Changelog

What’s new.

Every change a learner can see, newest first. The web app updates on reload; the Android app gets a change with its next build, named where it matters.

  1. Notifications, a bell for messages, and Lexpad in ChatGPT and Claude

    • The Android app can receive notifications from Lexpad: product news, and gifts such as extra AI cards or days of Pro. More
    • A Product news as notifications switch in Settings turns news off; gifts always arrive.
    • The notes after a few days away come from one place only: the server when it can reach the phone, the phone itself otherwise.
    • A bell in the top-right corner of Today keeps every message from Lexpad, with a dot when something is new. More
    • The web app can show browser notifications: turn on Notifications in this browser in Settings.
    • In the Notebook, the header slides away as you scroll down and returns when you scroll up, now on the web too.
    • Connect your notebook to ChatGPT or Claude, then ask it to save words, show your recent or due words, and quiz you; answers count as practice. More
    • Settings lists connected assistants under Connected apps, and Lexpad tells you whenever a new one connects.
    • Assistants can browse and filter your whole notebook a page at a time, open any word in full, and see your notebook’s counts.
    • Signing a device out now takes effect on its very next request, and two Lexpad tabs no longer sign you out by renewing your sign-in at the same moment.
    • Assistants can also edit a word and its meanings, star and retire words, and, with a permission of its own, delete words.
    • The feature pages on this site were redesigned, with screenshots, step-by-step examples in the app, and a full guide to Lexpad in ChatGPT and Claude: what to say, every tool, how to connect and how to stay in control. All features
    • Settings, Connected apps has a Connect ChatGPT or Claude guide: pick ChatGPT, Claude or Claude Code, copy the address or command, follow the steps, and the list updates when you come back. More
    • Android 1.0.44 carries the notifications; 1.0.45 adds the bell; 1.0.46 adds the connect guide and the sign-in fixes.

  2. Smarter reminders, a notebook that remembers

    • The daily reminder plans a week ahead with each day’s count, speaks up after 3, 7, 14 and 30 days away and then stops, and nudges in the evening when a streak is about to end. More
    • In the app, the reminder is on by default at 20:00 during setup, and Today offers it to anyone who has words and no reminder.
    • The notebook keeps its filter, order, level, kind and display when you visit another tab and come back.
    • Meanings and Examples are two switches on the notebook screen, in their own Show row under the filters, instead of inside the Filter sheet.
    • The notebook header slides out of the way as you scroll down the list, and the search and filters come back as soon as you scroll up.
    • Android 1.0.43 carries all of these.

  3. Tidier on small screens

    • The details toggle and Fill with AI always share one line; on a small screen with large text only the button’s small hint shortens.
    • Notes inside Settings, such as the one under Practice style, line up with the rows around them.
    • Android 1.0.42 carries both.

  4. Your main meaning

    • Choose which of a word’s meanings practice asks about: move any meaning up on the word’s page, with Undo. More
    • Hiding examples in the notebook no longer hides a word’s other meanings.
    • The session summary names the deck you practised, such as Starred or Level B2.
    • C2 is offered wherever levels are listed: the level decks, the add sheet and the counts on Today.
    • “Also read example sentences” now reads the example aloud when a card is turned over.
    • The tab bar is a solid card instead of see-through glass, so its tabs read clearly over any page.
    • When adding a word, the Add buttons stay in view at the bottom of the sheet, however long the AI card is.
    • On narrow phones and with a larger system text size, the Fill with AI button no longer breaks into three lines after the card arrives.
    • Android 1.0.39 carried the first two changes; 1.0.40 and 1.0.41, the same day, carry the rest.

  5. Lower prices

    • Pro now costs 2.99 USD a month or 19.99 USD a year, on the web and in the Android app. Pricing

  6. A font for every script

    • A proper face for each of the writing systems Lexpad offers, from Cyrillic and Greek to Devanagari, Thai and Ethiopic; Hebrew no longer borrows the Persian font. More
    • On the web, each font downloads only when its script first appears; Android 1.0.38 carries them all.

  7. Better handling of accents and scripts

    • Words that differ by a meaningful mark stay apart (“año” and “ano”), while search still forgives accents.
    • Pasted Chinese, Japanese, Thai, Lao, Khmer and Burmese text is split into words.
    • The practice screen holds still: the answer buttons never scroll away.

  8. Lex and a new design

    • Lex, an AI tutor that works with your own recent words, in its own tab. More
    • A redesign: one type family, reworked Forest and Coral palettes with every text at WCAG AA contrast, a floating tab bar and an add button on every screen.
    • The box meter shows each answer moving a word up or back during practice.

  9. Words worth keeping and voice

    • Words worth keeping: paste something you read and get the expressions and words worth a card, each with its sentence (Pro). More
    • Voice input: say a word instead of typing it. It launched free and became part of Pro the same day; it is free in Persian notebooks.
    • Promotion codes that give Pro.
    • A default notebook, one “All notebooks” choice for the whole app, and words filed in the notebook their script belongs to; rename and remove notebooks.
    • The browser extension files a word in the notebook whose script it matches.

  10. Several notebooks, sharing and Kindle

    • Keep more than one notebook, merge two without losing progress, and practise one or all. More
    • Share a notebook by link; anyone can read it and take a copy.
    • Import from a Kindle: highlights from My Clippings.txt and looked-up words from vocab.db.
    • Paste a text and pick the new words out of it.
    • A weekly summary e-mail on Monday mornings, after a week with practice.
    • A getting-started list for new accounts.

  11. Free for Persian

    • A notebook with Persian on either side gets every Pro feature free, and says so instead of showing a price.

  12. Pro, 81 languages and the extension

    • Lexpad Pro on the web and in the Android app.
    • Eighty-one languages in any pair, with a searchable language picker. More
    • The browser extension for Chrome and Firefox. More
    • Set a password on a Google account.

  13. Kinds and levels

    • Filter and practise by level and by kind: phrasal verbs, idioms, nouns, verbs, adjectives, adverbs, slang.

  14. A friendlier start

    • Three introduction screens before sign-in.
    • Adding a word you already have moves it to the top instead of failing; “Move to the top” on any word, with Undo.

  15. Devices and refinements

    • Signed-in devices, with sign-out for each; change password.
    • Refine an AI card: Simpler, More examples, More formal, or your own request.
    • Delete your account from Settings.
    • Choose a palette and theme during setup; daily reminders in the Android app say how many words are due.

  16. More languages

    • Learn a language in itself, with learner’s-dictionary definitions instead of translations.

  17. Android

    • The Android app, by direct download, with Google sign-in.
    • E-mail confirmation and password reset.
    • Choose which new words come first, and a practice style.

  18. Lexpad

    • Richer AI cards with every common meaning; edit a saved word, and Improve with AI fills only what is missing.
