ConjuGato – Spanish Verbs

UPDATE: ConjuGato is adding updates that address all my suggestions, WOOHOO!! So far I’ve researched other apps and this is my favorite one. Other ones you have to write out but I am more interested in quickening my ability to speak. I have a good baseline for Spanish and vocabulary but the first thing I lose is verb conjugation when it’s been a while since I’ve spoken. For that reason I like that this app can refresh me when I need to. I also like that for $5, it unlocks pro, none of this subscription frustration. Some suggestions I would add that I would pay additional for are if they made it so you could rate how well you know each card so that the algorithm makes that card show up more frequently and ones you don’t know as well not show up. For example I don’t need to practice present conjugation except for irregular verbs but until I get the irregular verbs I have to practice all of them. That’s my 2 cents. Also this app has the most verbs of all the verb conjugation apps. Another suggestion I would also pay additional money for is instead of showing the card that asks for the preterite form of the word “acabar”, in context sentences would anchor more in actual language use. That said, this is my favorite app so far, thank you Conjugato for not just making a great app but also one with a cute app icon because details matter!

Update: I changed my rating to 5 stars from 4 stars thanks to the app update that allows you to narrow the range of verbs to be studied and because the developer responded with a tip on how to do that using the edit function in the app. Thanks! ************************** I really like the simple, clean interface of this app. However, adding a way to specify which verbs you want to study would make this app much more useful. Right now, you can go into each verb and mark it "I learned this," leaving the few you want to study at the moment unmarked, but that is pretty time consuming. I would like to be able to look at the list of verbs and check the 10 or 20 that I want to focus on. I think adding this one feature would greatly enhance the utility of this app, especially for students who have to study certain verbs for a particular lesson.

One of the best Spanish self studying app you can find in the app store. I love how it doesn't forcibly require users to type out the answer to check the answer, it SAVES TIME when you only have a scatter of time in the day for Spanish learning. It's amazingly user-friendly as a language-learning app, however, I still have a little problem while using: can you try to find a way to allow pages being turned back? Cuz I found it a little disturbing when you can only keep learning forward but not getting a chance to page back to see what you've just learnt. It'll be wonderful if you can solve this problem. Thank you for developing the app.

I use this app obsessively every day and it has improved my Spanish ten-fold. But there is one glaringly absent feature that is really frustrating, which is to be able to mark specific verbs AND specific conjugations within each verb. A lot of verbs are mostly regular and easy, but are irregular in some conjugations, and I'd like to be able to go back to their irregular forms for extra review. Or even just a separate practice for only irregular verb forms. This would be so helpful for the irregulars without patterns. I cannot remember each form of caper or hacer (for example) after only seeing it one time. But I would still recommend this app to anyone. It's been super helpful for me. Thank you!!

This app is very easy to use, with many customization options. I love that you can practice with the verbs in a more spontaneous way vs just going through conjugations. This is much more like it would happen in conversation. The free version is nice, but I quickly needed more options so I bought the app. Well worth it! Thank you!
