What's new in 2.1.1
Lessons now teach as you go. Instead of reading every card and then taking a quiz, each lesson mixes quick recall checks between cards, a halfway checkpoint, a match-the-pairs round and a build-the-sentence round before the quiz — and anything you miss comes back around. Photo Maker • Your portraits now stay in a gallery on your device — start another or relaunch and they are still there. • Results keep much more of your own photo, and you'll see a notice if an image had to be replaced. • Fixed the result screen being cut off below the fold.
