Conjugaid drills Arabic verb conjugation. It puts a verb and a form on screen โ€” past, present, jussive after ู„ูŽู…ู’ โ€” and you produce it, fully vowelled. Get it wrong and it names the rule you missed: a hollow root shortens before a consonant ending, so ู‚ูŽุงู„ูŽ is ู‚ูู„ู’ุชู and never ู‚ูŽูˆูŽู„ู’ุชู. 268 verbs across all ten forms, sixteen conjugations each, every weak root Arabic has. Modern Standard Arabic. No account, no sign-up, no network. It works on a plane. WHAT YOU PRACTISE All ten verb forms I to X, each with its pattern on the model root ู ุน ู„: ููŽุนูŽู„ูŽ, ููŽุนูŽู‘ู„ูŽ, ููŽุงุนูŽู„ูŽ, ุฃูŽูู’ุนูŽู„ูŽ, ุชูŽููŽุนูŽู‘ู„ูŽ, ุชูŽููŽุงุนูŽู„ูŽ, ุงูู†ู’ููŽุนูŽู„ูŽ, ุงููู’ุชูŽุนูŽู„ูŽ, ุงููู’ุนูŽู„ูŽู‘, ุงูุณู’ุชูŽูู’ุนูŽู„ูŽ. Narrow a round to one of them and drill it until it sits. Every weak root ุณุงู„ู…, ู…ู‡ู…ูˆุฒ, ู…ุถุนู‘ู, ู…ุซุงู„, ุฃุฌูˆู and ู†ุงู‚ุต. ู‚ูŽุงู„ูŽ becomes ู‚ูู„ู’ุชู, ูˆูŽุตูŽู„ูŽ becomes ูŠูŽุตูู„ู, ุฑูŽุฏูŽู‘ becomes ุฑูŽุฏูŽุฏู’ุชู, ุฏูŽุนูŽุง becomes ูŠูŽุฏู’ุนููˆ. These are the mistakes learners actually make, and they are what the filter is for. Sixteen forms per verb Eight core ones: the past in five persons and the present in three. Eight advanced ones: the dual, the feminine you, the subjunctive after ุฃู†ู’, the jussive after ู„ูŽู…ู’, both imperatives and the passive in both tenses. The vowel that is not in any rule Whether it is ูŠูŽูƒู’ุชูุจู, ูŠูŽุฌู’ู„ูุณู or ูŠูŽูู’ุชูŽุญู belongs to the word, not to the root. Every question shows the pattern next to the answer, so you learn the verb the way a dictionary states it. Forms that do not exist are never asked An intransitive verb has no passive. ูƒูุชูุจูŽ exists, ุฌูู„ูุณูŽ does not, and the app knows the difference. CHOOSE OR TYPE Answer by picking one of four options โ€” no Arabic keyboard needed โ€” or switch to typing if you have one. In choice mode, one wrong option is always the form you would get by treating the root as sound, or by picking the wrong present vowel. That is the mistake worth learning to spot. When you type, the vowel marks are optional: an unvowelled answer counts, and the feedback still shows the full vocalisation. WHAT COMES BACK Every wrong answer shows what you wrote, the correct fully vowelled form, and the rule behind it. The round ends with a list of exactly what to look at again, and the next round starts there. WHAT STICKS Every verb and every form has its own state: new, missed, learning, or solid after three correct answers in a row. A bar per verb in the list, a mark per form on its page โ€” so you can see what is left instead of guessing. THE VERB LIST A searchable table of all 268 verbs with every form, its root, its verb form and its root type โ€” the reference you reach for mid-sentence, not mid-lesson. Search in Arabic without vowel marks, or in your own language. EIGHT LANGUAGES English, German, French, Spanish, Turkish, Indonesian, Malay and Russian. Every verb meaning and every rule is written in all eight, not machine-swapped at runtime. WHAT IS FREE Form I with 152 verbs and the eight core forms โ€” no time limit, no ads, no account. All six root types are in there; the hard part of the language is not behind the purchase. One purchase adds the 116 verbs of forms II to X and the eight advanced forms. One time, not a subscription. PRIVACY Nothing leaves the device. No account, no analytics, no tracking. The app makes no network requests of its own; the only connection is Apple's purchase check. The conjugation tables are generated at build time from written-out rules and checked against standard paradigms. This is Modern Standard Arabic โ€” the Arabic of textbooks, news and classical texts. It is not a dialect course, it does not teach the alphabet, and it has no audio.

Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: PACE Group at none against Conjugaid's 1. PACE Group also leads on device support (3 vs 1) and iOS requirement (8.0 vs 17.0). On price and ads there is nothing between them.
