You can memorize vocabulary. Forms you have to understand.
Formentrainer is built for exactly that, and nothing else.
Smart Training
The trainer remembers which forms give you trouble and brings
them back at growing intervals, until they truly stick.
Ranks & XP
From Discipulus to Imperator. Every correct answer counts.
Verbs
Every tense, every mood, active and passive, plus nominal forms like PPP and PPA.
Nouns
a-, o-, consonant, i-, u- and e-declension. Case, number, gender.
Adjectives
Declension, comparison, and case-number-gender agreement with the noun.
Sentence constructions
Spot AcI, NcI, participial phrases and the ablative absolute in
real sentences, not isolated forms. Exactly where translations
usually fall apart.
25 lessons and every table
From the a-declension to the AcI: short lessons with a mini
quiz, plus every paradigm table for reference. Forms are not
pulled from a fixed list but built from the actual rules, so
they hold up on the edge cases too.
Weakness analysis
You see, in black and white, how confident you are for each
form type, and what to work on next. No sugar-coating, but no
discouragement either.
No data, no ads
No account, no tracking. Your progress stays on your device.

From the App Store
What learners are writing.
Real App Store reviews, kept in their original German and unedited.
Gute App
Diese App ist wirklich sehr gut: mein Sohn hat davor immer in Latein
schlechte Noten geschrieben, obwohl er die Vokabeln eigentlich immer
gut konnte. Er nutzt jetzt seit einiger Zeit diese App und seine Noten
sind nun deutlich besser. Nun weiß ich, dass es nicht immer nur
an den Vokabeln liegt sondern dass auch die Formen gut zu können
wichtig ist.
Super App
Super tut genau was es soll, hilft mir auch (obwohl ich auf 4 stehe)
Gute App
Ich finde die App echt gut und sie hilft auch für Schulaufgaben
und so aber es wäre cool wenn man Am Anfang noch eine kleine
Erklärung bekommen könnte :)
Already bought the app before?
Everything stays unlocked. If you purchased Formentrainer as a
one-time paid app previously, you get the full version
automatically, at no extra cost.
Frequently asked
Quick answers.
What year of Latin is this app for?
All of them. On first launch, the app asks how far along you are
in Latin and which tenses, moods and declensions you've already
covered. Anything you haven't learned yet is hidden, so you're
never shown a form your class hasn't reached. Later, you can
unlock more in the settings whenever you like.
Do I need an internet connection?
Only for the purchase. After that, everything runs offline: forms
are built on the device following the actual rules, not fetched
from a server. Handy on the bus, the train, or at school.
Is any data collected about me?
No. There's no account, no sign-in, no tracking and no ads. Your
progress is stored exclusively on your iPhone.
Are the forms really all correct?
The app doesn't pull forms from a fixed list, it builds them with
a grammar engine from stem and ending, including the edge cases.
That engine is checked automatically against a test set with
every release.
What if a form is ambiguous?
That happens constantly in Latin, portās can be
"you carry" or the accusative plural of porta. In cases
like that, the trainer accepts any correct reading and explains
the other possibility too.
Does this replace Latin class?
No, and that's not the goal. The app trains one specific skill:
identifying forms quickly and confidently. Exactly the part where
most points get lost on exams.
Which iPhone do I need?
An iPhone with a current iOS version. The exact requirement is
listed on the App Store page.
The next exam is coming, guaranteed.
Five minutes a day is enough. The trainer picks out the forms you
don't have down yet.
