Keep the photo straight, evenly lit, and include both the English and Chinese areas. Detected entries first appear in the review list. Check each one before adding it. For wrapped phrases, tap Edit in the candidate list and complete the entry.

ClassWords ignores case, repeated spaces, and common hyphen differences, and checks both the permanent library and pending queue. The warning prevents accidental duplicates while still letting a parent review the source.

The app first checks its local dictionary. A parent may also enable online lookup in Settings. Only the English entry is sent to the dictionary or translation service, and the result still needs review.

Yes. Export a CSV from the library editor, edit it in Excel, and import it again. Start with the blank template and keep the original column headings.

Create nested personal groups for grade, semester, and unit, or use your own names. Check the full destination path when adding words. Units under different parent folders may share a name. Built-in packs remain separate from personal groups.

Select multiple entries to move or categorize them together. Sort alphabetically, by import order, or by confirmation time; separate import batches follow their dates. Switch between detailed and compact word cards.

Check the current folder, other filters, and each entry's learning-category labels. Version 1.1.4 fixes labels being lost during duplicate merging, but incorrect labels on older entries still need checking against the original worksheet.

Yes. Choose one or more groups and any needed filters, then set a one-day plan or adjust the daily word count. Version 1.1.4 does not enforce a fixed ten-word daily limit. Choose a workload that fits your review goal.

Recognizing a word does not guarantee correct spelling or reading. Each skill has its own unfamiliarity and next review date. Learners can switch the order, but all assigned skills must finish before the session is complete.

Yes. A mistake raises that skill's review priority. Same-day retries are limited so a session does not become exhausting. Unmastered skills return later in the session, in a future session, or on a dedicated mistake day.

No. Every plan stores its own completion, answer history, and companion growth. Changing days or daily words rebalances future work without turning completed work back into unlearned work.

The app recalculates from remaining words, mastery, mistakes, and days left. A difficult day may add future review or suggest extending the plan.

A normal update does not delete on-device data. Do not delete the app without a backup, because deleting an app also removes its local data.

Export a full backup after a large import or important edit. You may also save to your private iCloud Drive space, where the app keeps recent backups for recovery.

Install ClassWords on the new device, then choose a full backup in Settings or restore one from your private iCloud backup list. The app asks for confirmation before replacement.

No. Photos are processed by on-device text recognition and are not uploaded to the developer's server.

No. The current version uses system speech synthesis to play words and does not collect or upload a child's voice.

Online lookup is off by default. When a parent enables it, only the English entry being queried is sent. A child's name, birthday, results, photos, and complete library are not included.

First check that your device is signed in to an Apple Account, iCloud is available, and Settings has no outstanding account verification prompt. Retry later if availability is temporary. Do not sign out or delete the app to troubleshoot this. Send support your app version and full error screenshot if it persists. Local vocabulary practice remains available.
