Frequently asked questions

Platform & installation

• Which devices does Wordigo run on?

  Wordigo runs on Windows 10 and Windows 11 PCs. It is not available on Mac, Chromebook, iPad, iPhone, Android, or as a web app.

• Where do I download Wordigo?

  Only from the Microsoft Store. Wordigo is not sold or distributed through this website or any other download site. If you find it elsewhere, it is not a genuine copy.

• Does Wordigo need the internet?

  After installation, you can train and edit lists offline. The Microsoft Store handles install, licensing, and updates separately through Windows.

• Will it work on a school laptop?

  If your school allows installing apps from the Microsoft Store on managed devices, yes. IT policies vary — check with your school if the Store is blocked.

• How do I put a Wordigo shortcut on my desktop?

  Store apps use the Start menu by default, so Wordigo does not create a desktop shortcut automatically. You can add one yourself in two ways. (1) Open the Start menu, open All apps, choose List view if you see tiles, scroll down to Wordigo, then drag it onto the desktop. Do not use Search results — those cannot be dragged. (2) Press Win+R, type shell:AppsFolder and press Enter, find Wordigo in the list, right-click it, choose Create shortcut, and confirm to place it on the desktop. That shortcut keeps working after Microsoft Store updates.

Trial & pricing

• What does the free trial include?

  The full app for 30 days — every feature, no locked modes. After that, a one-time Microsoft Store purchase is required to keep using Wordigo.

• Is there a subscription?

  No. Wordigo is €19.99 once after the trial, through the Microsoft Store.

• Is there a student discount?

  The listed Store price is the price. There are no separate tiers or upgrade paths.

• Can I use Wordigo on multiple computers?

  Licensing follows Microsoft Store rules for your Microsoft account and devices. Word lists are files you can copy between PCs yourself.

• What if we do not buy after the trial?

  The app requires purchase to continue. Your word list files in Documents/Wordigo remain on the device.

• Is there a family plan?

  Not at launch. Each install is licensed through the Store like any other paid desktop app.

Using Wordigo

• Do I need an account?

  No. Open the app and start. No email, profile, or sign-in.

• Where are my word lists stored?

  On your PC as JSON files, typically under Documents/Wordigo. You control backups and copies.

• How many words can a list hold?

  Up to 1,000 word pairs per list in Input Mode.

• Which languages are supported?

  Dutch, English, French, German, Greek, Italian, Latin, Portuguese, and Spanish.

• Can I import from Excel?

  Yes — also CSV, plain text, and Wordigo JSON. Two columns, one pair per row.

• Why must I type answers?

  Typing forces active recall, which sticks better than recognising an answer from a list. That is the core design choice.

Privacy & schools

• Does Wordigo upload my words to the cloud?

  No. Lists and progress stay on the device. The app does not sync study data to BookBeings servers.

• Is Wordigo suitable for GDPR/AVG?

  Because there is no pupil account database, schools often have a simpler story than with cloud learning platforms — but you should review your own policies. See the Privacy page for detail.

• I am a teacher — how do I share a list?

  Send a spreadsheet file. Students import it locally. See the For teachers page for a step-by-step workflow.
