Ratings and reviews

Very useful app to check verb conjugations! It would be nice to add example phrases.

Best of the best! Has all the verbs in present tense, past, future and their conjugation with Ik, Jij, Wij, ..etc. In each tense!! Absolutely amazing!

App is fairly good but in the list of conjugations for each verb the headers of the conditional tense & future perfect tenses are wrong! Needs correcting!
