### 4/5 — Excellent!

*2018-01-16*

The performance of this application will be highly appreciated.
Especially for it’s detailed inflection table which is useful and indispensable.

### 3/5 — 根本就是个离线版的维基词典

*2017-12-29*

不值得花12块买…去维基词典查就好了。而且只能拉英，不能英拉。没什么亮点。略显粗糙了。

### 4/5 — Great App for the Price

*2017-12-09*

This is a good Latin-English dictionary app based on the corresponding Wiktionary content. The great thing is that it gives complete conjugations of verbs and declensions of nouns, pronouns and adjectives. It makes full use of macrons to indicate vowel length. It often gives useful additional material such as etymology, usage examples, related words in Latin,  and descendant words in other languages.
It has now been upgraded to run on iOS11; hopefully the previous problem with intermittent freezes requiring reinstallation of the app will be a thing of the past. The interface has been significantly improved with handy controls over font and font size, and importantly, a useful new Deep Search function which finds all headwords beginning with the search string.
The only caveat is that there are some errors in the Wiktionary source material, so it is wise to be alert.

### 2/5 — Majorly flawed

*2016-06-27, version 1.1*

This app is great and as a student of Classical Latin I enjoy having this app but whenever I open it Te screen freezes and I cannot access the dictionary. I love the app when it works but overall was a waste of money.

### 4/5 — Love this app but..

*2016-04-08, version 1.1*

I love this app but there needs to be an update so the app isn't so small on like the iPhone 5s. If that was to be updated and fixed I would so give 5 stars!!!

### 3/5 — No better than okay

*2015-09-01, version 1.1*

Like that it downloads locally, but no "stare" or "decisis" listing?  Hard to believe.

### 3/5 — Good

*2015-08-16, version 1.1*

The only thing I would change is different colors so I could read it better. Other than that, it helps a lot with  a synopsis and stuff of that nature. it has been crashing often though. I would not buy it, if you haven't already. Google translate is pretty good if you are just looking up words.

### 4/5 — Very good but could be better

*2015-07-21, version 1.1*

I am a beginner student of latin and wanted a latin dictionary that worked offline and was simple but not lacking and that is exactly what I got. It is reliable and hasn't been wholly lacking in most words I've searched. The primary problems I've seen is that, when searching, it almost always requires you to search a word from a particular declension or will not find it rather than the alternative of being able to predict what the word is you want. Also the fact results aren't shown as you type is mildly annoying. Overall very useful for beginner students such as myself and could be more so with minimal effort put into it. (Highly recommended for beginners; all others should keep looking)

### 4/5 — Great buy for $0.99!

*2015-03-18, version 1.1*

This app offers a lot for $0.99. Only wish I could search using an English term. Then it would be 5 stars.

### 2/5 — it doesn't work

*2015-03-04*

le keyboard ne fonctionne presque toujours pas.

### 3/5 — Decent, but could have more

*2014-11-12, version 1.1*

This app is just a dictionary used for looking up words that are not declined or conjugated. The words need to be in their original state in order for this app to fin them. Example: the app does not know what the word Feminae is, but knows what the word Femina is. This app is only helpful in looking up words in their non declined/conjugated state. However, once you find a word in that state, then it is helpful in the fact that it gives you a lot of detailed information as stated in the other reviews.

## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated)

### 1/5 — I can’t use this app after updating iOS 11.

*2017-10-13*

I can’t use this app after updating iOS 11.

### 1/5 — Not what I was expecting

*2016-09-10, version 1.1*

Just a search bar that couldn't define simple words

### 1/5 — Well, is my usage too rare

*2016-05-13, version 1.1*

I bought this to look up the spell Expecto Patronum, but none of the two words found. Is my spell too professional? But this app isn't free so it's expected to be more or less powerful.

### 1/5 — Promised much delivered little

*2016-04-06, version 1.1*

After a few uses, the app froze and haven't been able to use it. Contacted them, they were aware of the issue but it seems they haven't done anything about it. Need I say more?

### 1/5 — Can't Type

*2016-02-25, version 1.1*

This app is great but with the most recent update I can no longer type in the search bar for whatever reason. Please fix this bug! Otherwise I love this app and very strongly recommend it, as it offers so much detailed information for each word!

### 1/5 — Weak.

*2014-10-23, version 1.1*

I purchased this app to better understand the Latin translations for all the botanical names I need to learn.
I took several years of Latin in school & know that various forms of a word will affect  search - but even with the variety of  searches I found this app has barely  any of those words i need to know

### 1/5 — Wiktionary

*2014-10-11, version 1.1*

Hopeless. Doesn't include all the inflections and parts of words, as the free web version does, only nominative singular/present indicative 1st singular. I resent my 69p.

### 1/5 — Errors all over the place

*2014-10-06, version 1.1*

For such a price, it's a good dictionary, very convenient. But we need to be careful when using it. I found a mistake in it just the second day after I bought it. 

After using it for a while, I found many more errors! It's unacceptable for a dictionary.

### 1/5 — Incomplete app

*2014-05-15, version 1.1*

The lexicon is highly lacking of general terms. Don't buy this app!

### 1/5 — BAD

*2013-12-16, version 1.1*

MISSING MANY COMMON WORDS AND DOESNT RECOGNIZE DECLINED WORDS. I WANT MY MONEY BACK

## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated)

### 5/5 — please have intereset of this app

*2026-03-16*

please update this app

### 5/5 — Must have app

*2020-08-23, version 1.2*

If you are a fan or student of Latin, then this is a must have dictionary app. Provides declension of nouns and conjugations of verbs. Deep Search allows searching for the dictionary entry based on a variation of the verb or noun.

### 5/5 — Great, no better app for searching detailed

*2018-11-06*

Especially about etymology and descendent words about certain Latin words! 

Please update for iOS 12. Need Divided-pane view to take notes. 

Great work! Appreciate it!

### 5/5 — Worth it!

*2018-03-01*

难得有好用的拉丁语学习辅助工具，鼓励支持！至于价格只能说算情怀价，当作献爱心吧。

### 5/5 — Use “Deep Search” function to find the meaning in any declension or conjugation

*2018-01-30, version 1.2*

This App is so powerful! When using “Deep Search” function (not “search” function), you can find the meaning of a word in any declension or conjugation!

### 5/5 — Problems recently (2015)

*2017-12-06, version 1.2*

This is the most useful Latin app I have found. Excellent content and usability. This update fixed all problems with recent iOS compatibility. Thanks!

### 5/5 — 好！

*2015-07-15*

很好，为什么不继续更新了呢！要适应大屏幕啊！

### 5/5 — good app！

*2015-03-13, version 1.1*

the only part needs to change is that it should suit for iphone 5 ，5s ，5c or 6
 and 6plus

### 5/5 — Q

*2015-02-03*

Keyboard doesn't work after iOS update

### 5/5 — Love it

*2014-09-15, version 1.1*

Sorry if you wanted a helpful review.  I just love words, and this app gives great access to Latin roots.
