In brief · compiled from lexisread.com

What is it?
A reading app for books in a language you are learning. Tap any word you don't know to see its meaning without leaving the page.
Who is it for?
People learning a language who would rather read real books than drill flashcards.
How does it work?
You read inside the app; tapped words are saved and brought back later with spaced repetition until you remember them.
What does it cost?
A free tier covers 50 word translations a day and 3 books. Pro removes the limits and comes with a 7-day trial.

It lets intermediate language learners read English books, articles, and their own EPUB texts with translations in their language. Readers can tap words for context-aware translations, save them with their original sentences, and review them with spaced-repetition flashcards. It combines reading, vocabulary building, and review in one app.
