French Daily Study Support

French Daily Study teaches French vocabulary to English speakers: every noun with its article and gender, every phrase the way it actually sounds, a word on your Lock Screen, and short original example sentences with audio — all offline.

Common questions

How do I add the Lock Screen widget? Touch and hold your Lock Screen, tap Customize, tap the widget area and choose French Daily Study. Home Screen widgets: touch and hold the Home Screen, tap Edit, Add Widget. Tapping a card opens exactly that word in the app.
Why is gender reviewed separately from meaning? Knowing that l’école means “school” does not tell you it is feminine — the article l’ hides it. Each noun keeps its own gender track (un or une?), so a correct meaning never hides a gender you have not learned.
I cannot hear anything. Check the ringer switch and the volume, then check that a French voice is installed: Settings → Accessibility → Spoken Content → Voices → French. The app never reads French with an English voice; without a French voice it stays silent and says so.
What are the marks under the sentences? Sound notes. A small arc joins two words that link when spoken (les‿amis), a bar shows where they do not link, an underline marks letters that make one sound, and a struck-through letter is written but not pronounced. Each mark is explained in words under the sentence. Turn them off in Settings → Help on cards.
What is included without paying? The first session, a permanent Starter Set of 15 words and phrases with audio and reviews, one question in each practice module and the Basic widget. Nothing new arrives by itself; the full path is an optional upgrade.
How do I restore a purchase on a new phone? Settings → Restore Purchases, signed in with the same Apple Account. Learning progress is not synced by Apple; export it from Settings → Your data on the old device and import it on the new one.
Why did my cards not change on the Lock Screen? iOS decides when widgets refresh. The app requests a rotation a few times a day (or hourly), but the system may show the previous card longer, especially in Low Power Mode.
Which French is this? The standard French of France. Informal spoken forms are shown next to the standard ones and labelled as such; neither is treated as a mistake.
What does “Strong” mean? A practice status inside this app: a skill answered correctly on at least three different days with a review interval of a week or more. It is not a language-level certification.
