About Verbum: Church Latin
Verbum teaches ecclesiastical (Church) Latin from the texts themselves — the Vulgate, the traditional prayers and hymns, and the Fathers of the Church — rather than from invented sentences. Read the sources. The entire Latin Bible (Clementine Vulgate) sits side by side with the Douay-Rheims English. Tap any word in any text to see its meaning, hear it in correct Roman pronunciation, and save it straight to your flashcards. Learn it for good. Spaced-repetition flashcards (3,000 words), conjugation and parsing drills for 1,010 verbs, listening and translation exercises, and 41 plain-English grammar articles. A guided path. Begin at your level and follow an ordered journey — a grammar point, a few words, a short reading, and a test — that unlocks lesson by lesson. The whole tradition. 37 traditional prayers, 20 hymns in parallel translation, and famous passages from twelve Fathers and Doctors — Augustine, Ambrose, Jerome, Leo, Gregory, Benedict, Anselm, Aquinas, Bonaventure and more — every Latin text verbatim from a verifiable public-domain source. Rooted in the day. A traditional liturgical calendar shows the season, its colour, and today's feast; a verse of the day; a home-screen widget; and gentle daily reminders. Yours, privately. Everything works offline. No account. No ads. No tracking. Nothing ever leaves your device. Free.

What’s new
Version 1.3 · Updated August 5, 2026
Thank you for using Verbum. This update adds a gentle native iOS review prompt that may appear only after meaningful use of the app, such as completing study actions over multiple sessions. The prompt is designed to be respectful and infrequent, so it will not interrupt new users or appear immediately on launch. This release also includes minor maintenance updates for App Store distribution.
