Founding Tester Program
Join a small group of Spanish learners testing VerbCompass on Android and helping refine the app before launch.
Meet VerbCompass
VerbCompass combines a detailed Spanish verb reference with focused study tools designed to help learners understand, organize, and practice the verbs they actually need.
We are not looking for professional software testers. We are looking for Spanish learners who can use the app naturally and tell us what works, what feels confusing, and what could be made better.
Inside the App
VerbCompass includes powerful Reference tools, complete conjugation information, active-recall Study sessions, CEFR-based learning controls, and a personalized Custom Verb Pool.
Search by Spanish infinitive, conjugated form, or English meaning to quickly find the verb you need.
Review simple, compound, and imperative forms in one organized reference.
Practice with active recall and control exactly which verbs, pronouns, and forms appear.
Build a personal study list for lessons, reading, difficult verbs, or any topic you want to review.
Why VerbCompass Exists
VerbCompass began with a simple frustration: while studying Spanish, I found myself constantly jumping between textbooks, websites, conjugation charts, and notes just to understand a single verb.
I wanted one place that combined a complete verb reference with practical study tools that let me focus on the verbs I actually needed to learn.
After months of development and thousands of carefully organized Spanish verbs, VerbCompass has grown into the study companion I wished I had when I started learning.
VerbCompass includes over 2,600 carefully organized Spanish verbs, complete conjugations, CEFR organization, customizable study sessions, and a powerful personal verb collection.
Now I'd like a small group of fellow learners to help make it even better before its public release.
Why We’re Testing
The app’s core Spanish reference and study structure is already built. Before VerbCompass becomes publicly available, we need to learn how reliably and clearly it performs during real Spanish study on different Android devices.
Your experience can help us improve navigation, explanations, study behavior, device compatibility, and the overall learning experience.
Those lessons will strengthen the first Spanish release and help establish the foundation for VerbCompass’s next intended direction: English verb support for English learners, beginning with Spanish speakers.
Our Thank-You
Active Founding Testers will receive several benefits as our way of saying thank you for participating in the closed test.
Active testers who complete the required testing period and share feedback will receive permanent Full Access to VerbCompass — Spanish Verb Companion on Android after the public launch, including future updates and upgrades to that app. Access will be associated with the Google account used during testing.
Use the Android release before it becomes publicly available on Google Play.
Your feedback can directly shape improvements to navigation, Reference, Study, and the overall learning experience.
Be recognized as part of the original group that helped prepare VerbCompass for launch.
