Does Vokabulo work offline?
Short answer
Almost entirely. Only Scenes needs a connection. You can capture words with no signal and Vokabulo fills in the translations as soon as you are back online.
No signal? No problem.
- Built for the Wild: Studying, adding and editing words all work offline. A connection is needed for translation, Scenes, your tutor, browsing Sets, the leaderboard, and pronunciation of a word you have not played before.
- Cloud Safety: Your data lives on your phone and in the cloud. Lose your device? Sign in on a new one and your vocabulary will be right there waiting.
Capture Now, Translate Later
You can add words while offline. As soon as you reconnect, Vokabulo automatically fills in the translations.
The queue is broader than translations alone: quiz results, settings changes, adopting a Set and a new profile photo all wait offline and go out when you reconnect. Vokabulo retries on launch, when you come back to the app, when the connection returns and after each sync, backing off between attempts.
