Pros and cons of French Verbs Trainer app for iPhone and iPad

French Verbs Trainer app good for

My daughter, who is in French immersion, uses this to study her verbs. I like being able to set up the "my quiz" for the verbs shes learning at the time.
Quiz feature is good. Suggestions for future versions: 1. In the quiz feature, when selecting a verb tenses, a "Random" option would be beneficial; 2. In the set of 4 answer option provided for each quiz question, as the difficulty goes up, including inappropriate tense options may increase the level of difficulty. Keep up the good work.
Finally, a definition of the various tenses! Yay! What would make learning the verb forms easier would be translations of each of the conjugations of each verb. That way, the meanings of each would be perfectly clear and immediately accessible to the user without them having to go back to the definitions (ummm... How do you say "I would have been" again?).
I recommend this app if you are looking for a verb helper while studying French. Works perfectly. I hope the developers continue improving the app and adding more features.
Easy to navigate. The search box in particular is really useful. Its handy as a quick reference guide.
I have Verb Trainer in 3 languages. I dont care for the price, but also I wish the verb were presented first in the quiz. The current way, person/verb/meaning, accidentally reinforces the -er sound as the -ez form, which is only acceptable for "vous". I like being able to choose the verbs Ill be quizzed on, as well as the tense. This helps to concentrate on the verbs Im having trouble with.

Some bad moments

About the content : * Its obvious, youre not a French native speaker. Just an advice, ask a French guy about French conjugaison before trying to teach French to anyone.. There are mistakes in verbs (I AM French). About the application : * You say in the description "Create custom lists" <= where ? There is nothing like that for the iPhone or iPad version. * "synchronization on iCloud" <= Again! where ?? Because it doesnt work.. * In exercices, sometimes I click on an answer but another is selected (no, my fingers are normal and not big).. I bought it for my gf.. That was a real waste of money.. I wish I could get a refund..
It keeps crashing (iPad Air 7.1.2); even if I turn sound effects off it still talks; does not support landscape mode (answers do not fit the screen)
I made the in-app purchase and now the software is asking me to buy the license again. You try to send a message via Très Bien site and you always get an error. Unbelievable! I want my money back. Thieves!
Theres a lot of bugs! I cant complete just one exercise, they say that all bugs are fixed, but its not.
The quiz flash card section needs to automatically move on. Slow
The stars do not fully express my evaluation. It appears (unless I have missed something) to be able to access the full features the IN-APP purchase is required on all my devises and although I very much like the app design this is a big negative discovery for me!
