## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated)

### 1/5 — Stopped working

*2024-06-22*

This has been a fantastic app and my go to app for French verbs. However, it has now stopped working on my iPhone. Not sure if this is an iOS version issue or if the app is just no longer being developed or supported.

### 3/5 — French Verb Trainer

*2010-02-25*

Is the english translation of 'finir' really to depend on?
Why are the passé composé conjugations for 'aller' missing?
Maybe I will be able 'to depend' on it once it's 'finished'.

### 3/5 — Great app but...

*2010-01-31, version 0*

This app is really helpful for studying verb conjugations with various tenses. However, it does not include être which is essential for conjugating certain tenses. Would give it a 5 star review if this was fixed.

### 3/5 — Great idea/too many mistakes

*2009-11-18*

The basic idea of this app is GREAT. I gave this app 3 stars because of various errors.Among other things, I tried to send the following message to John, but the address provided in the app did not work:I'm enjoying using verbtrainer. Love the principle of it. But even using it for only a few days I've run into some errors--and assume there are more....I thought it was odd that you did not have 'acheter' as one of your verbs,so I checked 'buy' on the English list, and there I found 'compter,' whichmeans 'count' among other things. I think you should include 'acheter' asit's a super common verb--and change the meaning of 'buy'. Just found a problem with 's'amuser.' You've got 'sont' for third person singular passé composé. And you don't note the endings. Should be il/elle/on s'est amusé(e). In conjugations you're using the word 'gerund' where you should be using 'past participle.'Luckily these are things that did not throw me off, as I have a basic understanding of verb forms. I'm just a little worried about 'learning' from the things I don't realize are mistakes....Good luck with your next update.P.S. Just noticed another error. You have 'pouvent' instead of 'peuvent' for the third person plural present tense of pouvoir. YOU HAVE A GREAT IDEA. BUT YOU REALLY NEED TO GET SOMEONE TO PROOFREAD FOR YOU!!!! GOOD LUCK.

### 3/5 — Useful but has bug

*2009-06-24*

This is the best & most flexible verb tutor. It is easy to limit drills to particular verbs & tenses. 

App would rate five stars except for a seroius bug: second person plural forms seem to be absent from the drills (at least for Avoir & Être).

### 3/5 — Good app but untrustworthy data

*2009-06-22, version 0*

The design and concept are good, and the performance is quick. Unfortunately, some of the answers are wrong (e.g., "elle se sont mefié," the imperfect indicative of réussir is given as "elles réussissaient"). The words are always spelled correctly -- they seem to be jumbled in the table. Also (less importantly) some of the English translations are wrong or weird (e.g., the English translation of "accorder" is "accorder"). If your French is good enough that you can recognize the wrong data, and you want to practice with a fairly addictive app, go ahead and buy it. I'm still using it, though I'm hoping the developers will fix their tables quickly and do an update. Otherwise, I'll move on.

### 4/5 — Not bad

*2021-09-05*

For around £3 this isn’t bad at all, it gives you what you want without any pesky in-app monthly subscriptions. The layout at first can be a little off-putting but once you get into it you start to appreciate the personalisation and customisation features with the lists and so on. It helps you to practise conjugation which is what I wanted. However some vital and most frequently used verbs are missing like Être. Which is odd for a verb conjugating app.

### 4/5 — Much better program than another verb app

*2013-08-08*

This app is cheaper than another I've seen. It has compound verb tenses, the ability to create and use lists, quizzes and tests. Best of all: no hidden fees!

Downside: I tried to make a list using the "être" verbs. 4 are missing from the app: devenir, monter, descendre, and rentrer. I hope these are added in an update. 

I'd give it 4.5 stars if it were possible.

### 4/5 — Great App, some missing info

*2010-02-12*

Hello, not all verbs have all the conjugated forms, some missing data but overall great trainer

### 4/5 — Good but needs work

*2009-12-13*

This has the potential to be a great app as it allows you to pre-define verb lists and only test certain tenses. As you become more familiar with the language you can increase the list of verbs and tenses.

However it can be really annoying in Quiz mode as the software gets stuck in a loop and keeps asking you to conjugate the same verb/pronoun combination.

## Most praised reviews (7 highest-rated)

### 5/5 — Powerful teaching tool

*2020-04-06*

The app includes an incredibly comprehensive, fully conjugated, list of French verbs.

One can review as many verbs, in as many tenses, as needed for daily study. 

You do that by creating verb lists. 

The verb lists are then used to formulate computer generated quizzes. 

The developer was amazingly swift in responding to my requests.  

Please buy it immediately.

### 5/5 — Dream App

*2019-03-26*

You can set this app up to train you on verbs in simple or complex ways. It can be as straightforward or as tricky as you want! 

It takes a little time to learn to set up, but a few months in I felt confident with all irregular verbs and also the literary tenses they tell you never appear. Sorry! I have found the Subjunctive Imperfect in Harry Potter and recognized it because of what I learned with this app.

### 5/5 — Buy this

*2014-02-10, version 4.1.18*

I have been starting each french study session by picking a verb and blatting through the conjugations (on paper). I realised though that the problem is once I've picked the verbe I follow a kind of pattern and one conjugaision clues me for the next.  Real conversations don't consist of series of the same verb conjugated different ways, so why do drills that way?  This is where this app is mint - it busts you out of the rut.  It's difficult to begin with (the conjugaisons I mean, not using the app) but that means getting better.  I hope!

3 bucks, comon - it's less than the price of a coffee.

### 5/5 — Wonderful!

*2009-11-17*

Great app! This is a must have for anyone studying French. This is exactly what I needed! Thank you!!!

### 5/5 — love it

*2009-09-30*

this app is great super helpful

### 5/5 — Really useful

*2009-05-05*

Great studying tool. Very flexible in that you can study all tenses or study just the tense(s) you need to quiz youself on.

### 5/5 — Just what I was looking for

*2009-04-28*

Merci. Great app. The ability to select just certain tenses or types of verbs is great.
