Every verb ships an example sentence, most of them drawn from published German writing.

Deep Etymologies

Trace each verb to its roots, nearly all the way to Proto-Indo-European, with cognates from English, Latin, Greek, Gothic, and Old Norse. Browse seven ways: strong, weak, mixed, -ieren, separable, inseparable, and by ablaut group.

Conjugate with confidence. Learn German verbs the right way.

A PERSONAL TRIBUTE

Konjugieren was created by Josh Adams as a tribute to his grandfather, Clifford August Schmiesing (1904–1944).

Cliff was born in Minster, Ohio, a town where German was the language of daily life. All four of his grandparents had immigrated from Germany, and he grew up steeped in that heritage, attending public schools taught by German-speaking nuns. He became a doctor, specializing in obstetrics.

When America entered World War II, Cliff served as an Army doctor, treating soldiers wounded in North Africa, Sicily, and Southern Italy. He died in Oran, Algeria, on January 21, 1944. Josh's mother, Ryan, was just fourteen months old.

Though Ryan never truly knew her father, Cliff's love for his family has echoed through the generations. Konjugieren honors Cliff and the language he and his ancestors spoke: German.

## Version history (last 4 releases)

### 1.3 — 2026-08-18

Konjugieren's corpus grows from 990 verbs to 3,572. The expansion adds the strong verbs the first corpus was missing and 2,303 prefixed derivatives, so the verbs you actually meet in German are now the ones the app conjugates: not just kommen but ankommen, entkommen, unterkommen, and zuvorkommen.

Every one of those 3,572 verbs now ships an etymology and an example sentence, where before only 990 did. Most sentences come from real German: Luther's Bible, the Brothers Grimm, Goethe, Kafka, Mann, Nietzsche, the Grundgesetz, and Bundestag proceedings. The etymologies trace nearly every verb back to Proto-Indo-European, with cognates in English, Latin, Greek, Gothic, and Old Norse.

German is pluricentric, and Konjugieren now says so. A new Regional Variety setting offers the northern German, Austrian, and Swiss standards, seeded from your device's region on first launch. In Swiss German, ss appears in place of ß. Stehen, sitzen, and liegen feature sein as their auxiliary for the southern varieties, contrasting with northern German. The quiz accepts a correct answer in any variety. A new Duden article introduces the dictionary that supplies those labels.

Forty-four verbs have two distinct meanings, with different conjugations for each. Hängen is strong when a picture hangs on the wall and weak when you hang it there. Abbrechen takes haben when you cancel something and sein when something snaps off. These verbs now let you switch between readings, and each reading gets its own conjugation table.

Corrections and fixes: a full review of the corpus revised 220 English translations and 121 example sentences. Home Screen and Lock Screen widgets now advance at midnight without launching the app, and their text is localized into German. The game no longer damages the player every frame during contact, fires at the same rate on ProMotion displays as on any other, and reflows when you rotate the device instead of guessing at orientation. Deeplinks to an article or a verb family switch to the right tab. VoiceOver announces quiz results in German. Settings gains a version footer.

### 1.2 — 2026-06-18

Following 1.1's redesign, version 1.2 brings a second polish pass across the app. Typography is tighter, micro-interactions for correct and incorrect quiz answers are refined, and iPad layouts now fill the screen instead of crowding the center.

The on-device Apple Intelligence Conjugation Tutor is retuned for users running the app in German. Grammar terminology aligns with the app's German conventions throughout, refusal copy is localized for off-topic questions, and a new explanatory row appears when Apple Intelligence isn't available on your device.

Version 1.2 also adds the Rückumlaut weak verbs: bringen / brachte, denken / dachte, kennen / kannte, brennen / brannte, senden / sandte, which have historically anomalous past-tense conjugations that trip up native and non-native speakers alike.

Bug fixes: the German flag emoji now renders correctly on iOS 26, a rare quiz crash on the dot-row indicator is resolved, an iPad navigation race condition no longer interrupts info browsing, and the bratwurst alternate icon's Settings thumbnail is sharper.

### 1.1 — 2026-04-02

The Quiz, Settings, Verb Detail, Verb List, Family Detail, Info, Tutor, Results, and Onboarding screens have been redesigned with card framing, improved typography, better spatial composition, and micro-interactions for correct and incorrect answers.

A new alternate app icon featuring a bratwurst is available in Settings alongside the existing hat, pretzel, and Bundestag options.

Two new verbs bring the total to 990: besingen (celebrate in song) and konjugieren (conjugate).

### 1.0 — 2026-03-13
