Yesterday, we reported that an invalid AVG threat alert was shown on our users’ phones. This has now been resolved. Our Spanish Verb Conjugation game is now whitelisted and no more alerts are showing on AVG. We are also proactively going through the same process of being whitelisted by other anti-virus companies.

We hope you enjoy our Spanish Verb Conjugation game: a fun, effective learning tool for mastering the art of conjugating Spanish verbs.

=========================================

We value your privacy, your data and your independence. That is why we would never ask you for data or collect data from you. In fact, we don’t store any of your data at all. Moreover, we can’t even access the data you have on your phone. Only you can. You can read this on our Google Play Store Data Safety section.

Furthermore, we don’t request additional Android permissions. Other than your private learning database and settings, we don’t install or write anything to your device. You simply install our game via the Google Play Store, who also checked our game against their high standards of programming. No further access or permissions are required.

Remember, we don’t burden you with ongoing subscriptions or annoying ads. When you buy our games, you pay one price at the start and that is that. The game is yours forever. Even if we were to disappear, you would still be able to play the game without any ads forever.

That is why it came as a shock when we were informed that AVG was warning our users that our game is a threat. The message looked like this screenshot:

The issue is that AVG is using a “whitelist” whereby each app which is not on this list is given a black mark next to its name and the threat message is shown. This happens to a lot of apps and games on the market and we happen to be one of them. 

We are working with AVG to be placed on the whitelist in order for the threat label to disappear. Our game will not change and neither will your access to it.

Remember: We will never ask you for information and we will never collect any data without asking.

Please let us know via feedback@doma.games if you see similar messages or anything confusing on your phone so that we can resolve them as quickly as possible. 

Thank you!

Wow! Today’s Verb of the day is ser: the most important Spanish verb. Ser is the English verb “to be”. Actually, Spanish has two verbs for “to be”: ser and estar. Learning the difference is one of the biggest challenges when learning Spanish. However, the main difference is ser means to permanently be for example: él es español (he is Spanish), because your nationality doesn’t change. While estar implies that something changed, for example: estoy en España (I am in Spain), because you weren’t in Spain earlier.

Ser is the most frequently used verb, and it is often the first verb which new students of Spanish learn in school. Ser is also one of the most irregular verbs with exceptions in the present tense, both past tenses, and in both the subjunctive and imperative moods. Of course, in English, the verb “to be” is also the most frequently used verb, and one of the few irregular English verbs.

What does this mean?

It means that learning the verb ser is likely to take a little longer, because there are more irregular spellings to keep in mind in comparison to regular verbs such as hablar (to speak). Given how often the verb is used, it is necessary to learn the conjugation and get it right.
