Not a true dictionary, almost useless

This app is not a true Latin dictionary. For verbs, a proper Latin dictionary will show the 4 parts of the verb to indicate the proper declension, etc. For nouns, the nominative and genitive to show the declension, etc. The meaning of any Latin sentence is based upon Latin grammar and the proper conjugation of verbs and the declension of nouns. This app gives none of those. For anyone leaning Latin or the experienced Latinist, this app is not for you.

Useless

Doesn’t show any results whatsoever. Only displays ads to download other apps. As a matter of fact, I’ll follow the advice to download a better app and delete this one.

Does not translate

This app does not translate Latin words to English. At least I don’t know how to make it do that. Is there something I’m missing? Please help.

Doesn’t do anything

Didn’t do anything and required the downloading of another app to even use it.

Already found some more words

I really just needed to learn more Latin. Though, I am considering buying a physical dictionary. So I can put my notes and suppositions all over the margins to find possible cognates and false cognates.

Useless

Not sure if it is because of my dark theme or just stellar design but you can read what you type and you can’t read the results. If it’s my theme I’m not changing it for one app

I can’t see the output words on iPhone

When I translate a word, it doesn’t show it. It’s all black

Useful but could be designed better

The app is quite useful for translating and looking up words, but it does have one issue; the output information is always in black font which blends in with the background, it seems, on the dark iPhone appearance. If it changed with the brightness or made the font not blend in with the background, it would be an easy 5 star. Unfortunately, that is not the case. To use it, you need to change your phone appearance to light every time you want to use it, which is quite inconvenient.

For translating though, it works well. 5 stars for that. - 1 star for poor design.

Dog

I tried to search the word dog in English and it kept giving me words like “dogmatic”. Terrible app.

Words don’t show up

I saw that I need to change my phone’s display settings but that’s totally ridiculous to ask a user to do
