Your first ten minutes

You need the Android app and a word or subject you want to learn. You can begin studying without an account. Features that connect to other services explain when sign-in is needed.

Set up your languages

1. Follow the welcome screens and choose the language you speak and the language you want to learn.
2. Choose how you want to begin: create a course, bring an existing deck, or add your own words. You can come back to the other options later.
3. If you reach an account or Pro offer, read the options on that screen. Signing in and subscribing are separate choices.
4. To change your languages later, open Settings → Languages. I speak controls the language of meanings; I’m learning lists your target languages.

Choosing a language does not guarantee a dictionary is available for that language pair. Check its download status before creating dictionary-based cards or a course.

Find your way around

• Flow is where you review. Remilo chooses cards from your active decks according to their schedules.
• Library is where you find decks, browse cards and open deck controls.
• Progress shows your study activity and upcoming work.
• Settings contains learning preferences, appearance, languages, connections and data controls.
• The + button opens Add card. If you use Ball navigation, open the floating ball to reach the same destinations.

Add your first word

Enlarge screenshot

1. Tap + and check the language under I’m learning.
2. Type a word you expect to use. Try a familiar, everyday word rather than a long list.
3. Tap Generate card when available. Check the meaning and example in the preview.
4. Edit the preview if needed, then tap Add to Flow. If a dictionary entry is unavailable, use the manual option the app offers and supply the meaning yourself.

Expected result: the card is saved and you return to Flow. A duplicate may open the existing card instead of creating another copy.

Complete your first review

1. In Flow, look at the prompt and try to remember the answer before revealing it.
2. Tap to reveal. In Quiz mode, follow the choices instead.
3. Grade honestly: Again if you could not recall it, Got it if you could. Four-button grading offers Again / Hard / Good / Easy.
4. Continue for a few cards, then stop whenever you need to. You do not need to finish a whole deck in one sitting.

If Flow is empty, add cards, check that a deck is not paused, or wait until a scheduled card is ready. “All caught up” is a useful stopping point.
