Common questions.

Yes, actually free. Twistik 1.0 ships with all 14 languages and every feature, no ads, no time-limited trial. There's an optional in-app tip jar if you'd like to support development, but it buys you nothing extra: the full app is free for everyone.

No. Twistik is local-first. All twisters and your progress live on your device. Internet is only needed for crash reporting (off by default) and for the optional rate prompt — which opens the App Store or Play Store depending on your device.

Fourteen as of 1.0: English, Spanish, French, German, Italian, Portuguese, Dutch, Russian, Polish, Croatian, Turkish, Hindi, Japanese, and Persian. Each language ships around 1,000 hand-curated twisters.

Yes. Settings → Practice Language. Switching reloads and reshuffles the deck for that language. Your favorites and mastered list are scoped per language, so they don't mix across decks.

It's a 2-player local game on a single phone. Set player names, pick a target score (5 / 10 / 15 / 20), pick difficulty, then take turns. The watcher scores each attempt: Got it +2, Almost +1, Missed 0. First player to the target wins. No microphone, no timers. Just trust between players.

On your device, in app-private storage. Recordings are NEVER sent to a Twistik server. They're excluded from Google Play Auto Backup by design, so they don't survive a reinstall on a different device. Up to 5 takes per twister, 30 seconds each.

Favorites, mastered list, streak history, freeze inventory, daily goal, language preference, theme, color scheme, and notification settings. Voice recordings and filter settings are NOT backed up. Use Settings → Data & Backup → Export for a manual JSON export. Android uses Google Play Auto Backup; iOS uses iCloud Backup. Voice recordings are excluded from both — they stay on the device that produced them.

You start with 2 freezes. Earn +2 every 7-day streak milestone (day 7, 14, 21…) and +1 on any day you exceed your daily goal (max one bonus per day). Cap is 6 freezes total. Open the app after missing a day with at least one freeze available, and Twistik asks if you want to spend it. Decline and your streak resets, but the freeze stays.

Anonymous crash reporting (Firebase Crashlytics) and minimal Firebase Analytics events are off by default. They're sent only if you turn them on in Settings → Send crash reports. There is no advertising tracking, no third-party cloud sync of your practice data, and no account requirement. See the privacy policy for the full list of what is and isn't collected.

Yes. Twistik launched simultaneously on Google Play and the App Store. iOS 17.0 or newer (iPhone). Same content library, same 14 languages, same features — the two apps shipped together and have full parity. Minor UI details follow each platform's conventions (SF Symbols on iOS, Material icons on Android), but anything you can do on one, you can do on the other.

On Android, Google Play Auto Backup (enabled by default) restores your full progress — favorites, mastered list, streak, settings — automatically on reinstall to the same Google account. On iOS, iCloud Backup covers the same data if iCloud is active on your device. Voice recordings are the exception on both platforms: they stay on the device that produced them.

Settings → Reset app data. The action is destructive and irreversible. Twistik asks you to type RESET to confirm. Wipes all favorites, mastered list, streak history, recordings, and settings on this device. If Google Play Auto Backup (Android) or iCloud Backup (iOS) is active, the cloud backup is also cleared.

Android 7.0 (API 24) or newer, and iOS 17.0 or newer (iPhone). iPads can run Twistik but the layout isn't optimized for large screens in version 1.0.

Feature-for-feature, yes. Same 14 languages, same content library, same gamification rules, same Twist Duel. The two apps launched at the same time and are at full parity. Minor UI details follow each platform's conventions — SF Symbols on iOS, Material icons on Android — but you won't find a feature on one that's missing from the other.
