  • I can’t find the translate button

    I want to like this app. but I can’t find a way to see the English translation, and there is no support! I hope this review will get someone’s attention and then I can give it the stars it deserves.
  • Worth buying if you want to learn Latin

    I have been wanting to learn Latin for sometime now, and I recently bought a copy of the Wheelock’s Latin book, and I have Duolingo on my phone. I am trying to learn it on my own because I want to decipher through historical documents from ancient and medieval times, and this app has been a big help. I don’t usually write reviews but this app was worth taking time to write about!

  • Please add bookmarks!

    An excellent app, a whole Latin library with built-in dictionary (3 dictionaries, in fact), a grammar textbook etc. Very useful, very usable - except this one thing. It doesn’t have bookmarks. It also always opens the books on page 1. How can anyone read any long book without the ability to mark their place in it? Come on, every other reading app has that now.

    Highlights would be nice, too.

  • A MUST have.

    This app is simply fantastic. There is no other app that can match the parser function alone. This, coupled with the myriad of ancient texts with great translations, make this app a must have for any Latin student. I would not be anywhere close to my current level without it.
  • Missing many words

    Was searching for pretty basic words, such as “Loud” and “Sound.” No results. Disappointed.
  • Quiz not working on iPhone Xs

    This app is very help to my latin study but the quiz feature is working on my phone. The answers are revealed without ever showing what the questions are.
  • Totally awesome. "Add to flash cards" option to the dictionary would be awesome.

    This app is totally awesome. It has saved my life on numerous occasions. Paper dictionaries are stupid because I get tired of singing the alphabet song in my head after 34,569 times. This app is an unstoppable Latin learning machine.

    One suggestion: make an "add to flash card deck" option for any word you look up in the parser dictionary etc. that would be incredibly awesome.

  • Perfect app for learning

    Has plenty of literature to read and you can look up words while reading. Unfortunately the app hasn’t been updated in a while and will one day soon be incompatible with future iOS versions. A real loss for people learning the language.
  • Old Apps

    Love this app, but any chance you’re going to update your older apps. I loved them and have really missed them. I don’t have the heart to delete them so they’re just hanging around. I am just grateful this one was saved.
  • Absolutely amazing

    This app is wonderful, I use it every day. The parser isn’t flawless but mistakes are quite rare, and it’s a very powerful tool that makes checking my translations a breeze. The authors section is easily navigable, and I appreciate the historical information too. With three decent textbooks included, it’s a strong quick reference if I forget something. I love the grammar practice section as well. My only problem with the app is that in the “matrix select” practice, the future perfect active indicative forms and the perfect active subjunctive forms are not differentiated between (despite being mostly identical), leading to some questions requiring a 50/50 guess for the correct answer. I can’t think of a productive way that could be solved, though, so 5 stars for the most exhaustively near-perfect app I’ve ever used.
