Refold Vocab isn't in the app stores yet, but you can still put it on your home screen in about a minute. Open refold.la/vocab on your phone, then tap Install on Android, or Share and then Add to Home Screen on iPhone. After that it opens like any other app, synced with your Refold account.

Refold Vocab lets you study every Refold deck on your phone, synced with your account and all your other devices. It's not on the App Store or Google Play yet, but you can still install it straight from the website. It takes about a minute.
Pick your phone:
This works in Safari, Chrome and DuckDuckGo. It does not work in Brave, or in the little browser that opens when you tap a link inside Instagram, Facebook or your email app. If you're in one of those, copy the link and open it in Safari first.
Open your browser, type refold.la/vocab into the address bar and go. If you already have a Refold account, log in now: the app usually remembers you after you install it.
The Share button is a square with an arrow pointing up. Where it lives depends on your browser:
Tip: the Refold Vocab page also has a How button that shows these same steps on your screen.
A menu slides up. Scroll down until you see Add to Home Screen and tap it.
Leave Open as Web App switched on (green), then tap Add in the top right corner.
That's it! You'll find the purple Refold Vocab icon on your home screen. Tap it to open the app.
The first time you open the app, it might ask you to log in.
Once you're in, you'll see all your decks, ready to study:
I can't find "Add to Home Screen". Scroll all the way down the Share menu first. If it's still not there, you're probably in a browser that can't install apps: Brave, or the browser built into Instagram, Facebook, WhatsApp or your email app. Copy the link, open it in Safari, and start again.
The app keeps asking me to log in. If you use Google or Apple to sign in, follow Step 6 above.
Can I study offline? Not yet: you need an internet connection. Offline study is coming with the full app.
How do I remove it? The same way as any other app: press and hold the icon, then tap Remove App.
Wait, what kind of app is this? Refold Vocab is a "Progressive Web App". That's a fancy name for a website that can live on your home screen and open in its own window, just like a regular app. We built it this way first because it gets Refold Vocab into your hands weeks sooner than going through the app stores. A full app is on its way.
Have feedback? We'd love to hear it. Happy learning!
This works in Chrome, DuckDuckGo, Samsung Internet and most other Android browsers.
Open your browser, type refold.la/vocab into the address bar and go. If you already have a Refold account, log in now.
At the top of the page you'll see a purple box that says Get the Refold Vocab app. Tap Install.
Don't see the box? Tap your browser's menu button (the ⋮ three dots), then tap Install app or Add to Home screen.
Your phone asks if you're sure. Tap Install.
You'll see a quick Shortcut added message, and the purple Refold Vocab icon shows up on your home screen (or in your app drawer). Tap it to open the app.
