Frequently Asked Questions

Downloads & purchases

What's the difference between the free and paid versions?

The free version is fully featured — it has every verb, every tense and the audio pronunciations. The only difference is adverts: the Pro (paid) version is the same app with the adverts removed. Pro is a separate download rather than an in-app purchase — look for the app name followed by "Pro" (or "(Plus)" / "(Más)" / "(Mais)" if your App Store is in another language), or the icon with a "+".

I purchased the app but I still see ads

The paid version of the app is a separate app, not an in-app purchase. To get the ad-free version, you need to download the Pro version from the App Store or Google Play. Look for an app with a "+" symbol in the icon, or search for the app name followed by "Pro" (or "(Plus)" / "(Más)" / "(Mais)" if your App Store is in another language). If you have already downloaded the Pro app but still see ads, make sure you are opening the Pro app (the one with the "+") and not the free app — both can be installed at the same time.

I bought the Pro app. Do I have to pay again on my other devices?

No. Your purchase is linked to your store account, so you can install the Pro app on your other devices on the same platform at no extra cost:

  • iPhone & iPad: sign in with the same Apple ID and download the Pro app again — the App Store won't charge you twice.
  • Android: sign in with the same Google account and reinstall from Google Play.

Apple and Google purchases are separate, though: buying on iOS doesn't unlock the Android app, and vice versa.

Using the app

I can't hear audio in the Android version

  1. On your Android device, install the Google Text to Speech app.
  2. Open Settings → Language & input → Text-to-speech output → Preferred engine. Pick Google TTS.
  3. Try listening to audio again in the app.

Do I need an internet connection to use the app?

No. All the verbs and conjugations are stored inside the app and work completely offline, so you can study on a plane or abroad without using data. You only need a connection to install the app and download updates. (Audio uses your device's built-in text-to-speech, which also works offline once the voice is installed.)

By default, search matches each verb's infinitive and its translations, which keeps searches fast. If you also want to find a verb by a conjugated form rather than the infinitive, turn on search by conjugation on the settings page.

Can I change the order of the verb list?

By default, the list is sorted in the app's own language (for example, Spanish in the Spanish app). If you'd prefer it sorted in your own language instead, you can change this on the settings page.

Can I copy or email the conjugations?

Yes. Each verb's conjugation can be copied to the clipboard or sent by email straight from the app, so you can paste a full conjugation table into your notes, a document or a message.

Verbs & corrections

A verb is missing — can I add it myself?

There's no manual "add your own verb" option, but the verb lists are curated and expanded regularly. If a verb you need is missing, send it to us through the in-app "describe your issue" form or by email and we'll usually add it in a later update. Please include the verb's infinitive and which language app you're using.

I can't find möchten in the German app

möchten isn't a separate verb — it's the Konjunktiv II (subjunctive) form of mögen, so you'll find it there rather than as an entry of its own. Open mögen and look under the subjunctive Präteritum: ich möchte, du möchtest, er/sie/es möchte, wir möchten, ihr möchtet, sie möchten.

It's a natural thing to wonder about, because most textbooks introduce möchten alongside the modal verbs as though it stood alone. The same holds for other forms — something that looks like a verb in its own right often belongs to another verb's conjugation. If a form you search for doesn't appear, turn on search by conjugation.

A conjugation, tense or translation looks wrong. How do I report it?

Please tell us and we'll put it right — corrections ship in a later app update and appear automatically once you update. Report it through the in-app "describe your issue" form or by email, and include:

  • the verb and the language app;
  • for a wrong or missing conjugation, the specific tense or form (for example the imperative, or the nosotros form);
  • for a translation, the language it appears in and your suggested wording.

I'm still seeing a bug or a missing verb that should be fixed

First, check that you're on the latest version of the app. New verbs and corrections ship inside app updates rather than syncing from a server, so updating refreshes the built-in verb database and clears up many reported issues. Your favourites and history are kept when you update.

Favourites & suggestions

Can I move my favourites to another device, or to the Pro app?

Yes — how you do it depends on where they're going:

  • Between your iPhone and iPad: nothing to do. As long as both devices use the same Apple ID and it's the same app, your favourites sync automatically over iCloud.
  • From the free app to the Pro app: these are separate apps and don't share favourites, so export from one and import into the other.
  • Between iOS and Android, in either direction: use the same export and import.

To move them, open the settings page and choose Export Favourites, then send yourself the file (by email, or through a cloud drive). On the other device, open the settings page, choose Import Favourites and select that file.

Your purchase itself doesn't move between Apple and Google — see the question above.

Can I suggest a new feature?

Yes, of course! Feel free to send an email with your suggestion.
