Gloss is a dictionary for iPhone that explains any word the way you read: Plain, ADHD, Gen Z, Metaphor, Formal, or Like I’m 5. It sends one new word every morning, chosen for your level, and makes it stay with three questions and four short games. No ads, no tracking. It is made by PixelPaw, a small studio in Iași, Romania.
