Cringe is a language-learning app that uses AI lessons and personalized review to help learners work on the words and skills they find difficult. Its conversation tutor lets users speak in full sentences and gives feedback on pronunciation, grammar, and confidence. The app supports more than 50 languages, including Welsh and Swahili. It tracks words users get wrong or forget, then uses spaced repetition to shape later lessons, including the next day’s review. Lesson length adjusts to the time available; the site reports an 11-minute median daily session. Offline mode is listed, and the web version can be installed as a progressive web app with offline content saved on the device. Cringe is available on iOS, Android, and web, with a free plan and no ads, including on that tier. Its privacy policy says it does not sell personal data or use it for advertising, and users can access, export, or request deletion of account data. The app is for users aged 13 and older.
