2026-05-28	Pi*****	With Scriba, developer Dominique Cadiet has rendered Latinists and Latin students an indispensable and incredibly affordable resource. The only feature it needs for perfection would be a “control key + f”-type find function within entries. I would love to be able, with an entry for a given lemma to be able to search for specific terms. For example, I’m reading the odes of Horace, who characteristically deploys words in their less common senses. The ability to search with a word entry the authorship abbreviation “Hor.” would greatly facilitate my first readings through Horace. This of course is but one small example of how a within-entry find function would enhance this wonderful app.

2026-01-16	Sk*****	In an earlier review, I complained about how I didn’t see any improvements in the update, and how it introduced an annoying issue. It hasn’t even been a week since then and the issue has been fixed. I’d like to thank the devs for being so responsive, I’ll continue using this app for years to come.

2025-04-27	BR*****	A very enjoyable resource with the default files and flash cards. When loading in text, PDF, or ePUB files the reader is extremely slow, close to a non-functional reader if not actually non-functional. The flash card portion however still contains bugs, and the app frequently crashes when navigating the documents tab (particularly when exiting a file or tap-searching a word within a loaded file). Further, files are extremely slow to load in the documents tab.

2022-02-03	Ar*****	With the demise of SPQR support, Scriba is a worthy successor. Has inflected form search, English-> Latin search, declension and conjugation info, has the Lewis & Short as a basis, and a number of other nice features. I've run it on iPhone, iPad, and iMac (M1). The only real complaint I have is that you cannot copy/paste from the dictionary. And when switching the search method, it clears the search term.
