Previous update: Atlas Runa June 2026 Product Update
Free Writing
Free writing got a full rework around one idea: feedback works best when it's a conversation, not a red pen.
- Corrections now arrive in a tutor sidebar you can talk through, instead of a one-shot correction drawer
- Revise your draft in versions and see how each pass compares to the last
- Feedback and chat now share one scrolling history, so you're not hunting across separate panels
- Fixed a bug where your first submission returned follow-up prompts instead of actual corrections
Reading
- Fixed reading history so tapping an article row takes you back into it reliably
- Streamlined the reading feed for faster loads on large libraries
Japanese Reader
Furigana rendering was rebuilt from the ground up.
- Furigana now uses native browser ruby markup, so it lines up and scales better
- Fixed furigana overlapping surrounding text, and gave it more breathing room inside the line
- Improved word lookup so it correctly handles words that span variable-length spans of kanji and kana
- Added fallback lookups for kana-only words and more general dictionary aliases
- Japanese text processing now runs as its own dedicated service for more consistent performance
Chinese Reader
- Fixed pinyin display and highlight alignment issues in the reader
- Fixed dictionary part-of-speech filtering so lookups surface the right reading more often
Conjugation
- You can now retry sentences you got wrong instead of moving straight past them, putting the testing effect to work
Vocabulary
- Vocabulary cards can now be flipped back after you've seen the answer
- Cleaned up vocabulary lists by filtering out stray non-words
- Recommendations now also factor in words you've encountered while reading, not just ones you've explicitly reviewed, blending flashcard review with reading-driven vocabulary acquisition
iOS App (not yet on store)
iOS kept closing the gap with web across speaking, writing, and reading.
- Speaking practice on iOS now matches the web's listen-and-repeat shadowing flow
- Writing tools on iOS aligned with the rebuilt free writing tutor
- Chinese pinyin hints on iOS now match the web reader
- Listening vocabulary updates now show up on iOS
- Reading quizzes on iOS are capped to a more reasonable length per session
