not enough verbs

not enough verb and needs to be updated especially if you’re paying $5

Perfect

It’s perfect. I wish there were more verbs. This app is amazing.

Good But There’s Room for Improvement

I really like this app, however I think there should be a few adjustments made: I think they should allow you to select what verb conjugations you want to hear, instead of listening to the present, past, and imperative forms. They should also consider having examples of when to use these verbs. And I think this app would benefit from having images with these audios, that's just my two cents. Other than that I'm genuinely enjoying it.

Good for verb training

Perfect little functional tool for practicing Russian verb conjugations and their meanings in English. The pronunciation feature is also excellent- clear pronunciation of all the conjugated forms.
I have a couple of requests for improvement:

1- I would like the fonts to be bigger in the conjugation-practice feature. There’s plenty of blank space that isn’t being used, and on handheld device, it’s difficult to see what I’ve typed, and I f I’ve made a typo.

2- I’d like to be able to click on one conjugated form and hear that in isolation as many times as needed. Currently, the pronunciation feature is accessed by pressing play and you can listen through all of them, the back up or forward while it’s playing, but not click directly on a form to quickly hear that one alone.

3- In the conjugation practice feature, when I type a conjugation incorrectly, it would be best if the app would feed that same verb form back again at least once immediately after, if not two or three times- we know that improvement will happen more quickly if he wrong action is corrected immediately and then repeated correctly several more times to develop a stronger neural connection to the correct action.

Thank you for an easily accessible practice tool!

Great app

Really easy to use. Conjunction is very helpful

Unique & useful but could be even better

As far as I know this is the only app that comes close to ‘gamifying’ Russian verb conjugation.

It would be better if the audio sounded a little more natural and was available during training.

The percentage system is a nice way to track progress/level as well as being rewarded…

Also PLEASE allow some kind of feature where users can add their own verbs.
Similarly, it would be much better if there was also noun declension lists, or the ability to add them.

If the app had the features I suggest, I would rate it 5 stars!

An additional training feature I’d like to see is: sentences with multiple choices to fill in the missing conjugation.

Excellent but more verbs please

More verbs!

Waste of space

useless app. No sound. Complained, but they just want your money and prove to be idle and very inadequate. Do not go near them. Waste of space. Not happy with this app one iota. If I could give them zero stars I would.
I’ve tried it on verifiable devices, same outcome. I am Very disappointed

Response from developer

We didn’t receive your complaint. Audio files are loaded from iCloud so you need an internet connection when you first open a verb. After that the audio file of this verb is cached on your device, if you have enough space. If the device needs space for other apps etc. these cached files will be erased. We did this to keep the app more compact and you don’t waste space for all the audio files.

Is not working the sound

The sound was working the first day. Not any more with current updates in the phone

Response from developer

The sound is working as usual (we tested this with several devices and the most recent iOS Version). The first time you open a verb in detail view it downloads the audio from the Apple Cloud and caches the audio file on your device. Of course you need an internet connection for the first download of each verb (after that the cached version is used). If you keep having problems try to uninstall and reinstall the app from the App Store.

Just what I’ve been looking for

This is an outstanding app. I have been studying Russian for over 5 years and have longed fir a tool like thus. It makes for very efficient study of conjugations. The native speaker is the icing on the cake. Highly recommend this APP.

Got the other 2 apps: Russian tongue twisters andRussian recipes by same developer just for fun. Amazing!
