Byki Spanish for iPhone
I’ve heard through the grapevine that our CEO, Mike Quinlan, has been neglecting his usual favorite iPhone apps and firing up the new Byki Spanish iPhone app instead. What this means to us in the User Experience department is: mission success! Byki is just as addictive on the iPhone as it is on the desktop and the Web. And the biggest critic of our company’s products is hooked.
There are a lot of great iPhone apps out there, but just think… instead of the usual turn-off-the-brain gaming session, you could spend 10 minutes increasing your Spanish or French vocabulary. Just like its computer-based counterparts, Byki for iPhone uses research-backed memory-locking techniques designed for adults learning second languages. All 3 modes, Preview It, Recognize It, and Produce It, are active, plus there’s an excellent new Quiz mode for those of us who have a penchant for testing ourselves.
Some of the things that make Byki a killer iPhone application:
- It’s just $9.99, and you get access to over 75 premium Byki lists in your language
- 3 learning modes plus the new quiz mode
- SlowSound technology to slow down audio playback of words and phrases
- Search your wordbank using the iPhone keyboard, turning iByki into a portable phrasebook
- Fast to use—jump into learning within seconds
- It’s very pretty, and we’ve added all the trademark iPhone finger-slidin’ functionality you’d expect from a slick new app!
Try it out, and if you like it, leave a comment on the iTunes store and let the rest of the world know there’s a premium language-learning application out there. Plus, keep your eye out for more languages!

I love byki software, the only problem is the software is incompatible with my iphone
So here’s hoping for an update making it more compatible!
Thanks for all the great comments! We are about to release Chinese (and a few more languages too!) and we are hard at work on adding some features to make the iphone apps integrate better with user authored lists from the desktop.
Please keep letting us know what you want. We can’t promise we will act on every suggestion, but we aim to please…
I’m Looking forward to a Portugues version!
Nice Social networking blog!
I go this for my iPhone…I love it! I am unable to download anything from the byki website to my computer, though! I keep getting an error???
When can we expect a Farsi version? I’d love it.
Looks great…would love an Indonesian version!
Can we also use our own lists on the iPhone version. Can the PC files we create be imported?
Can we load our own lists into the iPhone version..?
So great. I love BYKI…please make a Slovak version for the iphone
Here’s a tip. There are many good Mandarin programs for iPhone, but practically none that teach Cantonese.
Although Mandarin is more popular for business travel to China, Cantonese is arguably more useful in Chinese communities outside of China. Many health care and public workers could benefit by learning Cantonese.
Travel to Hong Kong is another good reason to learn Cantonese rather than Mandarin, where it is the official language spoken by 95% of the population.
Looking forward an arabic version.
