Everything that shipped in Faust, newest first.
New
The dashboard is now a single board: your exam and the days left at the top, your score and all four modules beside it, your streak, points and badges in one row, and your feed below. A bottom dock replaces the old side menu, and it becomes the tutor input inside a paper. Feed rows carry their reason line, and Wolfgang waits at the end of the list.
Improved
Your avatar and language settings now live inside the account menu, so you change them where you expect them. Menus no longer clip off the edge of the screen. Saving a word confirms right in the word dial instead of a popup.
Improved
Checkout now opens inside the app in your own language, and after payment you land back where you were. Your tutor chat survives a page refresh, so a conversation never disappears mid-thought. Select several words at once and the translation covers the whole passage.
Improved
Every paper now comes from a prepared pool, so a session opens the moment you tap start. The app loads less up front, switches between Teile without a stutter, and reading text on the phone got bigger. You can also sign in with Apple now.
New
On the phone, a swipe turns the page and a hold selects words: the two never fight each other again. Your first session also teaches itself now: a guided first Teil walks you through reading, answering and word lookup on the real controls.
New
Tap any word in a paper and a small dial opens around it: translate it, save it to your deck, or ask the tutor about it in a chat that keeps its thread. Single-word lookups now answer instantly from a built-in dictionary. Daily translation limits went up to 200 for guests and 1000 for signed-in learners.
New
The dashboard list is now built by the engine for each day between today and your exam date. It learns from everything you do: papers, gym drills, flashcards and reviews all move your standing and reshape the plan. Miss a day and the work moves onto the days you have left. Finish the list and you get a short overtime round, then a clean end to the day.
New
The Faust Pass is one payment of 29.99 EUR that runs to your registered exam date, up to 12 weeks. Everything is unlimited inside that window, and access ends by itself, so there is nothing to cancel. Flex is now 9.99 EUR a month for steady practice with no exam date yet. Set your exam date first and the Pass covers exactly the days you have left.
New
Tell us how often you can study and the dashboard lays out every day between today and your exam. Each study day carries its own work, so you always know what to open next. Tap any day to change it and the rest of the plan moves with it. Every paper you finish shows the honest amount it added to your score.
New
The level test now ends with a real commitment: the verdict names the level you are aiming for, and one tap saves your plan with Google or your email. The whole result fits one screen. New alongside it: the Termin Radar tells you by email when to act on exam registration for your city, and new guides cover TestDaF or Goethe C1, Studienkolleg, Ausbildung, and the au pair visa.
New
A new placement test pins your level between A1 and C2 from short German sentences, one at a time. No account, no timer, no long paper. The verdict is careful on purpose: it tells you the level the evidence can certify and the level you are tracking toward, and it never rounds up. Wolfgang waits at the end with your result and a real paper at your level.
New
Your pace has a face. Wolfgang is a small ghost who walks your plan one day ahead of you: catch him before the day ends and you are on pace for your exam. Your own line now tells the story of every stretch in colour, red where you fell behind, green where you held the pace, violet where you ran ahead. You also get your own face: pick a creature drawn in the app's own style, and it stands with you on the chart and in your account menu. The dashboard around them got a facelift: practice estimate tiles that open on tap, a day wall you can plan future days on, and a loading picture that no longer jumps.
New
The dashboard shows a practice estimate for each module as an honest range, built from every paper and writing round you finish. One recommended next step names your weakest module and starts it in one click. A history calendar shows each day you worked; tap a day to see what you did and how it moved your estimate. After each paper, the results screen tells you what changed and where steady practice can take you by exam day.
Improved
The listening and writing samples are now the real paper in read only mode, not a separate mock up. They carry the same part numbers, the same exam badge and the same layout as reading. Listening has a new player: the recording is drawn as a wave you can drag to any point, with speed control and a transcript you can read as a script. Writing has a new sheet: ruled lines show you where to write, the topic is set as quoted material, and how long your answer should be is stated once, beside the task.
New
Press "Keep my progress" and the guest banner opens a small sign up form in place. You can use Google or an email link, and your work stays on screen the whole time. A new account gets 3 free papers as a welcome, with a short celebration that sends them to your account. Your remaining papers now also sit in the sidebar, above your account button, with the Plans link next to them.
New
A panel beside the paper now holds your exam conditions. Timed runs the official clock. Free roam removes it so you can work at your own pace. The page also shows your free papers as a bank with a live countdown to the next one, and the start button always names the exact paper it opens.
Improved
Your climb now starts on day one, even before you set an exam date. Move the pointer and the chart follows it smoothly, short views name the weekdays, and the zoom buttons glide between views instead of jumping. The line draws itself in and the numbers count up as they land.
Improved
Tap the exam name on your overview and it opens into your list of exams. Picking one switches straight away. The level pills are gone, and the exam manager now asks one question at a time.
New
Put study actions on the days you want them. A planned action leads Next up when its day comes, and a paper you finish marks itself done.
Fixed
Sign up and everything you did as a guest comes with you: your papers, your scores and your attempts. This now works on every way into an account.
Improved
When you use your free paper, the app now names the exact time your next one opens. Until then it offers study actions you can do for free instead of stopping you.
Fixed
Repeat a finished paper with one tap. The back control works everywhere, a paper that stalls while it builds can be started again, and error messages arrive in your language.
New
Your score chart now races a ghost. The ghost line shows the pace that reaches your target by exam day, your line shows where you really are, and the gap between them glows green when you are ahead and red when you fall behind. A marker pins today on the chart, and you can switch between Today, Week and To exam views or zoom and pan freely.
Improved
The gym page now leads with the drills you can actually run. Pick an exercise and start in one tap, with a clearer layout that puts the training itself first.
Improved
In the reader you can now drag across several words to look up a phrase or a whole sentence together. The selection follows your finger exactly instead of jumping from word to word.
Improved
Faust has a new bird mark, and the browser tab icon now follows your light or dark theme. Module tiles carry small artwork for each skill, the dashboard shows a proper loading state instead of a blank page, and gap fill answers are easier to read in dark mode.
Fixed
Changing the level of an exam now moves it instead of adding a copy. Exam boards that are not open yet are clearly labeled coming soon.
Fixed
B1 reading papers now include all five parts of the real exam, so a full paper matches exactly what you sit on the day.
New
Tap the exam name on your overview to change level, set each exam date, or add another exam. With a date set, your chart shows the pace you need and a marker for where you should be today.
Improved
Your decks are now the page, with what is due today front and center. Reviews follow a proper spaced repetition schedule, a missed card comes back in the same session, and new decks are created right on the page.
New
Write to us straight from the contact page. Pick a topic, send your message, and we reply to your email within 2 working days.
New
Answer one question about your exam date and the right plan lights up. Change your answers any time and it picks again.
Improved
Surfaces now layer properly in the dark theme, text is easier on the eyes, and colors are calmer. Guests also see a clear bar with a one tap way to keep their progress with a free account.
Improved
Exam boards now appear with their own marks across the app, including the boards coming soon: telc, TestDaF and OeSD.
New
Every level page and every paper can now show you the official format, Teil by Teil: parts, minutes, points and pass mark, straight from the same blueprint your papers are built on. Tap the exam name to open it.
New
Set your exam date in three quick taps: day, month, year. A countdown then follows you in the sidebar and on your overview, with each remaining day drawn behind the number.
Improved
A gap in the text now grows into its own answer list and folds back when you choose. Options keep their a, b, c order, and looking up a word inside the list no longer closes it.
Improved
The level slider, the part switcher and the view toggles now share one control: drag it, feel it click into each stop, and watch it glide when you tap. Same feel everywhere.
Fixed
Collapsing the sidebar or resizing the window no longer clears the chat, and a reply keeps writing while the panel is closed. Double tap any word in a paper to translate it instantly.
Improved
Tap a word and the lookup grows out of it with a small pointer that stays on the word. Tap another word and the menu glides over instead of reopening.
Improved
Answer options are one connected control with a selection that slides between choices. Gaps in the text now look like open slots, so you can see at a glance what is left to fill.
Improved
Expanding, collapsing and the small-screen drawer all animate now, on every page. The level selector can be dragged and settles onto your level.
Improved
Opening a paper no longer repeats the same checks several times. The paper is ready when the page is, instead of seconds later.
New
The paper on the start page now carries level buttons. Tap one and the sample transforms to that level, and your free paper starts there. Every paper also names its exam and level in the top bar.
Improved
The short intro tour now spotlights real controls, opens the tutor panel for you and works the view switch itself so you see what it does. Nothing interrupts you while the tour runs.
Improved
The dashboard now requests only the session details it needs for recent attempts, scores and readiness. Your practice history and results stay the same.
Fixed
If an account check is slow, Faust now stops waiting after a short check and shows a retry page. Your access stays unchanged unless the paper starts.
Fixed
Secure checkout is now available. Your access activates as soon as payment completes, so you can move straight from choosing a plan to practising.
Improved
Your results screen shows recent attempts against the 60-point pass mark. The dashboard counts down to your exam and shows how ready you are for each module.
New
Pick your exam date on the results screen or the sidebar countdown chip. The app counts down your remaining time and shows your distance to pass.
New
Sprint passes can now be purchased directly with no signup required. Your access link arrives by email.
Improved
The Gym is back in the sidebar. Satz-Sprint now spans A2 to C1 with 54 sentences, so there is more material to drill outside a full paper.
New
Visit /tools/goethe-schreiben-woerter to check your text length against the official requirements for each level and Teil.
Improved
An abandoned paper now displays what you wrote instead of a fail verdict, so you can see how far you got and what to work on.
Improved
Trying Faust without an account no longer runs on a one-time budget. Guests now get 50 tutor turns that refresh every day at midnight, so you can come back tomorrow and keep practising.
New
A small banner now shows current service availability with a live clock, so you can tell whether a slow reply is local or service-wide.
Fixed
Guest tutor conversations now keep their context, and brief interruptions recover automatically.
Improved
The tutor can check supporting information during an answer, and brief interruptions now retry automatically in chat and translation.
New
Finished papers now open straight to a marked results view with a clear verdict against the 60% pass mark, localized feedback and next-step actions. Your dashboard shows a scoreboard of recent results so progress is visible at a glance.
Fixed
Long Schreiben submissions now complete marking more reliably, and interrupted attempts can be retried.
Improved
The writing (Schreiben) area was rebuilt, flashcards now run from the spacebar and keys 1–4, and the listening player can skip back five seconds and change speed. Also: resume a session straight from the dashboard, a reworked results page, faster loading states and a long tail of small fixes.
Improved
A slim header replaces the old footer bar, the source text and the questions sit side by side on wide screens, the sidebar collapses to an icon rail, and your saved words are marked quietly in the text.
Fixed
A click now lands on the word you actually pointed at, whole sentences can be translated by dragging across them, and answer positions in exams are shuffled evenly instead of favouring one slot.
Improved
Satz-Sprint gained a combo multiplier, streaks, per-round scoring, and your best result on the Gym card.
New
The Gym is where you drill outside a full paper: rebuild whole sentences in Satz-Sprint, and review your saved words with flashcards.
Improved
C1 reading papers now have tighter grammar questions and more reliable answer keys.
Fixed
Several bugs in the library are gone, so saved material opens reliably again.
