Please add bookmarks!

An excellent app, a whole Latin library with built-in dictionary (3 dictionaries, in fact), a grammar textbook etc. Very useful, very usable - except this one thing. It doesn’t have bookmarks. It also always opens the books on page 1. How can anyone read any long book without the ability to mark their place in it? Come on, every other reading app has that now.Highlights would be nice, too.

Worth buying if you want to learn Latin

I have been wanting to learn Latin for sometime now, and I recently bought a copy of the Wheelock’s Latin book, and I have Duolingo on my phone. I am trying to learn it on my own because I want to decipher through historical documents from ancient and medieval times, and this app has been a big help. I don’t usually write reviews but this app was worth taking time to write about!

Necessary for all Latin students

I rarely write reviews, but this app is certainly worthy of one. I bought it for the dictionary alone, which has an amazing parser function that gives the syntax of whatever word is entered. It is immensely helpful to a struggling Latin student such as myself. As I spent more time on the app, I discovered there is an incredible amount of content hidden in the menus. For one, there are hundreds of Latin texts with speeches and writings by everyone from Augustus to Virgil. The app also generates grammar quizzes and creates flashcards which are great. It also has basically an entire grammar textbook itemized in a manner that makes it easy to answer any lingering questions. Navigation is a little antiquated, but the amazing features easily compensate for the clunkyness. In short, if you are behind in Latin class or want to learn more, this app will help you get to where you want to be!

Crucial for any Latin Student

This app is a godsend for any Latin students. It has everything you need to build your proficiency and get an A. The parser is really helpful when dealing with long translations. Just put the text in, and it will preload all of the words, their translations, and any principal parts or genders you need. Also, a lot can be gained from the quotes on the front. This is a must buy and well worth the money.

Not Optimized for iPad mini6

There're two large blank or black bars on the top and bottom, which makes a substantial waste of the screen. More importantly, there's no way to take notes, for example, highlight and underline, while reading the texts. It has been more than 5 years, I believe, since the app's release and there's still no way to take notes. The content is good but what makes me want to use the app rather than to read my Latin paperback?

Great update! But...

I'm so happy that this app finally supports iPad Pro resolution. However, for some reason, split view doesn't work. It is strange, because all the other apps that support iPad Pro resolution also support split view, so I thought this app would support it, too. Maybe it will come with the next update? Also, it would be great if the developer also update Ancient Greek app, which I use a lot, too (I'm a classics major, so I use them everyday).

Please update for compatibility with future devices!

Everyone in Classics nneds this App. Whether you're in highschool, college, Grad school, or tenured. If you want to travel like Aeneas, you can bring a huge chunk of the Latin library with you. However, I recently got a message that it might not work with future updates of iOS. That would be a huge tragedy. This App has been a huge win for a very important field starting to make comeback... Let's keep the digital Renaissance going!

Good dictionary, but where are the fantastic games?

This app used to support a series of fantastic Latin games (Latin Match, Speed Latin-my students’ favorite, several others) and they were priceless. Fun for me, fun for the kids in my class. Our school bought licenses for all of them. Now we can only play them on the old ipads, as the updates don’t support them. Bring them back, PLEASE!! I’d even pay the $15 apiece for them, they were that good and motivational. The dictionary and reader is good, but doesn’t hold kids’ interest. I’m begging you…..

Totally awesome. "Add to flash cards" option to the dictionary would be awesome.

This app is totally awesome. It has saved my life on numerous occasions. Paper dictionaries are stupid because I get tired of singing the alphabet song in my head after 34,569 times. This app is an unstoppable Latin learning machine. One suggestion: make an "add to flash card deck" option for any word you look up in the parser dictionary etc. that would be incredibly awesome.

Absolutely amazing

This app is wonderful, I use it every day. The parser isn’t flawless but mistakes are quite rare, and it’s a very powerful tool that makes checking my translations a breeze. The authors section is easily navigable, and I appreciate the historical information too. With three decent textbooks included, it’s a strong quick reference if I forget something. I love the grammar practice section as well. My only problem with the app is that in the “matrix select” practice, the future perfect active indicative forms and the perfect active subjunctive forms are not differentiated between (despite being mostly identical), leading to some questions requiring a 50/50 guess for the correct answer. I can’t think of a productive way that could be solved, though, so 5 stars for the most exhaustively near-perfect app I’ve ever used.
