AI-assisted learning is moving from theory to hands-on on iOS. Apps that snap photos, solve math grids, and capture thoughts are turning study into an on-device habit.
Vocab AI on iOS (unnamed in posts) A vocab-learning app described in POST 1 lets a student snap a textbook page and pull AI-extracted words into a study list. It also lets learners practice writing with a keyboard or the Apple Pencil; seven correct writings marks a word as learned. [1]
Math X Tales Math X Tales is a free math crossword game that uses arithmetic instead of words to solve grids. It unlocks fables as PDFs and runs offline with ad-supported access. [2]
Hummingbird Capture A quick-capture ADHD note tool, Hummingbird Capture uses on-device ML to auto-categorize entries like Todos and Ideas. It offers a Focus Queue, voice capture (iOS 18+), and 100% offline use, with TestFlight open for testers. [3]
Pastok Pastok aims to turn casual talk into scannable insights, syncing across Apple Watch and iPhone with a privacy-first approach. It pulls out a to-do list, a daily highlight reel, and a searchable memory—still in early beta seeking feedback. [5]
Spot Fallacy Spot Fallacy offers three modes—quiz, challenge, and debate—and is currently discounted 90% off for an annual plan. The creator is crowdsourcing feedback on pricing and UI as they prep updates. [4]
Closing thought: these iOS apps showcase how AI and on-device ML are reshaping study formats, from vocab drills to memory summaries and logic puzzles.
