within entry search
With Scriba, developer Dominique Cadiet has rendered Latinists and Latin students an indispensable and incredibly affordable resource. The only feature it needs for perfection would be a “control key + f”-type find function within entries. I would love to be able, with an entry for a given lemma to be able to search for specific terms. For example, I’m reading the odes of Horace, who characteristically deploys words in their less common senses. The ability to search with a word entry the authorship abbreviation “Hor.” would greatly facilitate my first readings through Horace. This of course is but one small example of how a within-entry find function would enhance this wonderful app.

Works until it doesn’t
I primarily use this to look up particular forms to check quickly, but that function has stopped working.
Sufficiently excellent since inception
Thank you also for returning declensions to the way of Aelius Donatus (NGDAAL). Still not entirely sure when the ‘i’ became a ‘j’ (pos. one of those ‘make it easier for the kids’ things? … not going to discuss this in here), but then, I am old and started studying Latin in the 70s.
Excellent app
In an earlier review, I complained about how I didn’t see any improvements in the update, and how it introduced an annoying issue. It hasn’t even been a week since then and the issue has been fixed. I’d like to thank the devs for being so responsive, I’ll continue using this app for years to come.
Good app, bad update
I’ve been using this app for a long time and up until the 2.5 update I’ve had nothing but love for this app, but the changes the 2.5 update made to the UI make it slightly less convenient to use, and pecu doesn’t have a declension table.
My biggest complaint however, is that I can no longer open an entry by tapping on the word’s line, I have to tap on the word itself, meaning I can no longer open words by tapping the right side of the screen with my right thumb like I’m used to.
I have seen no improvement with this new update, only a few minor annoyances added. I hope the next update addresses my complaints.
