## What is Verben?

If you're trying to lean German verb conjugations, Verben is the app for you!

Each German verb has 86 forms; you don't have to learn all of them, but you do have to learn many and you must be able to easily use at least the present tense and a few others.

Many students of German find that the way to learn verb conjugations is to drill themselves, over and over and over. Verben is the tool to do just that.

Using Verben is simple: touch the screen and a new drill appears - an infinitive selected randomly, a tense selected randomly and a person/number ("ich", "du", "er/sie/es", etc.) selected randomly. You say - out loud or in your mind - what you think the answer is and touch the screen again. The correct answer appears. If you want, you can also hear the correct answer at the same time. You can have Verben drill you on just one verb, or from a list of verbs you've created of from all verbs in Verben's database; there are over 500 German verbs in the app.

You can set Verben to drill you on a subset of the 500+ verbs in the app. How can you choose?
- Select one infinitive to drill yourself on;
- Select what tense or tenses to drill. Want to work on just Praësens tense: select that . Want to work on Praëens and Präteritum and futur? Select those and all drills presented will be only one of those three tenses;
- Want to drill on irregular verbs only? Select that.
- Want to drill only on first person singular verb forms (ich)? Select that.
- Want to drill on Präsens and Präteritum tenses only, first person plural only? Select those settings and all drills will be verbs in Präsens and Präteritum tense, first person plural. You can customize the drills to a fine level, and then apply those settings to a verb list you've created. You'll drill yourself on exactly what you need to drill yourself on.

- You can test yourself. See your improvement! Verben has three types of tests: timed, number of verbs, and a combination of both. you can selected how long you want the test or how many verbs you want the test to quiz you on. When the test is done, you'll see your score. You can save the test results, and see a history of all saved tests - proof that you're learning!

You create and save any number of verb lists. This allows you to study a small set of verbs as a unit. When you use a verb list, only the verbs from that list will be used for quizzing.

You can see a verb's complete conjugation from the main drill screen.

You can see the full conjugation of any verb in the app by selecting that verb in the Settings screen.
 
You can see a sample conjugation in English, showing how each tense is used.

Verben includes a small Help file. If you'd like to see a more complete "How-To" document, go to www.verbtrainers.com and click on the User Manual link in the left column.

You can contact the developer at support@verbtrainers.com. I answer every email I receive, usually within a day of receiving it.

### 5/5 — Deutsche Verben lernen

*2019-12-03*

A tremendous aid to learning and practising the conjugation of German verbs. If one encounters a problem, it is easy to communicate with the App creator, who responds promptly and is very helpful.

### 5/5 — Simple, Effective and Elegant

*2014-10-22*

This is a terrific mobile app for learning German verbs and their conjugation patterns. 

Built on a fairly comprehensive database of German verbs and their conjugation tables, this app offers the German language student a handy, simple to use tool for performing verb conjugation look-up's, and customizable flash card drills.

This app is a simple, effective and elegant tool for learning German verbs.

### 5/5 — Fantastic

*2012-08-11*

Really great app. I have played with a few of these in German and this one is now my Go To. I am really using it more now as I am coming up to A2-B1 level, and there are a serious number of verbs to keep track of. 

Like the fact that it is superfast to rotate - a simple tech feature but slowness in a flashcard system is seriously frustrating.

Excellent ability to manage custom lists from a long installed database - this is the crux of my use of the app, lots of sub-lists divided by whatever resources I am learning from at the time.

Overall an excellent addition to anyone's studies. You can't learn the language using these apps, but they make it very easy to utilize odd 10 or 20 minute slots of time and turn that into highly focused study / revision.

Only 1 quibble is they don't have the option to hide the German infinitive and make you conjugate the verb by using the English infinitive. When you think about it, this is the process you are normally using when trying to speak a foreign language (English - I swam into German ist geschwommen) so this would be a good enhancement for the app. 

I hope they add that in an update. But highly recommended anyway.

### 1/5 — Universal but displays only as iPhone app

*2011-10-23*

Very disappointed. The app states it is universal, but on the iPad only the first screen displays as universal, everything else (quiz, settings) are ONLY displayed as an iPhone app (i.e. not full screen). Unless you want an iPhone app, look elsewhere.

### 4/5 — Good verb quiz program

*2011-06-18*

This is a very good program if you are looking for something to help you practice your German verb conjugation. Beginning students are advised to uncheck many of the choices to avoid being overwhelmed. Much more useful now that conjugations are available for viewing. I use this program like a game when I am idle. It helps a lot. I would consider this more of an intermediate language app. It's a lot for beginners to take in.

### 5/5 — Verben is a fantastic app for learning German verbs

*2011-03-19*

I love this app.  It is highly customisable to suit what you want to focus on, easy to use, looks good.  The developer is very responsive to feedback.

### 2/5 — Just ok

*2011-02-14*

Unfortunately gives only a single answer for a given verb. Thus it asks for a particular form for e.g. simple past for third person singular. Doesn't give the entire declension for immediate review. Excellent word list however and is cheap and has potential.

### 5/5 — Ein ausgezeichnet App

*2010-02-20*

Simple, effective, available when you have a moment to study, Verben will help you learn your german verbs.  The developer is responsive and is improving an already excellent program.  To my knowledge, Verben is the best in its class.  I recommend it without hesitation.

### 3/5 — Good but still needs work

*2010-01-23*

Like Jim Morton, I was hoping for a simple conjugation lookup, and am glad to finally see it in the latest version (2.0.5). One bug I noticed in previous versions was as you go through the quiz, sometimes the screen would come up blank, just labels, no words. Two taps, and the next verb comes up fine. Also, I'm glad to finally see the latest version differentiate all the forms of sie/Sie, but it still gets it wrong, associating Sie with the du/ihr forms instead of the er/sie (plural) forms. I'm looking forward to seeing these fixed; the list and parts of speech of the verbs is exhaustive and the app is good overall.

### 5/5 — Fantastic!!

*2009-11-30*

Im a final year degree student and would like to say that this is a fantastic tool
