Latest reviews of Ultralingua Latin-English app for iPhone and iPad
I really like the idea of this app and it does work, but it seems that there are many quite common words that are missing. If you search in the latin-to-english translator for a verb, you may not find it, due to missing conjugations in the dictionary. I have a church choir background and am interested in the meaning of the latin words we sing. Pacem, I believe, is a conjugation of pax (meaning peace), and yet I cant find pacem by searching. I can find pax, but not pacem. Overall it is a great idea and the app is well designed - I just think it needs a bigger database with more words and more conjugations so you dont have to figure out the root of the word before searching. At this point, Im not sure that it is really worth $14.99. I still like what I can do with the app and look forward to updates.
I very much wish I could get my money back. I obviously should have read the description more thoroughly before spending $15 on such a useless app. I thought it would be like other ultralingua dictionaries and actually conjugate verbs. And, the description did say that the program would recognize inflected verbs, which was a lie! DO NOT waste your money!
Gratias, sed piget tarditas auctorium. Hilarem non facit verbum selectum in telephoni scrinium fenestram caecam.
I was initially excited to see a Latin dictionary on IPhone, but ended up dissapointed. I own two other Ultralingua dictionaries (Italian and French) and am satisfied with those. I expected that this dictionary would come with the conjugation as others that I have bought, but unfortunately it does not. The conjugation on verbs and additional noun declensions would be a great addition to this app. Without those features, I find it hard to justify the money that I spent and thus the 2 stars rating. Once they have implemented the features, I will upgrade the review.
I agree that this application needs the conjugations all the other Ultralingua dictionaries offer. Very disappointing!
