Version 3.2.15
- Word Order Exercise improvements. When you tap the Check button, words in the correct position will be displayed in green, while words in the wrong position are shown in red. Once you've seen these clues, all the words to the right of the first wrong word will dissappear, so you can focus on guessing the next right word.
- Ditto for Write Exercise. If you spell a word incorrectly, the letters in the wrong order will appear in red and will be removed from view.
- Say Exercise improvement. Lingidy will now check if you have given permission to use your device’s microphone and to enable speech recognition, which are necessary to complete this exercise. If not, you will be prompted to turn on these Permissions in in iOS Settings.
- Difficulty Levels. Go to Settings and choose Beginner, Intermediate, or Advanced. If you choose Beginner, then Word Order Exercise and Write Exercise will only show the words and letters in the correct answer. If you choose Intermediate, then an extra word or letter, not found in the correct result will appear in the list. If you choose Advanced, two letters will appear and the first word in the phrase will not be capitalized.
