  • Room for improvement

    as a native Greek speaker who went to school in Greece where everyone used to write modern Greek in polytonic I cannot believe that there is no predictive text so that diacritics are automatically placed. Modern technology has advanced so much that it should enable the polytonic system to come back (this was abolished in 1982 due to being too complex for the newly introduced newspaper automated printing machines of the day). Lack of predictive text is a significant drawback

  • So good

    So amazing I wish I could give it 6 stars tbh
  • It's great so far!

    It's easy enough to switch back and forth between my phone's keyboard and this one. Only thing I've noticed is that the delete/backspace button is way to sensitive. On the plus side, you can erase entire paragraphs in two seconds. Overall 👍 and Ἐπαινῶ.
  • Nearly perfect

    It's exceptionally great! All the accents, all the letters, and punctuation. I only have an issue with the fact that the backspace deletes the letters too fast, and also a predictive option would be nice.
  • Helpful for Ancient Greek Students

    This keyboard is excellent for the student of Koine or Attic Greek. The stock apple keyboard does not include many standard diacritical marks (breathing, accents, and accent breathing combinations).

    This keyboard also allows for two different style layouts. One allows for a single button to function for all marks (long press) and the other gives a single button for each mark.

    Excellent resource for the Greek student using iOS.

  • Great keyboard, I use it in college.

    I use this keyboard to type out sentences in my Greek class, after translating them from English. The way accents, subscripts, and everything else is implemented is great. This app is a lifesaver.
  • καλός

    I really like this keyboard. This functionality has been missing from iOS for a long time. This keyboard gives me access to what I need to type out the correct Greek characters for the notes I prepare for our family Bible devotions. Thank you for helping me serve Ἰησοῦς as I serve my family and feed them the nourishment that my κύριος expects me to provide them with.

    The time to switch between keyboards is very fast on an iPhone 6 Plus and an iPhone 6s Plus. The time to switch between keyboards was slower on my old iPhone 4s that I had traded in.

  • ἀγαθός

    The only Ancient Greek keyboard currently available for iOS. Works well and is very useful as I am a Classics major; however, when typing in text boxes on some websites (mostly social media, it seems), diacritics do not place themselves properly on capital letters. This is rare, though. Great keyboard!

  • Nice Keyboard

    Easy to install, quick to switch to from the standard iOS keyboard, and simple in design. Overall a great keyboard.

    One drawback is it doesn't appear to support Unicode. So if I type an character with diacritics, the diacritics will sometimes be ignored. For example, ἄ will be interpreted by some websites/apps as Unicode 945, which is plain alpha, instead of Unicode 7940, which is alpha with a smooth breathing mark and an acute accent. I hope the developer can add Unicode compatibility!

  • Could be better...

    The keyboard works far too slow!! It should work as a proper keyboard...
