What's New in Lingua Sacra

2.4.2

September 26, 2026

Version 2.4.2 • Settings are regrouped so the choices you make are easier to find. • You can report a problem with any exercise, or answer "I don't know" instead of guessing. • Progress saves more reliably: reviews are saved before you move on, and interrupted saves are retried. • Sign in with Apple and Google is more dependable, and password reset works again. • Paradigm tables play 1,415 newly recorded forms and stay readable at large text sizes. • Audio clips that were cut short have been re-recorded, and Latin stress is more accurate. • Headers and section labels stay whole at the largest accessibility text sizes. • Greek phrases such as Kyrie, eleison are labelled as Greek, and dictation and answer checking are fairer. • More than 140 fixes from a full review: streaks and daily quests now count every kind of study, the liturgical calendar and Sunday readings are corrected, quizzes and results screens no longer get stuck, and several Latin notes are corrected. • Home Screen quick actions (touch and hold the app icon) now work. Ad maiorem Dei gloriam.

User reviews

Very good app

It has effective techniques

Great app with some bugs

The app is great and has really improved my Latin. That said, the app has trouble saving my progress at times, and I’ve been forced to delete it and reinstall on an almost daily basis. Frustrating. Hope that this can be addressed.

Response from developer

I'm very glad you like the app. I also apologize for the bugs. I work alone in my spare time (I'm a Catholic priest) to develop and maintain the app. I appreciate your patience as I continue to address the issues and make the user experience better.

Exceeded expectations!

The creators of this app have clearly taken advantage of many of the best pedagogical tools for app-based learning. This is a remarkable tool and I couldn’t be happier with my lifetime purchase.

Great app

Really great, could use some polish. Sometimes the pronounciation doesn’t play the whole phrase

Response from developer

Hi, thanks for your review. We are currently working on polishing the app and fixing the pronunciation issue you raised. Thank you for your feedback and patience.

Great App

Really great for getting into understanding the universal language of the Church!
