Not actually Latin
A large proportion of the words taught in this app are not actually Latin at all. A great many are just the English words repeated. (Sorry, “Burger” is not the Latin word for burger and the ancient Romans did not have airports!) Please don’t use this to learn Latin, you will be learning gibberish.
This app is a scam
If I could get my money back. Why would you pay for the app then pay again and again for every little thing . Don’t get this app
Ok
I think this app would be much better if it was free, and even if it’s still the same price for pro, I wish the free version had more things; like more verbs and nouns. Also, the audio sometimes doesn’t work, however I won’t blame them because it might be my phone. My point is that it needs to be more useful for free. Also, I actually rate it 3.5/5, but I can’t.

This is NOT Latin
I’m a Latin teacher with a PhD in Classics, and I can tell you that the language supposedly taught in this app IS NOT LATIN.
Many of the words aren’t translated at all—the translation given for grapefruit is just “grapefruit.” There is no Latin word for grapefruit because the Romans didn’t have grapefruits. They also didn’t have bowties, anti-fungal foot powder, or half of the nonsense included in this app.
Even when a word *is* translated, the translation is usually wrong. Bank (as in a place to store money) is translated ripa, which means the bank of a stream or river. Airplane (which the Romans didn’t have) is translated vivamus, which means “let’s live.” And avocado is translated avjyoyu, which is just gibberish. There is no letter J in Latin, and Y is never a consonant.
As best I can tell, the creators of this app just ripped vocab from Quizlet without verifying any of it, because you can find many of the same garbage translations (including avjyoyu) in sets there.
Avoid this one like the plague, or better yet, download it and leave a 1 star review so that the rating will more accurately reflect how horrible this app is.

The Latin is ok
I took Latin in high school and most Latin on here is different from how I learned it and not really my style but most of it is the same
