What’s new?

🎙️ Audio Matches

This has been one of the most requested features for Polygloss and I’m so excited it’s finally here! You can now send and receive audios instead of text in your matches. This is a Polygloss Unlimited feature. Make sure you subscribe to unlock this and many other premium features such as unlimited energy. Another benefit is that when you start a new match and send an audio, your partner can respond with an audio too regardless of their subscription status. Along with this feature, comes the possibility to send an audio correction, and a new “Perfect Pronunciation” player reward.

📈 Words and matches statistics

💁‍♀️ Profile pages with personal link or contact

Your profile now has a much richer experience, showing you more detailed stats of your Polygloss usage, including how many unique words you have used so far in text messages. This profile will be visible to others, and during matches you can see more info about your partner, such as which other languages they speak. If you are a Polygloss Unlimited subscriber, you can also include a website or email address to your profile, which will be visible to all on your public profile.

🎯 Customizable daily or weekly goals

Define a goal for yourself of how many messages you want to send, daily or weekly, and track your progress.
