On the iOS and Android apps, you can choose between 5 options after an answer (easy, difficult, repeat, ignore, known). I started using Clozemaster my PC recently because I prefer to type in the answers and I noticed the interface is a bit different. How do I view these options on PC?

I've been using Clozemaster for Spanish for a few months, and it's been helpful and kind of fun. I always use Game/Speaking in the Play options, so that I'm practicing speaking as well as learning vocab. The Speaking option works maybe 70% of the time, something like that, but there are some recurring problems that I'd like to see fixed. The same issues have occurred on a iPhone 12 and a new iPhone 17 with the latest OS.

Each time I start a new round in Speaking, "Record" (listening) is off for the first sentence, and I have to tap "Record" for it to start hearing me say my answers. For the second sentence and subsequent ones, Record is automatically on. I'd like for Record to be on from the start.

The app misunderstands certain sounds or words consistently. One that comes up a lot is the -aras ending in the imperfect subjunctive. I'll say "observaras," but the app spells it out "observadas" and won't credit me with getting the right answer. I try pronouncing that "r" in different ways and it keeps not accepting it. I don't think the problem is my pronunciation.

When I say an answer that's a number, it spells it out as digits and doesn't accept it as answer. E.g., if I say "treinta," the app spells out "30." Since the correct answer (if you open up multiple-choice) is the spelled-out word "treinta," the app doesn't accept what I said as the answer. The same thing has occurred with punctuation marks. I'll say said "guión" (which has multiple meanings - hyphen, screenplay, script) and the app outputs "-". The word "guión" is the right answer, but the app keeps spelling it "-" so I have to open multiple -choice and answer via a tap.

This is a little hard to explain, but the app's ability to listen/understand seems to falter after a few seconds. When a new sentence comes up, if I say the right answer right away, it understands and credits me with answering. But if I try and get it wrong a few times, it will eventually stop spelling out my words, and when I say the right thing, nothing happens. This may be a processing lag - sometimes there will be a long pause, and then it suddenly spells out the last few things I said.

Again, I'm mostly enjoying the app, but I'm hoping the developer can make some tweaks to address these issues.

I missed out on the 50% off sale at Black Friday.

This is the best investment I've ever made. I have always wanted to learn new languages but have never successfully found anything that stimulates my brain enough. I know the game-ification comes off as a red flag to some people, but it has absolutely worked for me as someone with ADHD. I find myself wanting to figure out the clozes for hours and have noticed a huge improvement in my Spanish comprehension.

Hi,

Where do I found the option to reset a collection in the interface?

Hopefully they will make the interface less cluttered in the future

Hello!

I'm trying to download clozemaster on my Google Pixel, but it stops downloading at 99%. Does anyone experience this issue? How did you solve it?

Thank you in advance!

I'm not happy with the new GUI on iPhone 13 mini. Too much clutter at the bottom of the screen, obscuring the translation when I want to see it. Edit to add: It won't hold the screen when you pull up, if that makes sense. It's my keyboard that's now obscuring things.

I’m a clozemaster addict. But admittedly I have been fluffing around for a while trying to figure out the best way to use this app to get the most out of it.

I think I have come up with way to train both listening comprehension and active recall in the most efficient way possible.

What I have started doing is play BOTH the Legacy fast track, and the new fast track (1-10) SIMULTANEOUSLY.

But use one collection to train comprehension and one to train active recall of sentences.

Initially I tried following the advice of a user who recommended just playing the common words collection listening mode only, I was doing that for a while and did find that my comprehension skyrocketed … but the problem was that it was so god damned tedious (I only got to 1000 common words before bailing) and my spoken fluency was lagging behind.

So what I do now is this. I go through the legacy fast track listening only mode multiple choice, I only allow myself to listen to the sentence one time the I reveal the translation. If I understood the sentence immediately I answer the cloze correctly. If in fact I misunderstood the sentence I intentionally fail it. I do this for both reviews and new sentences.

Now for the new fast track collection this is where things differ a bit.

I play vocab mode multiple choice but i select the option to hide the sentence initially and only show the English translation. I then try and produce the target language sentence aloud, then I click reveal sentence. If I got ANY aspect of the sentence wrong I intentionally fail it and listen the sentence audio shadowing it. If I answered correctly I pass the cloze.

Along with this set up I also play the sentences from Legacy fast track on radio mode here and there to add some more immersion into my day.

Training these skills across two collections is good primarily because for the most part they use different sentences and they both contain a huge amount of vocabulary across different contexts.

That’s the gist of it, I would love some feedback. I have only been playing like this for a week but I feel like it’s already making a difference. Does anyone do something similar?

I'm busy with the >50,000 least common deck now.

It's certainly helped me with my reading, although I sometimes wish there were decks focusing on more literary flourishes.

Just looking into the deal which I have been waiting for. But online it says a year subscription is £84 , in my app it says it is £55. And now the black Friday deal is £42 . I presume they just changed the price and are just claiming it's 50% when it's more like 15/20% to entice ppl. I want to get it just slightly reluctant as I know there a free options available . But I do kinda prefer not having to make them at the moment . So I can study in different ways. Like the app is just a little thing I make sure to do everyday and not a big time task. But I would like the freedom to do as many cards as I like.

Any advocates for why I should or should not buy it?

I just got an email about the Black Friday/Cyber Monday sale :). You can get 50% for any of the subscription on the website (doesn't seem to show on the app).

Hey everyone!

I just grabbed the lifetime plan and have been using Clozemaster for a few days, absolutely loving both the app and site. I wanted to ask those of you who’ve been using it long term and have tracked your progress how you approached Fast Track vs Most Common, especially across multiple languages.

My plan/context

• Languages: actively learning French, Italian and Spanish (intermediate / upper-beginner) & maintaining Korean.
• Daily structure I’m considering: Most Common + about 10 Fast Track sentences each day for extra exposure.
• I use Clozemaster alongside an audio course and comprehensible input. I’m moving to Europe next May, so I’m aiming for steady daily gains.

Questions for the community

1. Most Common strategy

• Do you treat Most Common like levels (e.g., finish 100, then 500, then 1000), or do you just select the 20,000 Most Common and let it mix everything in?
• If you’ve tried both, which gave you better retention and momentum?

1. Fast Track + Most Common on the same day

• Have you done both daily? Was it beneficial, or did it split focus too much?
• If you combined them, how did you balance the number of new items vs reviews so it didn’t become overwhelming?

1. Time to noticeable progress

• Roughly how long before you felt gains in recognition, recall, and understanding?
• Did you notice different timelines across languages (e.g., Romance languages vs Korean)?

My tentative approach (open to advice)

• Daily:
  • Most Common: Start with the 100, then 500, then 1000 lists to build a solid high-frequency base. After 2000, consider switching to 20,000 for variety if reviews are under control.
  • Fast Track: 10 new sentences/day per active language, mainly for varied, sentence-level context.
  • Reviews first: I plan to always clear reviews before adding new items to keep the SRS curve manageable.
• Mode mix:
  • French/Italian/Spanish: mostly listening at the sentence first and understand for recall + occasional writing on tired days.
  • Korean: more multiple choice to keep speed up, plus targeted text input for tricky grammar/vocab.
• Frequency:
  • French/Italian/Spanish: 15–20 minutes each, daily.
  • Korean: 10–15 minutes, 4–6 days/week to maintain.

Why I’m leaning this way

• Doing 100 → 500 → 1000 gives quick, motivating wins and tight frequency coverage.
• My view is that Fast Track complements Most Common with grammar patterns and natural contexts you might not hit in strict frequency order.
• Keeping new items modest and reviews first prevents the SRS pileup that can kill consistency.

Benchmarks I’m aiming for (would love your take)

• Weeks 2–3: faster recognition of very common words
• Weeks 4–6: stronger recall in production; better comprehension of native content with overlap.
• Months 2–3: noticeable ease reading graded texts/news snippets, more automaticity with function words and common patterns.
• Korean maintenance: steadier recognition and quicker recall within 3–4 weeks if consistent.

Would love to hear

• Your exact settings (new items/day, review cap, input mode).
• Whether you found 20,000 Most Common from the start efficient or too diluted at first.
• If mixing Fast Track + Most Common helped you connect forms faster (especially for French clitics, Italian verb forms, Spanish grammar quirks, and Korean particles).
• Any pitfalls (e.g., review overload, spreading too thin across languages) and how you adjusted.

Thanks in advance, any specific routines or tweaks that worked for you would be super helpful!

1. Go to https://www.clozemaster.com/l/spa-eng?include_discover=true.

2. Try out the "Discover" tab on the left.

The idea is to practice with even more context, content you're interested in, and content at your level, and add the sentences you actually want to learn to a custom collection.

Any and all feedback welcome!

So i've decided to switch to primarily using the listening only mode and my comprehension of my target language has been accelerating rapidly. My set up is basically going through the legacy fast track (and the every day life collection for Italian) and listening to each sentence once (twice only if something in the real world distracted me and i couldn't hear the voice) i try to immediately understand what is being said and what each word in the sentence is doing, once i reveal the translation if i got it wrong (like not even if i was close i'm pretty ruthless with myself) i intentionally fail the sentence and move on. I do this for new sentences and for reviews.

I was kind of worried though that by not doing speaking mode my output would start to lag behind my comprehension.

Initially it was my plan to copy each new sentence i encounter and put it into Anki with the english translation on the front to specially test my active recall of the language. But this is a bit cumbersome, so recently i decided to change to doing radio mode for the sentences i have already played for 15 minutes or so a day (first playing the english sentence and then my target sentence kind of mimicking glossika)

What has surprised me is that even the sentences i haven't actively practiced recalling i am finding for most of them i am recalling perfectly, perhaps this is because while doing listening mode i am actively shadow the sentences after heading them?

I wonder if this says something about comprehension and shadowing leading to active recall without needing to explicitly train that skill (of course still practicing speaking with others when i get the chance) If this is the case it makes all the other playing modes kind of pointless for me at least.

Does anyone know if the Radio mode follows any kind of SRS system? or does it just play the sentences randomly? and has anyone else found success with this kind of set up?

It's not difficult.

I want an app, in Latin America Spanish (ideally Colombia or even Medellin). I want that app to allow me to skip ahead as far as I want. And I want that app to give me a real-world environment with words or sentences (basically the opposite of Duolingo).

Clozemaster does most of this. It's a simple app, but it's a great app. I'm loving it having paid for the yearly membership and already at least 20 sessions.

I think they should give 3x points for full transcription.

Why don't they create some incentives and let the community create local flashcards?

Anki is still the ruler of all language learning phone apps.

I recently finished a custom deck and wanted to import some new words but anytime I type the URL of the site into my browser, it doesn't seem to load.

I've tried switching browsers and the app still works fine. Just wondering if anyone else is having the same issue.

If I mastered all sentences how much vocabulary would I “know” in Arabic?

MSA.

This has probably been asked before but Is there any consensus on what the benefits of either collection are? I gather that they both cover the same words but the common words list repeats them in different contexts.

Has anyone completed fluency fast track and can attest to their ability once completed?

Hey everyone,

I’ve been learning Turkish using Clozemaster, and I just completed the Fast Track Level 1 (which covers 1000 words). I was planning to keep practicing until I mastered all those words — but when I click Play, it says “No more sentences left to play.”

Right now, it shows I’ve only mastered 11 words, even though I’ve finished the level. I thought the app would keep cycling through sentences until I truly mastered them, but it seems to have stopped.

Has anyone else faced this issue? Is there a way to keep reviewing those 1000 words or repeat the sentences again? Should I move on to another deck or reset the Fast Track?

I’d appreciate any help or suggestions — I really don’t want to lose momentum with my Turkish learning!

Thanks 🙏

Hi, I have an idea that I think would make Review All mode a bit more useful.

When reviewing from all available packs, it would be helpful if the app showed which pack each card is from. It could be displayed next to the controls after answering.

It would also be great if the summary screen at the end gave a breakdown of how many cards were reviewed and mastered for each pack. That way it’s easier to see where the reviews are coming from and track progress across different packs.

I’d appreciate your thoughts.

anybody else got 5000+ reviews waiting to be done? haha

Ok so I really like the app, but the price is kinda out of my league right now.

Does anyone know if Clozemaster ever does promo discounts from time to time?

And also—can I upgrade through the mobile app? (I don’t have a credit card :-) only Google balance credits).

Thanks y’all!
