  • Ella knows verbs

    This is a great app whether you're a beginner or already know some Spanish. Verbs are the key to Spanish and Ella is the tool to tackle them. It's simple to navigate and fun to use. You can easily customize quizzes to match your goals and available time. You can take the lessons in sequence or jump directly to what you want to learn. The progress reports and stats help motivate me and keep me on track. My favorite daily Spanish practice!

  • EXACTLY what I needed

    This is a well-thought out app with an easy and straightforward interface. It gives you the framework so that you understand the method of how the verb forms are constructed, and explains the exceptions, all in sensible bite-sized pieces. The multiple (and customizable) ways to practice and quiz yourself have really improved my Spanish in a short period of time. I could not have asked for anything better.

  • A dynamic method for drilling verbs!

    Over the years, as a teacher and student of languages, I have tried many verb learning apps. Ella Verbs is the most useful that I have worked with. It is great to have so many functionality options that enables me to use the app at a pace that works for me.

  • The Best Spanish-learning App

    I’ve been frustrated in the past with programs like Rosetta Stone and Duolingo because you end up answering the same questions over and over—well past the point at which you’ve absorbed the information and are ready to move on.

    Ella Verbs is much more customizable—you can jump around, bypassing levels if you feel you’ve learned enough and going back to review or refresh your skills as needed. This is especially helpful if, like me, you know Spanish pretty well but have learned in a scattershot way over the years, leaving gaps in your knowledge: Ella Verbs lets you target the areas where you need improvement, from relatively simple elements like direct object pronouns to the complexities of the subjunctive. But it’s great for users at any level.

    Not least, the interface is elegant but simple, and they don’t waste your time with dancing cartoon creatures or cutesy phrases. (If you mess up a test, they just say “Hard luck.”) All in all, it’s a pleasure to use and well worth the price!

  • Great educational methodology!

    This is well thought out for people learning Spanish. l recommend this for people that are serious about learning Spanish. I’ve used other apps to get to where I am, as a beginner. This app is helping me to learn the language and not just memorize words.
  • Superlative Application for Verb Conjugation

    I have been trying to learn Spanish well enough to have a conversation in the language or to read “El País”, the Spanish newspaper. I have never been able to accomplish this due to lack of understanding of verb conjugation. Last Thursday I started using the application and I cannot stop using it. I did sixty quizzes in the first two days. I have tried so many applications and I honestly feel this is the best to accelerate my learning of verb, verb tenses, and verb conjugation. Just as a side note regarding support. I sent a request on Sunday and was pleasantly surprised to see Jane (co-author) answer my request within a few hours.

  • I love this app

    I just moved to Costa Rica with my family and I only had HS Spanish over 25 years ago. This app is great for getting me up to speed on past and future tenses. I love the flexibility for creating quizzes on almost anything. I like that I can hide vosotros, which is not used here. I love the support for learning irregulars.

    Thanks for the great work! The $2.50 a month seems extremely reasonable too!

  • The app I’ve been looking for…

    I’ve been looking for an app like this for a while. It systematically teaches you the verbs and quizzes you on them until you understand. My Spanish has already seen improvement since I started using it.
  • Incredible Tool for Learning Verb Conjugation

    I typically don’t leave reviews for ios apps. However, given the incredible quality of this app, I bend the rules.

    I have been learning spanish for the past three years. I discovered ella verbs two years ago. It without a doubt is the best spanish learning tool in my arsenal.

    The developers are a husband and wife, and are very communicative. Unlike almost all other software developers, they actively add features and improvements to the app. For the first time, a subscription based model makes sense as continue to receive value from the developers.

    If you are willing to work and truly want to learn the conjugations pay the money, and get the app. You won’t regret it!

  • Super efficient learning

    An excellent app. It’s really fast and efficient at learning Spanish. Much better than apps that are well known. Highly recommended, and I’ve tried a lot of apps!
    Also excited for new updates as I feel as though the creators listen to the users and constantly improve the app.
