Stay with Language Reactor if you learn at a computer or watch Netflix. Lingible does not work with Netflix, and it has no desktop version.
Choose Lingible if you learn on your phone. Open a YouTube video with dual subtitles on the train, tap the words you miss, and review them later as flashcards.
Choose Lingible if you also want to read. The same tap translation works across free books sorted by level, so reading and listening build one vocabulary.
