Would you pay for a language app that helps you remember words you look up?
Reverso has launched a rebuilt Reverso Context application for iOS, Android, and web, pairing one-tap word lookup with an automated spaced repetition engine. The app is free to download, and its core contextual searches and bilingual dictionary lookups remain free.
Why it matters
Language learners often look up the same words repeatedly without retaining them, and the rebuilt app is designed to convert those lookups into structured review. The rollout places a free, study-oriented tool with a large existing user base in front of learners worldwide.
The app is free to download, and premium subscriptions range from $2.50 to $9.99 per month, while core contextual searches and bilingual dictionary lookups stay free. The company reports more than 3,000 structured learning lists covering 29 target languages.

The free core tier keeps the basic lookup function accessible while premium tiers add the structured features.
