Lingua Sacra

I just downloaded this app 3 days ago and have been using it consistently since. When I downloaded I was completely new to Latin outside of memorizing a few prayers but I feel this app may really be able help me expand my knowledge. Although I myself don’t know Latin fluency so I can’t speak to the accuracy of the translations, I’m amazed at how in depth and helpful this is app has been. I’m only using the free version right now and there is certainly no lack of content. Grateful to God for the gift of this app and to the creators who made it.

I never write reviews but I had to write one for this app. I’ve finished the latin course on Duolingo and whilst it did help me understand basic sentence structure and some vocabulary it was really weak and I didn’t feel confident at all. I’ve been using this app for just a week and A LOT more make sense to me now. The structure of the exercises is excellent to actually make you memorise vocabulary, there are so many ways of using the app, so much great content, great layout that is super easy to use and the best part is that everything is based on the Church, which is the reason I started learning latin in the first placr, so from the very beginning you’re getting prayers, scriptures, church fathers, saints, the mass, etc, instead of spending ages practicing silly basic sentences about weasels, stinky bathrooms and fish sauce that you won’t ever use it, which really helps boosting your motivation to learn more. What a blessing. God bless the people behind this app and I hope this app becomes extremely popular.

This app is exactly what I’ve been looking for. It’s not subscription-based, it mostly works offline, has good UI and customization options, and has a good amount of content from what I’ve seen so far. It’s pretty new so I’ve noticed some bugs, but nothing major. I reached out to the developer because I noticed a bug and he responded and fixed the bug very quickly and was extremely polite. From everything I’ve seen I am personally confident this app is good for my use as a Catholic. Definitely worth the 5 dollars considering it’s still a new app and already better than the numerous other apps I’ve already tried in my opinion. I plan to use this to start the path toward understanding the Vulgate and being able to read the works of St. Thomas Aquinas, so if it’s possible I’ll leave another review or an update to this one if I get to that point and let anyone reading this know how this app helped me. Ave Maria gratia plena!
