What You Get for Free
FSRS Spaced Repetition
Words you save are reviewed using the FSRS algorithm — the same method used by memory researchers. Reviews are scheduled at the optimal moment, not daily, so you spend less time and remember more.
Up to 100 Saved Words
Save up to 100 words to your personal vocabulary. Each word comes with context from the article where you encountered it — the most effective way to make words stick.
Pronunciation & Translation
Every word has audio pronunciation and a translation. No switching between apps — everything is in the reading flow so you stay in context and don't break your focus.
Why Reading Is the Most Effective Method
Traditional vocabulary apps ask you to memorise word lists in isolation. The problem: isolated words have a 70% forgetting rate within 24 hours without context. Reading fixes this.
When you encounter a word in a sentence — with a subject, action, and situation around it — your brain creates a richer memory trace. You remember not just the word, but when it appears and how it sounds in use. Readavo tracks which words you've seen, which you saved, and which need review — automatically.
The result: users who read 3 articles per day typically add 5–10 words to long-term memory each week, even on the free plan, with just 15 minutes of daily practice.
