Latin Proverbs 1.0.0.0
Nonetheless, those who are looking for wisdom and knowledge from ancient times might have a hard time finding some special tools to help them in their quest.
Fortunately, for Windows Phone users there is a gleam of hope, as utilities like Latin Proverbs might bring users a good deal of the knowledge they were seeking.
Friendly layout, focused on practicality
The application comes with a simple and efficient interface, where the good looks are less favored compared to the functionality, so the GUI is clearly more practical than visually appealing.
The content is kept very well organized, with all the proverbs easy to find and browse, thanks to an alphabetical organization and an effortless way of going through the sayings.
A constant nuisance comes from the frantically changing advertisement banners that seem to be stuck to the lower part of the screen in every section of Latin Proverbs.
Browse the comprehensive database and read the sayings
As soon as you start the utility for the first time, you will be greeted by a random quote in Latin, with the adjoining translation right under it.
Moving on to another proverb from this screen can be done in a couple of manners, namely by using the arrow buttons or by tapping the "Random" function.
Inside the "All" module you have every bit of Latin wisdom at your fingertips and you can scroll through the entire database or look for specific entries using the jumplist feature that is built-in the app.
Save favorite proverbs and view their meaning
Every time you come across a proverb you feel like keeping closer to you, simply press the star next to it and the respective saying will be added to the "Favourites" section of the application.
A very nice ability of Latin Proverbs is the presentation of an explanation for some of the aphorisms, sometimes accompanied by the equivalent proverb in English.
In case you are curious about where the proverbs were taken, you can activate a certain option from the "Settings" area that will reveal the source for each saying.
Another function available in the same menu allows you have proverbs displayed on the lock screen and this is also working on the app's live tile you pin to the Start screen.

Bottom Line
Design / UI6
The appearance of the utility is less attractive and the continuously changing ads make it lose a lot as well. |
Function9
This app brings a nice set of proverbs along with the explanations and equivalents, while offering a live tile and lock screen status abilities. |
Security7
Latin Proverbs will need to look into several system areas, some connected to its functions, but others are accessed for no good reason. |
Battery6
The application requires quite a bit of energy from the handset's battery, so the power usage is high at all times. |
Price9
It is a very good thing that all the information is offered without any costs, but the advertisement banners are very insistent. |
Compatibility9
The utility can be installed and used on any Windows phone powered handset that is running version 8 or higher of the OS. |
