Leave a Review SPQR Latin Dictionary and Reader
Love it, but please try to fix the bug!
This the most used and appreciated app on my phone. It’s really remarkable in breadth and depth, but as others have noted, the app has recently started crashing whenever I click on one of the Lain authors. Deleting and re-downloading the app did not help.THE EDGE ROCKS!!!!!!
5 stars for the old days
This app seems dead. Crashes to home screen any time you try and click an author. It’s a 1 star rating for this, but I’m giving it 5 stars as a legacy rating for well over 5 years of excellence when it did function properly.Yomerodakh
Formerly Great App Lost its Library
Title says it all. SPQR until recently was a fantastic collection of Latin literature that also included a useful dictionary functionality. The dictionary still works but any attempt to open one of the works by the Latin authors causes the app to crash. I infer that the developer has fallen behind on maintenance for compatibility with iOS updatesShow lessmaniguydude
Crashes repeatedly
I have been using this app on my iPhone almost daily for about ten years. The last few months, the app crashes when I go to the dictionary. I have uninstalled and re-installed the app, looked for an update, and tried to locate contact information for the developer to no avail. Could you please fix it?Show lessLara Sowell
Crashes repeatedly now
I used to love this app and used it almost daily. Now it crashes every time I try to use it. I have deleted the app and reinstalled it. That did not help. I cannot figure out how to contact the developer, so I decided to write this review to bring awareness to the issue.This is your app, amici
I used this app to supplement 2 years of college Latin and 10 years later it is still a source of interest and fascination.
A specific benefit is that the parser search result are easier to parse than other parsing Latin search engines.HjFUN
Not Optimized for iPad mini6
There're two large blank or black bars on the top and bottom, which makes a substantial waste of the screen. More importantly, there's no way to take notes, for example, highlight and underline, while reading the texts. It has been more than 5 years, I believe, since the app's release and there's still no way to take notes. The content is good but what makes me want to use the app rather than to read my Latin paperback?Show lessJun Chen in May

Bookmarks and Annotations
SPQR is a godsend to people who want to read authentic Latin but still lack enough vocabulary and familiarity with the structures of Latin to do so unaided.
However while good it could be better. More often than not when I reopen a book it’s not opened to the last page I read but rather to the beginning of the book. That is an annoying bug that should be simple to fix.
Additionally the lack of bookmarking and annotating is a significant shortcoming for those who want to do more than just breeze through a text.
Don’t get me wrong it’s a great app but it could be so much better.Show lessSCanz61
Good dictionary, but where are the fantastic games?
This app used to support a series of fantastic Latin games (Latin Match, Speed Latin-my students’ favorite, several others) and they were priceless. Fun for me, fun for the kids in my class. Our school bought licenses for all of them. Now we can only play them on the old ipads, as the updates don’t support them. Bring them back, PLEASE!! I’d even pay the $15 apiece for them, they were that good and motivational. The dictionary and reader is good, but doesn’t hold kids’ interest. I’m begging you…..Show lessMagistraD
