add a mark for letters that are stressed in the word for example instead of помощь it would be по́мощь to aid in pronunciation of the words

If this is implemented, it will be good to mark stressed symbols with a color or something to tell users that the mark is added to indicate stressed letters, but it is not part of the correct writing of the word. In many languages there will be no confusion, but languages like Spanish or Portugues already include accent marks: "tomo" and tomó in Spanish are different words. "tomo" means volume (of a book) and "tomó" can mean he took, he grabbed and another meaning is he drank. If you take the first example and display "tómo" instead of "tomo" a learner might think that's the proper writing of the word because Spanish already uses accent marks. It depends on the language but, please, consider that some languages are written with accent marks and it will become confusing to learners if nothing indicates the difference between proper writing and visually stressed letters.

Yes it would be great. By the way, I saw words with stressed letters highlighted in one of cards set. I do not know how exactly it is done but seems it is used some 'specific' character as a 'stress mark' there

It is used socalled 'Combining Acute Accent' - Unicode: U+0301 It is not present at tipical keyboard so may ask dev team to add a button 'insert accent after current position' to 'edit card' interface that would emulate entering this specific unicode
