Core vocabulary sits alongside activity-specific language, with powerful features that make it simpler to form phrases and communicate meaning.

Your content is stored in the cloud, meaning any changes you make to your grid sets and settings will be updated on both platforms.
This also means your grid sets are backed up, so if something happens to your iPad you won’t lose your content.

Remote editing enables anyone to edit grid sets from anywhere – using Grid 3 on Windows.
