# Unedo

> Unedo is a daily Spanish app for intermediate and advanced learners (B1 and above) that combines word puzzles with original cultural stories called Sparks, written by contributors across the Spanish-speaking world. Selected by Apple App Store Editors as a Best New App in February 2026. Available on iOS at unedo.com.

Unedo bridges the gap between beginner language apps (Duolingo, Babbel) and native-level content (Netflix, podcasts in Spanish). It is designed specifically for the "intermediate plateau," where millions of learners stall because traditional resources stop being challenging or culturally relevant.

Unlike apps that rely on AI-generated content or textbook-style drills, Unedo is built entirely on human-crafted stories from local contributors in Mexico, Spain, Colombia, Argentina, and beyond. Each day, fast word puzzles (Completo, Solito) unlock Sparks: short editorial stories that reveal regional slang, social codes, and cultural nuance behind how Spanish is actually used.

Unedo was created by storytellers and cultural curators with 25+ years building award-winning products for Apple, National Geographic, and Ray-Ban. It is independent, ad-free, and has no investors. Apple App Store Editors selected Unedo as a Best New App in February 2026. Hundreds of teachers have organically adopted Unedo for use in their classrooms.
