Common questions

Is it really free?
Completely. Every lesson, both drills, the whole rules library, the feed and the garden are free. There are no in-app purchases and no subscription — nothing to buy.
Will I lose my progress if I delete the app?
Yes. Everything lives on your device and nowhere else, which is also why we can't see it. Deleting the app deletes your streak, mastered words and garden with it.
My reminders aren't arriving.
Check iOS Settings → Notifications → German Growth, and that Focus or Do Not Disturb isn't silencing them. You can set as many reminders a day as you like, at your own times, in Profile → Reminders.
Why does my garden look bare?
It grows from what you actually do — lessons finished, nouns and cases met and mastered, and your streak. It also wilts if you leave it, and a single lesson revives it. Tap the eye in the top corner to preview it in full bloom.
Why does it start me on gender and cases rather than vocabulary?
Because that's the part other apps skip, and the part that stops sentences coming out right. Vocabulary is easy to pick up anywhere; declension isn't.
Can I use it offline?
Yes, all of it. The only thing needing a connection is the online dictionary lookup, which opens a website when you ask it to.
I found a mistake in the German.
Please tell us — include the lesson or word and what it should say. The course is written and checked carefully, but a real error is worth fixing quickly, and we'd rather hear it.
