If youre trying to learn conjugations of Italian verbs, Verbi is the app for you!
Every Italian verb has 89 forms that a student of Italian has to learn. Verbi is the tool to do just that.
You can use Verbi in different ways:
- Learn the patterns of verb tenses by choosing a tense and then drilling yourself on verbs in that tense. Verbi will select a random verb conjugations and present it to you to drill, then show you the correct verb form - you then repeat the quiz/answer process as many times as you want. In this way, you learn not just specific forms for verbs, but the pattern of verb forms in tenses, so you can apply that pattern to any verb.
- Learn specific verbs. You can select one verb or create a verb list of verbs and have Verbi present you with drills on the verb you selected or verbs from your verbs list. You can create as many verb lists as you need, and have as many verbs on any list as you need.
- You can narrow down your learning by selecting only certain tenses, only certain verb types (-are verbs and/or -ere verbs and/or -ire verbs), certain types (Regular verbs and/or Irregular verbs and/or Reflexive verbs) and certain Person/Numbers (io verb forms and/or tu verb forms, etc.). These can be combined in any way to suit your learning needs; for example, you could drill yourself on verbs with an infinitive ending in "are", in the presente tense, only regular forms, and only in the 1st person singular person/number ("io").
Verbi has over 500 verbs fully conjugated. These include all the verbs in Barrons 501 Italian Verbs.
- Test yourself. See your improvement! Verbi has three types of tests: timed, number of verbs, and a combination of both. you can selected how long you want the test or how many verbs you want the test to quiz you on. When the test is done, youll see your score. You can save the test results, and see a history of all saved tests - clear proof that youre learning!
- Create and save any number of verb lists. This allows you to study a small set of verbs as a unit. When you use a verb list, only the verbs from that list will be used for quizzing.
- See a verbs complete conjugation.
- See a sample conjugation, in English, showing how each tense is used.
Verbi includes a small Help file. If youd like to see a more complete "How-To" document, go to www.verbtrainers.com and click on the User Manual link in the left column.

Pros and cons of Verbi - Italian Verb Trainer app for iPhone and iPad
Verbi - Italian Verb Trainer app good for
Awesome tool for memorizing verbs. Interface is slick and easy to use. This combined with a flash card app makes a perfect toolkit for learning Italian.
A quality program. Its fairly flexible so you could study, for instance, only regular, -are verbs in present tense. But, there are a lot of verbs and tenses.
My only complaint is that you can not select a group of verbs you are interested in working with. You can choose one single verb or use every one they have. I dont want to waste my time learn a ton of verbs I wont use and I dont want to waste my time constantly going back to the menu to pick a new verb to study. Id love to be able to pick 30 or 40 useful ones and be able to work on conjugating and on the meaning of the verbs.
Other than that, it is a useful and well-done program.
Very useful App. Great because you can use it to practice diferent forms and groups of verbs and add verbs to My List to focus on the verbs you want to really learn.
This App would be the absolute perfect tool for learning Verbs if you could also look at the complete conjugataion of each verb to study before adding it to your verbs to be quizzed on. Not just the conjugation of the specific tense of the verb you have just been asked about.
Simple user interface which allows you to rapidly test yourself and review Italian Verbs. Totally worth it, makes me want to practice (and learn) more!!! Indispensable for anyone trying to practice their knowledge of Italian Verbs.
Absolutely a great aplication for learning. Best I have seen and I have spent a lot trying to master Italian. Only issues are:1, the condizionale cannot be selected. 2. several verbs are translated wrong. The worst is STARE: stay or stand rather than to be. minor gripes
Thanks for the last update. It makes the application much better than before + the flag was already replaced. Just one thing, the app shouldnt be called "iverbi"? Anyway great app
Some bad moments
I bought this app so that I could practice verbs that I need to know for my tests at school but it really lacks in the selection of verbs. Add more verbs!!! Also, there is a glitch that does not allow you to save your verb lists. This app has the potential to be great but right now its useless to me. I will reassess if they update it.
Ugh. Twice Ive created a subset of verbs to practice, and twice the application would crash so hard that I had to uninstall the freaking thing to get it to run more than 3 seconds. I also get random crashes when not using subsets.
This has the potential to be a good app, but it is way too buggy and slow. Extremely frustrating since this app costs $3!
