Questions and answers

Is Leben really free?

Yes. Everything in the app is free, with no ads and no subscriptions.

Do I need an account?

No. You can use the app as a guest, and your progress stays on your device. An account is only needed to sync progress between devices.

Which devices does it work on?

iPhone and iPad with iOS 17.6 or later.

Which languages are available?

The questions stay in German, just like in the exam. The interface is available in 17 languages, including Ukrainian, Turkish, Arabic, Persian, Dari, Polish, Romanian and Kurdish. Translations of questions and explanations are machine-generated and can be shown next to the German original.

Does it work offline?

Yes. All questions are inside the app, so you can study without internet. If you are signed in, your progress syncs once you are back online.

How do I delete my account?

In the app, open your profile, then Account → Delete account. This deletes your account and synced progress. You can also email hi@moonage.me with the subject “Delete my account”.

How do I reset my progress as a guest?

Use “Reset progress” in your profile, or delete the app from your device.

Is this an official BAMF app?

No. Leben is an independent learning app. Its explanations, translations and learning tools help you prepare, but it is not an official product of BAMF or any other German authority.
