Description
SPQR is the ultimate learning tool for Latin students who want to immerse themselves in the language, presenting the most comprehensive Latin dictionary on the App Store, dozens of Latin texts with English translations, a grammar tester, flashcards, quiz, numeral converter, quotes of ancient wisdom, language learning tools and more.

*** TEACHERS: You can save 50% off the price of SPQR by using Apple's App Store Volume Purchase Program for education - visit http://www.romansgohome.com/education for more information ***

Here are just some of the features:
- Full, fast and searchable copy of the Lewis & Short Latin lexicon - it searches as you type, showing either short definitions or full definitions along with citations.

- Parse any Latin word to English, regardless of conjugation - includes full breakdown of the word's form.

- Full copies of classic texts in their original Latin, grouped either by author or genre, including: the Gallic War and Civil War by Julius Caesar, Res Gestae by Augustus, the Twelve Caesars by Suetonius, the Amores by Ovid, the poems of Catullus, the Aeneid, Georgicon and Eclogues by Virgil, Pliny the Elder and Younger, the Metamorphoses by Apuleius, five landmark speeches by Cicero (including In Verrem!), plus Horace, Juvenal, Vitruvius and more!

- Most of our Latin texts come with parallel English translations, which means you can be reading Caesar's original Latin description of his battles in Gaul, then tap a button and jump to an English translation exactly where you left off - flip between languages to check your translation as often as you want!

- New "Church fathers" mode that gives you the Bible in English and Latin, plus Augustine's Confessions and Bede's Ecclesiastical History of the English People.

- Students can use the built-in grammar test to check their skill at Latin conjugation; teachers can use the new exam mode to generate tests for classes in seconds.

- When you find a new word, use SPQR's flashcards system to practice your vocabulary as you learn.

- Our built-in classics quiz has over 4000 questions on the ancient world to test your knowledge.

- Included in the app are full copies of Allen & Greenough's New Latin Grammar, plus Fabulae Faciles, Bennet's New Latin Grammar and The Comic Latin Grammar - we've even added Edward Gibbon's epic work The Rise and Fall of the Roman Empire for good measure.

- Dozens of quotes from ancient Roman sources, along with their English translations.

- Set Access Controls to restrict features based on student needs.

- PLUS: take advantage of the integrated Roman numeral converter, experience Caesar's Gallic War in word-for-word mode, try your hand at the Sortes Virgilianae, get up close to Ancient Rome with our exclusive photo collection, and more!


SPQR is the app no serious Latin student should be without!


*** WHAT USERS ARE SAYING ***
"I teach both high school and college Latin classes. This is a great tool. To the creator: gratias multas! Everything he/she writes on the app advertisement page is accurate." - Magister McNair

"Wow... This has to be the best app I've ever spent money on. You could spend months just reading all the content it has, and the dictionary is just as useful as any official one." - Toop777

"The sheer volume of material is nearly overwhelming.  Definitely worth the price." - Kevbo SF

"I bought this app a couple of days ago, and am still coming to terms with how fabulous it is... If you love (or even like) Latin, I can't imagine you could be disappointed with this app. It does all that the creator promises, and it does it oh so well." - TuTubusLatinus

"This app is a Swiss Army Knife of Latin resources. As it is it's good enough for anyone who is comfortable reading Latin and wants to keep his classic texts all in one convenient app." - Jerrykim

Crashes repeatedly

I have been using this app on my iPhone almost daily for about ten years. The last few months, the app crashes when I go to the dictionary. I have uninstalled and re-installed the app, looked for an update, and tried to locate contact information for the developer to no avail. Could you please fix it?

Love it, but please try to fix the bug!

This the most used and appreciated app on my phone. It’s really remarkable in breadth and depth, but as others have noted, the app has recently started crashing whenever I click on one of the Lain authors. Deleting and re-downloading the app did not help.

Needs updating

The basic function of the dictionary works, and it is very good however, the app will intermittently crash in other functions.

5 stars for the old days

This app seems dead. Crashes to home screen any time you try and click an author. It’s a 1 star rating for this, but I’m giving it 5 stars as a legacy rating for well over 5 years of excellence when it did function properly.

Formerly Great App Lost its Library

Title says it all. SPQR until recently was a fantastic collection of Latin literature that also included a useful dictionary functionality. The dictionary still works but any attempt to open one of the works by the Latin authors causes the app to crash. I infer that the developer has fallen behind on maintenance for compatibility with iOS updates

Crashes repeatedly now

I used to love this app and used it almost daily. Now it crashes every time I try to use it. I have deleted the app and reinstalled it. That did not help. I cannot figure out how to contact the developer, so I decided to write this review to bring awareness to the issue.
