3.0
2023-08-16
This release sees a major update to version 3 of the Verb Blitz engine! As well as visual and under-the-hood improvements to the activities, the quizzes have been extended, a few more verbs have been added to the bank, and thematic groups have been added to play in the games. Happy learning!
2.8.8
2023-03-01
Fixes an issue with the text-to-speech in verb tables on some devices. Happy learning!
2.8.7
2023-02-28
Some minor tweaks under the hood to fix a couple of interface issues, and a brand new quiz added too. Happy learning!
2.8.6
2020-02-28
Grammatical info tags are now included alongside the English translation prompt in the Conjugation Quiz, giving tense, person and number hints. Now you can give those verbs a good technical drilling independent of the translation! This was based on a user suggestion, so if you have any feedback for new features, please let us know - we're always really happy to receive constructive feedback. Happy learning!
2.8.5
2020-01-28
This update fixes an issue with the tap-to-listen feature in verb tables on some devices. Thanks to the user who reported it. Happy learning!
2.8.4
2020-01-15
We've added a slider setting for the Snap Game so you can play at a slower pace, or even manic speed (a second per flip!) if you like. You'll find it in the Settings section of the app. Happy learning!
2.8.3
2020-01-11
A couple of brand new features in this release. To start with, you can now adjust the timing of the multiple choice games in the app settings. Give yourself a full sixty seconds per answer to wind down the stress, or crank the speed up to just two seconds per answer. Your call! Also, we've added the learning set "10 Essential Verbs" as a play option, so you can really drill those fundamentals. Thanks to all our users for sending great feedback and suggestions. Let us know if there are more features you'd like to see in coming releases. Happy learning!
2.8.2
2020-01-02
This update corrects an issue on some iOS versions where the Infinitive Quiz failed to start properly. Thanks to the user who spotted and reported that bug. We've also added a few seconds to the multichoice quiz timer while we work on a custom option for that in the settings. We like a challenge, but ten seconds was maybe a little too stingy for some of the more demanding tenses! Happy learning!
2.8.1
2019-12-11
Some tweaks to the new game options screens to keep things running smoothly. Happy learning!

Minor tweaks and improvements to keep things running nicely. We've also addressed a couple of, hmm, eccentricities in the English translation engine! Shipshape again now. Happy learning!
2.7.2
2019-04-04
We've tidied up the settings section to make it much clearer to pick the tenses you want to drill in the games. Nothing like a neat and tidy app! Happy learning! :)
2.7.1
2019-03-24
Want bigger text in the verb list? We've just updated it to use Dynamic Type, which means that it will respond to your accessibility settings on iOS. *Much* better, even if we do say so ourselves. Happy learning! :)
2.7
2019-01-24
We've scoobied up the main menu to work nicely across a wider variety of screen sizes, but also to make it easier for us to add new sections and activities in over the coming months. Happy learning!
2.6.3
2018-11-01
We've rejigged the order of the verb list so that certain verbs no longer appear hidden at the bottom of the list (thank you to the user who spotted that whilst looking for être!). We've also improved the usability of the verb browser (the pesky keyboard tended to linger in the way before!). Happy learning!
2.6.2
2018-10-16
We've updated the app to Apple's swanky new version of the programming language, Swift 4.2, to keep things shiny and up-to-date. Happy learning!
2.6.1
2018-09-27
Corrected an issue with the entry 'obtenir' - thank you for the observant user that spotted that! We rely on feedback to keep improving the apps, so if you have any suggestions, please don't hesitate to contact us on
[email protected]. Thanks, and happy learning!

2.0.5
2017-10-02
We've added a couple more verbs to the bank! This time it's a handful more tricky -yer verbs, which swap their -y- for an -i- in some parts of their conjugation. Also, a couple of niggling bugs have been squished, namely with the text-to-speech in some verb parts. Happy learning!
2.0.4
2017-09-26
Just some minor under-the-hood improvements to keep the app ticking over nicely. Amongst other things, we've updated our codebase to Apple's latest version of the programming language Swift. In a nutshell, this just makes it easier to keep the app up-to-date and ready to extend in the future.
Happy learning and thanks for your support!
