This Apple Design Award–winning language-learning app is a fun way to create audio flash cards of the objects around you.

What we love: Photograph pretty much any object – coffee mug, pencil, cupcake – to turn it into a flash card. You’ll see the word in the language you’re learning (there are 10 to choose from). Just tap to hear the pronunciation.

Quick tip: Your Wordbook collects your saved words, allowing you to build your own personal learning library.

Meet the creator: Ace Li created CapWords’ sticker-like flash cards with his daughter in mind. “She loves stickers – she’d put them everywhere on the fridge, the sofa, even my face,” he says.
