Ultralingua Latin-English App Reviews

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!

Conjugation (1, 2, 3, & 4) for verbs , declension (1-5)...macrons..dont care too mig about those. Get some irregular verb charts in there as well. Pretty good with phrases and vocab, though..so +1 star. Give us our moneys worth!

If your looking for a basic latin to English dictionary then this is a good app, but it needs to include the conjugations and declintions. The conjugations and declintions are so important in Latin that this app will not be very helpful until it includes them.

This is a nice dictionary to have for improving vocabulary and overall its not that bad, but it would be great if there were a Pro Latin Dictionary with semantics, macrons, parts of speech, conjugations, phonetics, headwords in blue, vulgar and modern Latin, and sample sentences. Some definitions are incorrect, e.g. earthquake turns out terrae when it should be terrae motus. Also please add Japanese, Russian, Greek and other languages. Keep up the good work.

If this app had verb conjugations it would be far more valuable. If you could also put on here a table for all 5 noun declensions, that would also be very helpful. Other than that this app is a quick and convenient way to get a definition, and if you are proficient with Latin you should be able to conjugate on your own. Also, the forms of irregular verbs should be added.

I wasted my money on this. Whatever happened to truth in advertising? No conjugation, inaccurate manual for want of a better word. The free aps are just as good.

Just the basic basic words. Almost useless.

I have several other Ultralingua apps that I find very useful. That having been said, why isnt this app formatted like those? No conjugations? I know Latin is a "dead" language, but there is still a lot to be learned from studying it. Conjugations would greatly help give this app another star or two, as well as help its users get more from it.

This dictionary is virtually useless. Clearly 3/4 of all Latin spoken is ecclesiastical Latin, and this dictionary is no help with even the most basic of Latin words. Ultralingua needs todo a much better job.

I just upgraded my Ultralingua Latin app, and I am blown away! This is wonderful. Easy to read, comprehensive, informative, showing word history (roots and origins in earlier languages), complete and accessible complete conjugations. I am really impressed. Thanks so much. LatinMom

Logistically this is a great app just like Ultralinguas other apps. As far as quality of information (amount and accuracy) this app needs a lot of work though. I am disappointed at the lack of accuracy in the translations for some words and at the fact that when I look up a noun or verb I do not see declension number or principle parts. Please update, I trust Ultralinguas apps to be of high quality.

Could not even find the word They in this dictionary, let alone a translation.

I really like this app. I cannot pretend to any great expertise in Latin dictionaries. But I like this one because it identifies words if you give any of the many forms of the word. Latin, of course, has endings which can multiply the forms to a bewildering number. And sometimes there are forms that are just unrecognizable by a humble student such as myself. I recently, for example came across the term "lautus erit" in Familia Romana chapter XXX. I could not figure it out. But this app got me to the future perfect passive form of the term for wash. I had puzzled over that for days before I finally broke down and consulted this app. It got me there in moments. So I recommend it.
