Great! But important to note:
I feel that this app, while great for revising, is not to be used by absolute beginners with no knowledge. It’s fantastic in the way that it reinforces and allows you to practice your skills, but it does not explain them. This must come from somewhere else. As of writing this, I am a first semester first year Latin student, and it’s perfect for me. If I wasn’t some weeks into my course however, I would struggle. So in all, it’s a great companion, not a teacher.

odd layout
Good app, but the way it lays out noun declensions etc is not standard.
Excellent app!
I love this app. I slept on it, keeping it in my app drawer for a long time. Dug it out and decided to toy with it and I’m so glad I did. It’s got several features for vocabulary, grammar, and much more! I also love how you can select your course based on works in Latin, so, say you want to learn the words and grammar necessary to read Virgil, you can focus on just that. If you’re learning Latin, give it a spin.

Good app but hate Latin
It asked me if I liked Latin when it asked for a review so I gave it one star, however if it asked me if I liked the app I would have given it 5. Latin is the worst class I‘ve ever taken. Miss M ruined my 4.0.
Optime!
Amazing app, totally worth it. Reviews everything well and completely. A+
Great Drills!
Either you know it or you don’t! Nouns, verbs, adjectives, and vocabulary are all there. Card set for CLC vocab sets would be nice. I use this app a lot! Thank You.
Great app
👍👍👍👍👍
helpful and a bit addictive!
Once I realized this was a revision tool and not a 'teach yourself' app, and learned my way around it, I've found it the perfect way to encourage me to memorize those noun and verb endings.
University Course
This App is really helpful. Especially the Deklination/Conjugation exercises are worth the money. I just couldn’t find the exercise for Pronomina if there are any.
Testing through repetition
This app has promise, however, it doesn’t test on words learned in previous levels. Setting it to level 50 (e.g.) should test you on the ten words at that level but also throw in some older ones to ensure you still remember them. Instead, you must manually work through all the levels again. There are a lot of words but it is frustrating to be limited to 10 at a time.

Great help
Very good program to study Latin.
Uses macrons
Decent practice app for recognizing the various paradigms. I know the paradigms but feel I can't use them as well as I should. I'm hoping this will help. Just started but already like what I see.
Good for testing vocabulary and declensions
Invaluable asset for quick revision. Great as a follow up after a text book chapter. I never expected to find such a resource I’m so pleased you have produced this. Thank you so much.
Love this app
I do this like others would do video games. It is an easy way to learn Latin.
Love it
This and its Greek counterpart are my two favorites..
Big Nice
Really good for studying AP Latin. Great structure in that it is based off of Latin literature.
Serious limitations & counter-intuitive
This app is only good for vocabulary, with the proviso that the total number of words is about 2,400, whereas you’d really need about 8,000 to read Latin like the newspapers. The selections strike me as arbitrary: the only vegetable is celery, the only silverware is spoon, no items of clothing whatsoever, no food of any kind except apple and the aforesaid celery, no beverages, no trades and professions except carpenter and actor, no seasons, no weather, and only a handful of animal species. And way too many words about warfare. Once the software had been developed, how difficult could it have been to load up a few more thousand words?
However, the biggest problem with this app is that the way to learn cases and declensions is counter-intuitive. For example, you’re given an infinitive and then you’re told to pick, say, “3rd pl perf subj pass” out of four verb forms. Or “fut pass neut voc sing” with participles. That doesn’t give you a feel for the language—you’re spending half your time just trying to decipher the code. Much better to give us something like “they should have been called,” which you then can get really quick at picking in Latin. I wrote about this to the developers, and they responded that it would be too difficult to do it like that, and that the app works fine as it is anyhow. I beg to differ, and I’m deducting an extra star for the apparent disinclination to take reasonable feedback to heart.

Fantastic app
For those of you looking to have an outstanding resource for all your Latin needs, this is the app for you! Not only do you have the best reference for all your grammar paradigms, but you also have a way to test yourself on them. This is my one-stop shop for polishing up on my declensions and conjugations. This app is well worth the price and many time more.

Great for memorizing
It let’s you memorize all the different inflected parts of speech and a ton of vocabulary by having you choose a correct answer out of four options. Would recommend for someone studying Latin.
Love it
I find the verb practice to be particularly helpful, though I wish the vocabulary was cumulative
