English RankUp was born to build an app that's good at all of it.
One builder and one stubborn belief: a English-learning app can be good at all of it — vocab, audio, grammar and the roadmap, all in one place.
Lessons
Vocab words
Grammar points
Mock exams
I tried a lot of apps. And wanted one that's good at all of it.
Some apps are great at flashcards, others shine at pronunciation or grammar. Each tool is good at one thing, so I kept using several at once and still felt something was missing.
English RankUp brings it all into one place and tries to do each part well: stress-IPA vocab, crisp audio, natural examples, a smart roadmap, an AI tutor and a tidy interface. Every feature solves a real learning need.
Problems learners run into
How English RankUp fixes them
- IPA that doesn't show word stressIPA color-coded by the 5 word stress
- Robotic audio that gets sounds wrongCrisp audio, native voices for A1–B1
- Explanations stiffly translated from EnglishExplanations in your language, with relevant examples
- Ads cutting in, breaking focusEvery feature must make you learn faster
- Rote learning with no clear roadmapA personalized A1–C2 roadmap + SRS
Three things we won't compromise on
Science, not gut feeling
Every design decision is grounded in memory science (SRS, SuperMemo, spaced repetition). No 'learn it all in 7 days' gimmicks.
Respect for your time
Every feature has to answer: 'does this help the user learn faster?' If not, it gets cut. No cluttered UI, no needless features.
Beautiful is the baseline, not a bonus
A daily learning app has to be pleasant to look at to stick with. Every pixel has a reason — typography, motion, sound — all carefully tuned.

The beginning
After self-studying through many tools, English RankUp started from one question: how do you bring everything you need into one app that's good at all of it? Interviewed learners and settled on a product philosophy.
