Settings and Account
The Profile tab is the rightmost tab at the bottom of the screen. It's where you manage your subscription, customize the app, and find community links. Here's a walkthrough of everything you'll find there.
Free Plan and Plus
Snap to Learn is built by a small family, and every scan costs real money to process on the backend. The app works on a freemium model so it can stay running and keep improving.
A typical workbook page contains around 40 words, so every single scan gives you a big chunk of vocabulary to practice. Here's how the plans work:
Free Plan: You get 3 scan credits to start -- that's roughly 120 words of vocabulary to practice right away. All practice features are fully available: handwriting recognition, keyboard input, test mode, and hints. You also get 3 free exercises to try them (fill-in-the-blanks, tenses or dictation; a dictation counts as 2), you can practise 3 verbs from your own decks form by form, and you can conjugate 3 verbs from your own decks on the Verbs tab (the Demo Deck is always free). Text-to-speech pronunciation is free for your first 20 plays -- the Demo Deck does not count towards them -- after that it requires a subscription.
Plus (the subscription): up to 80 scans per month -- enough to build a vocabulary of 3,200+ words from a single textbook. Plus also lets you create up to 50 exercises every month (fill-in-the-blanks, tenses and dictation), and gives you every verb on the Verbs tab, unlimited verb forms practice and unlimited text-to-speech. You can pay monthly or yearly; the yearly plan works out cheaper per month.
Scan Packs: Prefer to buy scans as you go? One-time packs of 20, 50 or 100 scans (roughly 800, 2,000 or 4,000 words) are available on the Packs tab of the upgrade screen. You open it from the Membership screen with Upgrade to Plus.
Scan packs never expire, and you can buy them on top of a subscription if you need extra credits. Note that scan packs add scan credits only -- ongoing exercise generation comes with a subscription.
Prices depend on your country: the upgrade screen shows them in your local currency, as set by the App Store or Google Play.
The features behind the paywall are scanning, text-to-speech (after the free 20 plays), generating new exercises (after the free 3), verb forms practice on your own decks (after the free 3 verbs), and conjugating verbs from your own decks on the Verbs tab (after the free 3 verbs). Everything else is free: once words are in your decks, practicing, testing, and playing or replaying any exercise you've already generated never costs a thing. For a full walkthrough of the exercises feature, see Fill-in-the-Blanks Exercises.
The top of the Profile tab shows your plan:
- On the free plan, the Your free plan card shows how many scans, exercise generations, verbs and pronunciations you have left. Scans from a pack you bought appear as a green line under the scans count. Tap See what Plus unlocks to open the Membership screen. It compares the free plan with Plus side by side; tap Upgrade to Plus to choose a subscription or, on its Packs tab, buy scans. The Membership screen's Packs section lists the packs you own. You can also restore purchases from the Membership screen.
- With Plus, the Your Plus card shows how many words you have learned and what you used this month. Until you use something, it shows what Plus includes instead. Tap Manage Subscription to open the Membership screen, where you can see when your plan renews.
Learning English
When your active language pair targets English, the Profile tab has a Learning English section with the Verb Forms setting. Here you choose whether verbs are practised form by form, which forms are asked, and whether that applies to irregular verbs only or to all verbs. See Verb Forms and Tenses.
System
The System section holds the app-wide settings.
Appearance
Choose between Light mode, Dark mode, or Auto. Auto follows your phone's system setting, so if your phone switches to dark mode at night, the app will too.
Language
This changes the display language of the app itself (menus, buttons, labels). It does not affect the languages you're learning -- those are configured when you create decks.
Share Usage Data
This setting controls anonymous analytics that help us improve the app. The data is never sold and never used for advertising. If you'd rather not share anything, you can turn this off at any time with no impact on your experience.
Push Notifications
The Push Notifications section has one row for each kind of notification. Each has its own On/Off setting, so you can have one without the other. Turning either on asks for your phone's permission the first time. If notifications are blocked in your phone's settings, the rows show Enable in Settings instead.
Scans & Study Reminders
Get notified when your scans are done processing and receive daily study reminders. Helpful if you want a nudge to keep your streak going.
Reminder Time
Once scans & study reminders are on and a deck has a test-date reminder, a Reminder Time row appears. It sets the time of day your reminders arrive, for all your decks at once. You can also change it while setting a deck's reminder.
New Features & Tips
A short note when something new arrives, at most once a month. It's off unless you say yes, here or when the What's New screen asks. Turning it off leaves scan and reminder notifications as they are.
No account needed
When you first open Snap to Learn, the app creates an anonymous account for you automatically. There's no sign-up form, no email required -- you just start using it. Your data is stored locally on your device.
Community
The Profile tab includes links to the Reddit Community, where you can share feedback, ask questions, and connect with other learners, and a quick link to Rate the App on your app store.
Support and Legal
Under Support, Contact Us gets you in touch with us, and What's New shows the latest changes to the app again. The Legal section links to the Terms of Use and the Privacy Policy.
Restore Purchases
If you reinstall Snap to Learn or switch to a new device, tap Restore Purchases on the Membership screen to recover your subscription and any scan packs you've bought. This pulls your purchase history from the App Store or Google Play.
A note for parents
The user ID shown at the very bottom of the Membership screen is useful if you ever need to contact support. You can copy it with one tap. If your child is having an issue with their account or subscription, including this ID in your support message will help us find their account quickly.
