Why uSage
One tap shows the definition, the part of speech, and a translation of the word as it is used in that sentence.

Save a word and uSage keeps the exact sentence you met it in. A short daily review brings it back at the right moment.

Select a passage, pick a colour, and add a thought. Everything is filed by book and chapter, so you can find it again months later.

Daily review shows the word in the sentence you saved, then asks you to recall it.

Pride and Prejudice, Moby-Dick, Frankenstein and more. Bring your own EPUBs too.

Your streak grows from minutes actually spent reading. Earn streak freezes for busy days.
Download a book once and reading, highlighting and reviewing keep working with no signal at all.
Curious about a word or passage but mid-paragraph? Send it to a queue and keep reading.
