If you're trying to lean Spanish verb conjugations, Verbos is the app for you!
Each Spanish verb has 89 forms; you don't have to learn all of them, but you do have to learn many and you must be able to easily use at least the present tense and a few others.
Many students of Spanish find that the way to learn verb conjugations is to drill themselves, over and over and over. Verbos is the tool to do just that.
Using Verbos is simple: touch the screen and a new drill appears - an infinitive selected randomly, a tense selected randomly and a person/number ("yo", "tu", "el", "ella", etc.) selected randomly. You say - out loud or in your mind - what you think the answer is and touch the screen again. The correct answer appears. If you want, you can also hear the correct answer at the same time.
You can set Verbos to drill you on a subset of the 500+ verbs in the app. How can you choose?
- Select one infinitive to drill yourself;
- Create a list of verbs to drill (Verbos comes with a "Top 20 Verbs" verb list);
- Select what tense or tenses to drill. Want to work on just present tense: select that . Want to work on present and future and preterite? Select those and all drills presented will be only one of those three tenses;
- Want to drill on irregular verbs only? Select that.
- Want to drill only "-ar" verbs? Select that.
- Want to drill only on first person singular verb forms? Select that.
- Want to drill on regular "-ar" verbs only, present and preterite tenses only, first person singular and plural only? Select those settings and all drills will be "ar" verbs in present or preterite tense, first person singular or plural. You can customize the drills to a fine level, and then apply those settings to a verb list you've created. You'll drill yourself on exactly what you need to drill yourself on.
- You can test yourself. See your improvement! Verbos has three types of tests: timed, number of verbs, and a combination of both. you can selected how long you want the test or how many verbs you want the test to quiz you on. When the test is done, you'll see your score. You can save the test results, and see a history of all saved tests - clear proof that you're learning!
-You create and save any number of verb lists. This allows you to study a small set of verbs as a unit. When you use a verb list, only the verbs from that list will be used for quizzing.
- You can see a verb's complete conjugation from the main drill screen.
- You can see the full conjugation of any verb in the app by selecting that verb in the Settings screen.
-
- You can see a sample conjugation, in English, showing how each tense is used.

I love this app because practicing the conjugation is essential for fluency, yet can be pretty boring. This app allows you to do it when you have downtime (e.g. waiting in a line). You can save verbs that give you more problems in a list for later review. The customer service is excellent as well. I got an immediate response regarding a conjugation question about a particular verb.
Good, on the way to Great

I've used this app for several months. No crashes. I use it primarily on my iPad. I like it because I can test my progress in learning the various tenses. I've made some suggestions to the originator of the program for some changes to an iPad only version that have been favorably received. When those are done this will be a fantastic program to help with the tiresome chore of memorizing all those pesky conjugations. But even now I start a timer on my iPhone for several minutes and let the Verbos program pick random verbs in the various tenses I'm trying to learn. I then write down the "correct" answer and see how many I can get correct in my 5 minutes. Then I can easily calculate how many I answered and the percentage of correct answers to make it a little game of am I getting any better at this. It is also easy to use the iPhone version in those situation where you have a few minutes to practice. Quiet time at night, a Dr.'s office, watching the wife in a clothing store, it is easy to refresh one's memory in just a few minutes. And after awhile one begins to see progress in the daunting task of memorizing the various tenses, the irregulars, etc. In the beginning you might get 50% or 60% correct and over time work your way up to higher percentages. There are a couple of online free programs that do this, but they work with a limited number of verbs, only allow one tense at a time, and one has to be connected to the internet of course. For only $3 you get a portable program that allows one to do this anywhere. If you want to improve your proficiency at conjugating verbs, then this is a program you should have on your iPhone or iPad.
Good app

It’s a good app that I find useful. It could easily be a great app if they added speech to it. Other apps use Siri to speak the Spanish words so it can’t be that hard to add. Even though this has features I really like I find myself using other apps a lot more often because they incorporate speech into them. Adding speech would make this easily a 5 star app.
Developer Response
Speech has been added to the latest version of the app.
Learn your conjugations!

This is the best one of only a couple of apps out there for learning verb conjugations. All the other apps teach you lots of vocabulary, or maybe the verb infinitives, but this one teaches and quizzes you on all the conjugations. And for hundreds and hundreds of verbs. So, while it may not be flashy, or have pictures (how could it?), it does its job relentlessly and well. Unless you speak Spanish fluently, if you want to have a passing chance at going to a Spanish speaking country and getting your thoughts across, you'll need to know your conjugations. It's that simple. Plus the developer is easy to reach and quickly fixes the occasional bug that might pop up. Great app!
A hint of Liquid Glass and some minor fixes.
