### 3/5 — Great concept/design - too many bugs

*2022-03-02, version 5.3*

Love this app. It’s my favorite of all verb apps for Spanish. The only issue for me are the bugs! I even paid for the upgraded version in order to bookmark and repeat words to study. It’s frustrating though that when I look up a word, it will quit the app suddenly. Closing and reopening it doesn’t seem to work, so essentially there are portions of the app/certain words and information I can’t access. (I.e. scrolling down through all conjugations of “venir”)

### 2/5 — Crashes

*2021-12-30, version 5.3*

After upgrading to the full version, it keeps crashing.

### 3/5 — Comprehensive but....

*2017-08-24, version 5.2.1*

For some reason the app is over a gigabyte! That is a humungous size for what is in there!!

### 3/5 — Bookmark Feature

*2017-07-25, version 5.2.1*

A very helpful App, but the Bookmark feature needs some serious repair! 

Is there a plan to fix it?

### 4/5 — Best app I have found for practicing Spanish verbs

*2016-11-22, version 5.2.1*

I was looking for an app that would help me to learn and drill Spanish verb conjugations and of the five or so I tried this is by far the best.  It  is a simple but very effective tool for drilling verb conjugations and allows me to study by tense, verb type and from a list of my own bookmarked verbs.  My only criticism is that I can only create one bookmarked word list as it would be handy to create multiple custom word lists to study from.

### 3/5 — This app is HUGE

*2016-10-19, version 5.2.1*

Great app. I just wish the developer could condense the size somehow. 1.05GB takes up a ton of space on my device.

### 3/5 — Upgrade does not work!

*2016-10-07, version 5.2.1*

I paid for the upgrade but it doesn't work! When I try to contact customer service it wouldn't even take my email!

### 3/5 — updated but bookmarks and trainer does not work

*2016-08-16, version 5.2.1*

Maybe I got ripped off.

### 1/5 — Stuck

*2016-07-14, version 5.2*

App won't update and I can't delete it. Help!!

### 2/5 — Problems with the app

*2016-07-01, version 5.0.13*

The app doesn't work

### 1/5 — Verb Trainee

*2016-05-20, version 5.0.13*

The old app was so useful. They updated it and now it doesn't work.  A real shame because it used to help me a lot.

### 1/5 — Awful!!! Don't load to device!

*2016-05-02, version 4.1*

The app will not update & you perpetually have the app notification that it needs to be updated. It freezes in the middle of loading update.  I've tried to figure out how to get it off my device completely, but no luck.

### 1/5 — Frequent crashing

*2016-04-11, version 5.0.13*

The older version was superb but the recent update is so frustrating to use as it crashes frequently, particularly when using the common irregular verbs section in the quiz format.
I do hope they fix this problem quickly for what was previously an excellent app.

### 4/5 — Great for a learner

*2016-03-05, version 5.0.13*

I use this app all the time to double check my sentences and increase my dialogue complexity. Lots of common words.  I've found a few I wish they had, but this has been great to learn with. I generally don't use the quiz feature, just the verb conjugations. I finally upgraded to the paid version, but don't think I've used any of the paid features yet.

### 1/5 — Ditto....

*2016-02-27, version 5.0.13*

...what others say: Crashes not occasionally but every time the bookmarked word trainer is used.  No response from support.  Keep wishing because it could be a really great tool...IF the creators would respond and address their problem.

### 1/5 — Keeps Crashing

*2016-02-24, version 5.0.13*

This is a wonderful app, but it crashes EVERY time you use the Quiz, whether on old iPad or newest iPhone.  Basically unusable.

### 1/5 — Love it BUT

*2016-01-29, version 5.0.13*

This is a perfect app for learning and practicing Spanish verbs- BUT- it keeps cutting off and shutting down randomly :(

## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated)

### 1/5 — Crashes

*2024-10-30, version 5.4.1*

Very disappointed, just paid 6.99 for an apps that crashes everytime

### 1/5 — not worth it

*2023-10-23, version 5.4.1*

as a student i was forced to download this, the app is not useful nor is needed it’s not worth it as the app also has bugs one EX is sounds not playing, words not including key use ext. all in all i’m still going to have to use it but it’s not necessary.

### 1/5 — Takes a long time to Open, then shuts down in 30 seconds

*2022-11-09, version 5.4.1*

I bought this app a long time ago, and it worked great. It did everything I needed it to do. 

Then they made me rebuy it. I bought it again because it had served me well in the past - still
Irritating that I had to pay again, but whatever…

Now it takes a minute to open, and then as soon as I search a conjugation in the Dictionary, I have 30 seconds or less to find my conjugation before it simply shuts down. 

I deleted it and reloaded it, but it still behaves the same. 

Absolutely useless now. A real disappointment from something I liked before. Garbage and a waste, rally - shame to lose a customer like me who liked it so much and recommended it to friends who asked me for a good Spanish verb conjugation app.

### 1/5 — APP DOESN’T CHANGE W/PAID ACCT

*2021-10-25, version 5.3*

I paid to upgrade my account, and when I went to log in, it sent me back to Upgrade again..So it’s an endless loop. They have my 4.99, and I’m back to the free version. :/

### 1/5 — Paid for the upgrade - no upgrade

*2021-03-05, version 5.2.1*

Paid for the upgraded version but the app keep asking for the payment. Apple refused to issue a refund. I paid for something I did t get.

### 1/5 — No funciona

*2020-01-31, version 5.2.1*

No pierdan su tiempo, no sirve. // It does not work. Don’t waste your time.

### 1/5 — Incorrect tenses

*2019-08-06, version 5.2.1*

In the verb trainer test your conjugations are incorrect this is not good enough people are learning the wrong conjugations, I loved this app it’s great practice but only if your not learning the right conjugations.

### 1/5 — storage

*2018-11-24, version 5.2.1*

does it take storage up to 1.1 gb? is this a joke?

### 1/5 — Crashes constantly

*2018-03-07, version 5.2.1*

I have the lastest iphone software and this app continues to not work at all. I paid for the full version too. Total waste of time and money! No help offered. AVOID THIS

### 1/5 — Could be a 5 star - if it worked

*2016-12-28, version 5.2.1*

Great idea, but one of the worst executions I've ever seen. Bookmarks are totally screwed up, which the whole "trainer" functionality relies on.  I tried to work with support but they don't answer, at all, ever. Giant red flag. Avoid!
Apple should refund everyone who got scammed by this.

### 5/5 — More Disappointment

*2021-11-06, version 5.3*

11/06/21 Updating my Review: 
I noticed that the developers updated the app. However, people are saying in their reviews that the app is not up to par. Therefore, my review still stands, and I will not be downloading it until I see some very positive reviews. So here’s a little poem I wrote two years ago which was and is how I feel about what’s been going on:
I’m sad to say 
That many apps 
Have gone astray
I’ve spent my dough (300 apps)
I didn’t know
That they would go away
And now I’m left
With barely some 
In any case
I had so much fun 
Wish there was
A better way.

…

### 5/5 — Super

*2018-06-25, version 5.2.1*

Very good app for drilling verbs. Try the free version first. The time trial makes it fun to learn faster.

### 5/5 — Great Learning Tool

*2016-08-17, version 5.2.1*

I've been using this app for over a year and find it very helpful.  It provides quick information & practice opportunities for my verb struggles, lol.

### 5/5 — Really useful!

*2014-02-20, version 4.1*

I love the dictionary just to show how many cognates there are.  You can take quizzes to review and bookmark verbs that you are working on.  Love this app.  Not slow on the ipad.

### 5/5 — Tons of verbs! Thanks

It's so helpful!!
