If you decide to download this app, I recommend that you read all of the following.
I got frustrated by the lack of freeware vocabulary testers and their limitations (or their annoying frills), so I made this application instead. It is designed for functional use rather than aesthetic pleasure, and therefore users may regard it as not particularly "feature-rich". But I hope it is actually useful in the real world.
The idea is that you can add your own vocabulary lists, and within each list you can add (or remove) your own vocabulary. You can then select which particular list you want to practise. The app will display a particular word which you should translate, clicking on the reveal button if you want to check. By clicking the "next" button, the app will display another piece of vocabulary in the chosen list. In this way, the app will cycle through a random shuffle of the list (rerandomizing it when you get to the end) so that you can test against the entire list. There is a reverse button which enables you to do the same thing, but with the translation in reverse.
The premise for the app is that you can build up a vocabulary as you go, adding a handful of words at a time, rather than having a non-personalized vocabulary list to work through. This is useful in the real world, where you encounter a new word to learn. Of course, for exam purposes, one could still add a given vocabulary list to the app by hand (actually if you are clever, a quicker method would be to import a text file containing the vocabulary list - see below). Other uses for the app could be to store unusual words of your own native vocabulary, or to learn grammar e.g. conjugations and declensions. Of course, by the very nature of this app, you can create vocabulary lists in any language that your phone's keyboard supports.
I have also added basic import and export functions to the app's main menu. The import reads .txt files stored on your phone (or any external storage that your phone has access to such as google drive or an SD card). The import function reads the first line (and subsequent odd lines) of the file as the vocabulary, the second (and subsequent even lines) as its translation (and so on).
The export function will ask to send a .txt file (written in the style above) as an attachment via some email/messaging service. It has been checked to work on gmail, whatsapp and signal. You could send the file to yourself or to your friends. On receiving it, they will need to save the file to their phone (you might need an android text editor to do this) and then use the app's import function to load it on their app. You might also like to use this function to save backups of your lists in case you have to reinstall the application.
This is the first release so there may be problems on certain devices. Please let me know in the comment section below. The app has been tested on several average android phones of screen sizes between 5 to 7 inches, where it seems to works fine.
Good luck with learning your vocabulary!
