Did you know that you can install Readlang to your Android home screen as a web app?
I’ve put instructions to do this here: http://readlang.uservoice.com/knowledgebase/articles/346169
It’s not as fast as a native app could be and it doesn’t work offline, but it’s full screen which is much nicer for reading.

I forgot to tell that it could be any app, most of the aps on Android allow you to share highlighted text to other apps. It could be browser, e-book reader or readers like Flipboard.

Hello Steve,
I was talking about situation where you read article, book whatever on mobile or tablet (Android). You find a word that you want to learn and want to quickly collect that word (ideally whole sentence) to readlang.
Until now I used Evernote for this (it worked quite nice on desktop too but readlang is in desktop Chrome even better :) ). So with an app, you get the nice feature of Android, you highlight the text you want to share (word, sentence, entire article) and share it to Readling App directly.
I have already done it the way you suggest, but it is really too "manual". I have even switched to reading on Android instead of iOS which doesnt support share to app (it took them quite long to bring sharing to facebook and such / iOS have only predefined apps you can share to - at least 1 year back was so - it's been 1 year I switched to Android and use Evernote for collecting bits of texts).

Hello Steve, +1 for the app.
Heart of Readlang is sharing text from where I read. Android has nice feature to share highlighted context to an app, however what you described is not sufficient for this.
At least wrapping your site to an app would be nice.

Thanks for the suggestion. Currently all your words are private but I’ve been planning to open things up so that by default everyone shares their words and phrases publicly, and probably to restrict the option of private words to paying users only. This would open the doors for the kind of collaborative features you suggest.
Watch this space!

Great news, given that it will be really collaborative, not only open. Memrise do it simillary, but not as open vocabulary page.
I think you can get great deal of traffic from Google to this sort of vocabulary page. I always bump to yourdictionary.com when i search for "word + sentence use" to add more context to my word database (I used Evernote before Readlang for building my DB of words I want to learn along reading).
Not the least, it will add value to your product and foster community. For now I see value in ease way of collecting words and its sentences form read articles and nice way of learning them.

Another nice feature of an app would be alert "3 words to drill today, lets do it" :)
I just tend to forget to open readlang and drill my words.
I like the graph of how many words I learned. Alert will warn me no to break the chain of my graph and build the learning habit.
