Anki on iPhone. Pay one fee and it funds the other users but it’s forever.
Photosync small one time fee but you get an awesome app forever.
Pleco app. Has some add ons but well worth the money and no other fees.
Anki and Pleco... May I assume you are studying Chinese ATM?
Haha, yes. Used them for ten plus years to study it. Now doing more Japanese but sucking at it. Regardless Pleco is the best language app outside of Anki. No Japanese app can do handwriting like Pleco. If I encounter some old or unclean character in Japanese I still use Pleco
I studied some Chinese in the past, Pleco is pretty good, even the base app offers a lot of features. I'm now learning Japanese too, LOL, started in 2016 and left it in 2019 or so, but recently I've fallen in love with the language again.
That’s cool! :) I also started Japanese in 2016 and also fell off in 2019 until 2020! Chinese maybe since 2014. What’s made you fall in love with it? How’s your studying been?
Funny story, a guy I used to work with was like "hey, let's study Japanese" and I was like "OK", LOL. After that I spent the following 3 years studying Japanese and he quit after a week or so, which didn't surprised me since he has that kind of personality, good kid tho. The hardest part was finding a way of studying effectively, it was the first time I tried learning a language by myself so I spent most of the time horsing around with methods that don't work. Nowadays I mostly do Anki plus lots of input.
