### 1/5 — Its ok at best

*2025-11-09*

Not what I excepted. The way the questions are worded could also be better

### 5/5 — Fun for learning Latin

*2023-06-12*

My 7 year old and I enjoy playing together

### 3/5 — Meh

*2020-12-30*

Not really for adults. It’s very easy. I just finished the whole game in like 15-20 minutes. Although, I did learn some things I didn’t know before. Not sure it’s worth the two bucks if you’re older and looking to deepen your understanding of words. It’s probably good for younger students though.

### 5/5 — The best app in the world

*2020-08-14*

Too good

### 5/5 — Useful

*2020-07-21*

We love this app. It makes learning Greek and Latin so easy.

### 5/5 — Pretty great for my 9yo!

*2018-05-29*

Colorful, fast-paced and easy. Worth the $.

### 5/5 — Great app

*2017-10-28*

Very nice start.

### 5/5 — 😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁

And 😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎

### 4/5 — Fun but needs more content

*2017-08-04*

This app is fun to use; it's sound and animation responses are encouraging and make sense. The difficulty curve is approachable and doesn't feel punishing when you make mistakes. 

It is missing a lot of roots, though, which makes it impractical for older kids and adults. This app would be a 5/5 and I'd recommend it to the moon and back if it had a difficulty setting other than jumping levels or if it added more levels. I'd happily buy more levels if I knew they included roots relevant to older kids and adults. As it is, it's a great intro to root words but not the best overall study tool.

### 5/5 — Great!

*2016-11-21*

Is quick and reflects progress back quickly.
