Ratings and reviews

This app has annoying system notifications to goad you to buy premium. After the "trial" is over, when you look up a word there's a pop up that closes the app and takes you to Play store to buy premium. The dictionary entries suck, they aren't good for interpretation, only rudimentary translation. Most words are given a one-word translation, even though Latin words have multiple meanings and nuances. If you're a student of Latin this app won't be helpful beyond the 1st term or maybe 1st year.

This app is almost useful... but it uses many abbreviations and symbols to indicate things, with no explanation... ANYWHERE... for what it means. Also... it does not show the declension or conjugation of any words... meaning you are left to guess/figure it out yourself. Which may be fine for someone proficient in Latin... but it leaves beginners completely lost.

The translations are admittedly terse, but it at least gives some idea of what a word means in Latin/English. The app is always available since you will always have your smartphone with you. It's helped me learn some new Latin words and there are plenty more left.
