Something not working?

24 situations — arrival, errands, eating out, paperwork, social — each playable at three levels, plus 100 lessons that feed them and a 124-piece collection of Spanish art and places you unlock as you go.

Every situation can be played as Guided (Spanish and English on screen, tap your answer), Practice (Spanish only — say your answer out loud), or Real (no text at all, audio only). Real is genuinely hard, and it's the one that matches standing in an actual shop.

None of the three. Gaby is a one-time purchase with no in-app purchases and no subscription. It ships with everything it needs, so it works in aeroplane mode, abroad, with no roaming and no sign-up.

No. Earlier versions downloaded a large AI language model on first launch — that is gone. The current version ships all its content inside the app and makes no network requests at all.

Gaby needs microphone and speech-recognition permission to let you practice speaking. Go to Settings › Gaby and enable Microphone and Speech Recognition. Speech is transcribed on your device.

Matching is deliberately generous — a missing accent or a different word order passes, because being understood is the real-world win. If a specific answer consistently won't pass, that's a bug worth reporting: email the situation or lesson name and what you said.

Yes — every Spanish sentence and every correction in the app is authored text, fixed at release. Nothing is generated, so nothing can invent a wrong answer.

Gaby follows your iPhone's language for its interface, which ships in twelve languages: English, German, French, Italian, Portuguese, Russian, Turkish, Arabic, Japanese, Korean, and Chinese (Simplified and Traditional). The Spanish being taught is explained in English and German. To change the interface language use Settings › General › Language & Region, or set a per-app language in Settings › Gaby.

Tap the gear at the top of any tab to open Settings, then use the Voice and Speaking speed options.

Everything Gaby stores — your progress and your preferences — lives only on your device, and there is no server-side copy. To erase it without deleting the app, open the gear on any tab and choose Erase all data and start over. Deleting the app removes it too. See the Privacy Policy for details.

Settings shows the next queued reminder, so you can tell whether one is scheduled. If it is scheduled but arrives late, check iOS Settings › Notifications › Scheduled Summary — if Gaby is included there, iOS holds its notifications and delivers them at the summary's own times.
