The layout is good but having just downloaded the app there is absolutely no training functionality as advertised, which was the main attraction of downloading the app in the first place.

Response from developer

Yes, there is a training functionality. Just open a verb list, e.g. "All Verbs". There you will see a big blue button at the bottom of the screen (with a doctor hat). Press this button to enter the training mode for this specific verb list (in this case "All Verbs"). You can see the way it works in the following video (in German) at 5:25 min: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bpYDObHcmig Please, reconsider your rating if you agree with the solution.

Not what I hoped for

I purchased this app, and I am disappointed. All the conjugations for a given verb are on one audio file, if you want to hear, lets say, future tense,, you either have to listen to the dozen+ conjugations before it, or guess where in the audio file your desired conjugation is, jump to that point, and hope you're close.

I would not have purchased this app if I had tried it first. Took a chance, made a mistake.

Nice app but not enough verbs

It's awesome and convenient that it provides a explicit conjugate table. But it only has a few hundred verbs

Great, but could be finessed

I am just starting to learn Russian - about 50 hours into it.

This app is really useful.

I would like more verbs, 500 or so would be good.

Most important are the irregular verbs that don't follow group 1 and group 2 conjugation. These require memorisation and aren't easy to find, so I'd like more of these.

The interface is a bit clumsy when you finish a search. A new search doesn't automatically bring up the full list from which to search, you have to swipe & select all verbs. It's doable, but a bit clumsy.

The perfect app for learning and practising Russian verbs.

This app is brilliant. It is very stable, incredibly easy to use and very well laid out. It's packed full of all the verbs that I think I'll need, and has very clear pronunciation with a genuine human voice rather than those horrible computer/robotic generated noises. If needed, I can manually add additional verbs to the list for free, but there is more than enough here for most people. I purchased the "in-app add-on" which also gives me access to the aspectual partner, which for 79p is a bargain and also really useful. Perhaps the most ingenious part of the app is the training section which allows you to practice the verbs of your choice, and track your learning progress. For the price, I don't this app can be bettered - it's certainly far superior to other verb training apps available. A truly great resource for learners of the Russian language.

Very good tool

I rarely write reviews but thought this app so good and effective as a supplement to my other studies that I wanted to single it out. I've only been studying Russian a short time but have found the simplicity of the interface and challenge of the exercises to be very helpful.

Helpful app

I found this app to be helpful as a quick reference especially for pronunciation and conjugation. The test option is good practice too. It would be great if they added more verbs and allowed sorting be verb aspect pairs.

Deficient

It has few of the verbs and does not provide all of their tenses

Russian apps

Best verb leaning app on the iPad

Not for english speakers - now fixed

This app does what it says - it provides the conjugations of Russian verbs.
However, you can't look up an english word to find the Russian verb!!! Instead you have to type the verb in Russian to find it.

New comment: the new version is fixed in that you can search for verbs in English. Well done for listening.
