No. You can use blas. without signing in — your progress is saved locally on your device. Creating an account lets you sync progress across devices and protects your data if you switch phones.

Go to Settings and tap a language card under the Language section. Your progress for each language is tracked separately.

Blas uses standard learning tracks for core lessons. Irish written content follows An Caighdeán Oifigiúil; Welsh uses a common learner track; Breton uses modern standard Breton with Peurunvan spelling. Regional or dialectal forms are marked when they appear. Separate dialect course tracks are not currently available in Settings.

Yes. New accounts get a 7-day premium trial, and it starts when you finish setting up rather than the moment you download. You can cancel any time inside the trial and keep using the free course, which is the whole curriculum.

On Irish, Welsh, Scottish Gaelic, and Breton, a free account can start one new course unit per language per day on iOS, Android, and the web. Finished units stay open to review. Grammar lessons and graded reading are not locked by stage. Premium removes the daily cap and adds speaking lessons (Irish and Welsh), conversation, writing practice, smart sessions, deep grammar, detailed analytics, and a weekly report. Cornish and Manx are free in full and text-first: no course-wide audio and no speaking practice.

Yes — 50% off Monthly and Annual plans. Sign in at blasapp.com/students and verify your student email using the code we send. If your institution's domain is not recognised, request manual review. The discount does not apply to Lifetime or Family plans.

Yes. The family plan covers up to six people, each with their own account, progress and streak. Buy it once and invite the others from Settings → Family plan.

Yes, a one-off lifetime purchase is offered alongside the monthly and yearly plans on the upgrade screen. It covers every language and course we add.

Go to Settings and tap "Restore purchases" at the bottom of the screen. This will reconnect any previous purchase made on your Apple ID.

That depends on where you subscribed. On the web: open Settings in the app and tap Manage subscription (also under Settings → Account) — you can cancel there in a couple of clicks. On iPhone or iPad: open the Settings app, tap your name at the top, then Subscriptions, find blas. and tap Cancel Subscription. On Android: open Google Play, tap your profile picture, then Payments and subscriptions → Subscriptions. In every case you keep access until the end of the current billing period.

Try tapping "Restore purchases" in Settings. If that does not resolve it, force-quit the app and reopen it. If you are still experiencing issues, contact us at info@blasapp.com with your Apple ID email and we will look into it.

Open Settings and tap “Restore purchases”, then sign in with the same account you bought on. If it still shows locked after that, email us with the store receipt and we will fix the entitlement from our side.

Sign in to your account (Settings → Sign in). Once signed in, your progress syncs automatically whenever you complete a session.

Go to Settings, scroll to the bottom, and tap "Delete account". This will permanently erase your account and all associated data from our servers within 30 days. Local data is cleared immediately. This action cannot be undone.

Yes. Go to Settings and tap "Reset all progress". This erases your learning history and returns you to Stage 1, but keeps your account intact.

On the sign-in screen, tap "Forgot password?" and enter your email address. We will send you a reset link.

Yes. Sign in the way you normally do, then go to Settings → Account and choose “Set a password”. Both routes then work and neither one loses your progress.

Yes, as long as you are signed in to the same account in both. Progress syncs when a session finishes, so finish the session on one device before you expect it on the other.

Stages organise the mutation curriculum into progressive levels. Stage 1 covers the foundations of lenition; later stages introduce more complex triggers, mixed mutations, and edge cases. You advance through stages as your accuracy improves.

After each drill answer, the app schedules the next time you will see that rule based on how well you answered. Items you find difficult come back sooner; items you know well are spaced further out. Over time this builds durable long-term memory.

Check that your device is not on silent and that the volume is turned up. If audio still does not play, check your internet connection — pronunciations require a live connection to our text-to-speech service.

Use the small report control on the question itself, or the “Report an issue” row in a session summary. It sends us the exact item, so we can check the source and fix the content rather than guess.

A unit only closes once its required beats are done, so an unfinished Learn, Read or Speak beat holds it open. Open the unit and look for the beat without a tick. On the free plan you also get one new unit a day, so the next one waits until tomorrow.

That is the review schedule doing its job: items return just before you would forget them, and a miss shortens the gap. If one word keeps slipping, drill it directly from your saved words or a weak-spot session instead of waiting for it to come round.

A focus area drills one thing you are weak at — a mutation, a tense, a case — instead of a mixed session. Pick one from Practice when the general session keeps handing you the same kind of mistake.
