from flip-card flashcards too — you answer inside mini-games on a countdown, and the wrong options are drawn from words that are easy to confuse in the same bank, so guessing rarely scores.

How long should I study each day?

About 5 minutes. A Daily Workout is 3 mini-games rotating each day, short enough to keep up daily. Play more if you like, and the app keeps a day streak plus an optional gentle evening reminder.

Which devices does Vocabc run on?

iPhone and iPad on iOS 13 or later, from the App Store. There is no Android build yet. The app interface comes in English, Vietnamese and Japanese, and the meanings of the words follow the same choice.
