It provides a quiz type activity on six levels of difficulty with scoring, error-highlighting and help functions. Verb lists with native language translations are provided for each level and the searchable database allows learners to hear the pronunciation of almost 180 of the most and least common irregular verbs.

VerbBusters is an essential part of the English learner's toolbox and can be used for extended study, quick reference or simply to put unexpected intervals of downtime to good use. The application can be used in English-English or Native Language-English modes and currently fully supports Portuguese, German, French, Spanish, and Italian. VerbBusters is a standalone application which does not collect any user data or connect to the Internet at any time.
