Vocabc trains English vocabulary reflexes through mini-games. The word is in English and the meaning follows the language you pick — English, Vietnamese or Japanese. 3 games × 5 minutes a day; words you keep missing come back more often until they stick.
Free to download · iPhone & iPad (iOS 13+) · plays offline, no account · meanings in English, Vietnamese or JapaneseWritten 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.

Every game makes you handle the meaning of a word, not just the look of it. More games are coming in later versions.
An English word + 4 meanings in your language. Pick the right one before time runs out; answer in a row to build a combo.
Do the word and the meaning match? Call it in 5 seconds; correct answers in a row build a combo.
A memory board of 6 word↔meaning pairs — flip cards and pair each word with its meaning.
Memorise 3–4 words that flash by for a few seconds, then find them again among distractors.
4 words, 3 of them share a topic. Spot the odd one; each answer reveals the meanings to learn from.
Words appear one by one — drop each into the right topic out of 2, fast.
A meaning + shuffled letters — rearrange them into the right English word.
About 40% of the letters are hidden. Fill them in from the letters given — watch out for the decoys.
A meaning — pick the right English word. This trains recall, which is harder than recognition.
No heroic discipline needed — the Vocabc engine takes care of reviewing at the right time.
An SM-2 style schedule: words you answer wrong show up more often in every game, words you have secured stretch further apart. You just play.

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