Here is the full breakdown, computed from the packs the app ships.

How these numbers are made
Every figure on this page is computed directly from the pack manifests and the pack registry the shipping app is built from. Each unique phrase is counted once per direction it ships in, the per-level “Everything” aggregates that bundle a level’s themed packs are excluded so nothing is counted twice, and the length averages cover every entry in the pair. The audio count was verified the same way: all 5,960 entries carry a recording, with zero gaps. Entries run ahead of distinct phrases for two reasons: part of A1 ships both as a single starter pack and split across the themed packs, so 639 phrases are carried by two packs at the same level; and 174 recur at more than one CEFR level and are counted once in the distinct figure.
The proficiency grading follows the CEFR, and the English frequency backbone is the New General Service List (NGSL 1.2), published under CC BY-SA 4.0; Vocabcord’s derived vocabulary lists share that license.
