What’s New Version 3.4
This is the biggest update to Brill yet.
Words now cycle reliably. The core scheduling system has been rebuilt from the ground up — daily, hourly, and 15-minute cycling now works correctly every time.
What's new for everyone:
- Now 37 languages — including Hindi, Arabic, Urdu, Farsi, Bengali, Tamil, Lao, Khmer, and Afrikaans, all with full
pronunciation guides and romanization for every new script
- Pronunciation for all 37 languages — phonetic guides now appear in the widget for every supported language, free for all users
- Hear any word spoken aloud — tap the speaker button in the widget to hear the word pronounced by a native voice
- Hear phrases spoken aloud — a speaker button now appears on every phrase in the list and phrases widget
- Pronunciation guides for all phrases — phonetic guides shown below every phrase in the list
- Tap the widget to open the word detail sheet — tap anywhere on the word to see its full pronunciation, audio, and tags
- Daily reminder at 1pm — opt in from Settings to get a nudge on days you haven't opened Brill yet
- Gendered articles in the widget — languages like French, Spanish, Italian, Portuguese, Dutch, and Danish now show the actual article (le, la, el, de, het…) instead of a generic gender label
- Haptic feedback on key actions
New for Pro:
- Add your own custom phrases to the phrases widget
- All languages updated to 1,500 words
Bug fixes:
- Lock screen widget no longer shows "Upgrade to Pro" in the widget gallery for pro users
- 15-minute countdown timer now appears correctly on first open
- Fixed duplicate pronunciation text in the phrases widget for Cantonese, Mandarin, and Hokkien
- Pro features (cycling, blur, word frequency) now correctly reset when a subscription lapses or you sign out
One more thing: if you go to Settings → Extras, there's something a little different hidden in there.
