Language In Use vs Readlang
Both let you read in the language you're learning, tap a word to translate it and keep it for practice. Here is where they differ.
The short version
- Pick Readlang if you mainly want to read any web page you choose with a translation tool on top.
- Pick Language In Use if you want posts already graded for your level and no daily cap on word lookups, with games, other learners and teachers in the same place.

Questions
Is there a limit on how many words I can look up?
No. On Language In Use you can tap as many words as you like in every post, on the free plan too.
Do I need to find my own texts?
No. Every post is already written and graded A1 to C2, so you can pick your level and start reading.
What does Premium add?
In the app, Premium removes ads and gives you unlimited games and unlimited AI tutor chat. Reading and looking up words are always free.
