Portuguese Verbs Trainer for Pc

App works ok in english but if you have set your phone language to the app, it won't work.

From the very first look at the introduction, there is a typo in "preform" rather than "perform." Secondly, it says that Spanish is a pro-drop language, when this app is for the app. I see typos in the very first set of quizzes in the English. It's fine to make an app, but if you're trying to make an app to teach people something, it needs to be correct. Hire a proofreader or two, make sure the English and the the app are correct!!!

I have been using this app for a few days and it has made it far easier to memorize verb forms. The dictionary alone is a great tool to see everything relevant laid out for each verb. Unfortunately, it contains serious mistakes. First, there are problems with the compounds of pôr (compôr, pospôr, etc.). These are conjugated as though they were regular -er verbs. As an example, for compôr, instead of eu componho, ele compõe, nós compomos, eles compõem, what appears is eu compo, ele compe, nós compemos, eles compem, and so on through all tenses and moods, for all compounds of pôr. As a result, virtually every form is incorrect. Luckily, these verbs are put in their own category, so you can ignore them until this is fixed. Some future subjunctives are also incorrect. For estar, this app gives estivar, estivarmos and estivarem; it should be estiver, estivermos, estiverem. Similarly, for dar it gives dar, darmos, darem, instead of der, dermos, derem. Finally, students of Brazilian the app might want to note that they don't need the "tu" form, which is replaced by "você" in standard Brazilian the app. Although it's good to see what these forms are, it would be very helpful if one could exclude the "tu" forms from the quiz so that one can work on just the relevant forms for Brazilian the app.

There's a lot of different language apps for the iPhone but this is the first I've found that deals specifically with verb conjugation. I like the quiz option, although I agree with the previous reviewer that it would be helpful to choose more than one tense to be quizzed on. Also, I think having an option to listen to each word could be a good feature, although it would likely take up a lot more space on the phone. Overall a very helpful purchase for learning a language .
