Extension summary

Sign up to not only continue watching the videos you already love watching but learn with some real world examples at the same time.

➤ Supported on Netflix, YouTube, Disney+ (and more coming soon...)

➤ Watch, Review, Recall all in the same platform We’ll do the flashcard making so you don’t have to! Iago automatically keeps track of the words / grammar you’ve seen and has built custom spaced-repetition quizzes for you to recall the content you’ve seen so far.

➤ The only platform that tracks grammar We believe grammar is just as important as vocabulary — especially how easy it is to forget part of the structure. Iago tracks and will display grammar on the content you’re watching.

➤ Keep track of your progress globally Progress isn’t bound to a list or deck anymore, Iago keeps track of your progress per word / grammar.

⏎ Give Us Feedback We’re continuously building so we’d love to hear from you live on what features you all want next!

I have been using this extention for almost a year. But recently the subtitles keep flickering and I am unable to get translations while hovering words.
