If you could also put on here a table for all 5 noun declensions, that would also be very helpful. Other than that this app is a quick and convenient way to get a definition, and if you are proficient with Latin you should be able to conjugate on your own. Also, the forms of irregular verbs should be added. ### 3/5 — Pretty good *2010-04-05* This is a nice dictionary to have for improving vocabulary and overall it's not that bad, but it would be great if there were a Pro Latin Dictionary with semantics, macrons, parts of speech, conjugations, phonetics, headwords in blue, vulgar and modern Latin, and sample sentences. Some definitions are incorrect, e.g. ''earthquake'' turns out ''terrae'' when it should be ''terrae motus.'' Also please add Japanese, Russian, Greek and other languages. Keep up the good work. ### 2/5 — Ok dictionary but it's not enough! *2009-09-24* If your looking for a basic latin to English dictionary then this is a good app, but it needs to include the conjugations and declintions. The conjugations and declintions are so important in Latin that this app will not be very helpful until it includes them. ### 2/5 — not worthy *2009-07-08* not able to search a word with its declantion or conjugation, nothing of indicating the declantions and else at all. expensive and vain ### 3/5 — Mixed feelings *2009-04-03* I really like the idea of this app and it does work, but it seems that there are many quite common words that are missing. If you search in the latin-to-english translator for a verb, you may not find it, due to missing conjugations in the dictionary. I have a church choir background and am interested in the meaning of the latin words we sing. Pacem, I believe, is a conjugation of pax (meaning peace), and yet I can't find pacem by searching. I can find pax, but not pacem. Overall it is a great idea and the app is well designed - I just think it needs a bigger database with more words and more conjugations so you don't have to figure out the root of the word before searching. At this point, I'm not sure that it is really worth $14.99. I still like what I can do with the app and look forward to updates. ### 2/5 — NEEDS conjugation charts, *2009-04-02* Conjugation (1, 2, 3, & 4) for verbs , declension (1-5)...macrons..don't care too mig about those. Get some irregular verb charts in there as well. Pretty good with phrases and vocab, though..so +1 star. Give us our money's worth! ### 3/5 — Verb forms, please! *2008-09-06* I agree that this application needs the conjugations all the other Ultralingua dictionaries offer. Very disappointing! ### 3/5 — Ansich ganz gut, aber... *2008-09-05* ... Leider viel zu wenig Einträge! Kann nur wenig übersetzen! Naja ich hoffe auf ein Update mit mehr Einträgen! Dann ist auch der Preis gerechtfertigt... Also erst mal nur 3* MfG Le0! ### 2/5 — Not as great as other Ultralingua dictionaries! *2008-08-30* I was initially excited to see a Latin dictionary on IPhone, but ended up dissapointed. I own two other Ultralingua dictionaries (Italian and French) and am satisfied with those. I expected that this dictionary would come with the conjugation as others that I have bought, but unfortunately it does not. The conjugation on verbs and additional noun declensions would be a great addition to this app. Without those features, I find it hard to justify the money that I spent and thus the 2 stars rating. Once they have implemented the features, I will upgrade the review. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — I seem to have destroyed the app by changing font *2022-10-02* I picked the Helvética font and it crashed, and now it crashes when it starts too. I’m not sure how to fix it. I paid money for this app 😐 ### 1/5 — Disappointed, *2018-06-11* Could not even find the word They in this dictionary, let alone a translation. ### 1/5 — No verb conjugations! *2012-03-09* A pretty pointless Latin app as it only shows tables of verb conjugations in English, which unless you're a native Latin speaker trying to learn English is not very helpful. Considering it was so expensive I was extremely disappointed. ### 1/5 — Useless *2012-03-05* This dictionary is virtually useless. Clearly 3/4 of all Latin spoken is ecclesiastical Latin, and this dictionary is no help with even the most basic of Latin words. Ultralingua needs todo a much better job. ### 1/5 — Do not buy this rubbish *2011-03-16* I wasted my money on this. Whatever happened to truth in advertising? No conjugation, inaccurate 'manual' for want of a better word. The free aps are just as good. ### 1/5 — Extremely Disappointed *2010-01-23* I very much wish I could get my money back. I obviously should have read the description more thoroughly before spending $15 on such a useless app. I thought it would be like other ultralingua dictionaries and actually conjugate verbs. And, the description did say that the program would recognize inflected verbs, which was a lie! DO NOT waste your money! ### 1/5 — I should have listened to the last review! *2009-07-17* No better than the cheaper ones (which as also useless) will just have to carry my laptop and use Whitakers words which is superb (and free!) Avoid this piece of rubbish! ### 1/5 — Dire - Avoid If Possible *2009-02-18* This is an awful product, I would say 9/10 times I enter a Latin or English word or phrase it shows "No Entries Found", which is very frustrating, when I can usually find them in one of the very cheap alternative Latin dictionaries available in the App store. It is far, far to expensive for what you get ( or don't get I should say). If you want a Latin dictionary or primer get one of the very cheap alternatives, they might not look so fancy, but they are much better. I would give it no stars if it were possible. ### 2/5 — Pas top *2014-08-29* Pas de détails ni déclinaisons, l'interface n'est pas si top que ça. ### 2/5 — Ultralingua, where's the consistency? *2011-06-01* I have several other Ultralingua apps that I find very useful. That having been said, why isn't this app formatted like those? No conjugations? I know Latin is a "dead" language, but there is still a lot to be learned from studying it. Conjugations would greatly help give this app another star or two, as well as help its users get more from it. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — good *2024-08-04* precise ### 5/5 — Very helpful *2016-11-07* I really like this app. I cannot pretend to any great expertise in Latin dictionaries. But I like this one because it identifies words if you give any of the many forms of the word. Latin, of course, has endings which can multiply the forms to a bewildering number. And sometimes there are forms that are just unrecognizable by a humble student such as myself. I recently, for example came across the term "lautus erit" in Familia Romana chapter XXX. I could not figure it out. But this app got me to the future perfect passive form of the term for wash. I had puzzled over that for days before I finally broke down and consulted this app. It got me there in moments. So I recommend it. ### 5/5 — Fantastic upgrade! *2013-05-30* I just upgraded my Ultralingua Latin app, and I am blown away! This is wonderful. Easy to read, comprehensive, informative, showing word history (roots and origins in earlier languages), complete and accessible complete conjugations. I am really impressed. Thanks so much. LatinMom ### 5/5 — VERY POOR DICTIONARY :( *2011-04-18* Just the basic basic words. Almost useless. ### 5/5 — Great!!! *2011-01-29* Very handy dictionary. ### 5/5 — Fort utile ... *2008-09-07* ... Cependant on peut regretter l'absence d'un outil de traduction latin - français !!! ### 4/5 — App crashes so many times *2013-12-11* App it self is pretty good. The main problem is that it crashed each time certain entries are made. E.g. Latin to English: disp and English to Latin: tes. I cannot completely enter the word as the app crashes. At some points it also crashes when being scrolled down or up. ### 4/5 — Taedium technologiae. *2010-04-11* Gratias, sed piget tarditas auctorium. Hilarem non facit verbum selectum in telephoni scrinium fenestram caecam. ### 4/5 — Commode *2009-01-13* Il s'agit d'un dictionnaire latin-anglais, et anglais-latin, qui permet de trouver ou retrouver le sens principal d'un terme, mais pas davantage. Aucune recherche approfondie n'est possible. Cependant, l'application est bien conçue: les mots des définitions sont cliquables, les précédentes recherches gardées en mémoire. Bref, c'est pratique quand on n'a rien d'autre sous la main. Mais on peut envisager meilleur dictionnaire. ### 3/5 — Low quality info, great logistics *2013-11-12* Logistically this is a great app just like Ultralingua's other apps. As far as quality of information (amount and accuracy) this app needs a lot of work though. I am disappointed at the lack of accuracy in the translations for some words and at the fact that when I look up a noun or verb I do not see declension number or principle parts. Please update, I trust Ultralingua's apps to be of high quality. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
