Fantastic App - In Need of a Couple Tweaks
I use this app nearly every day in my phone and my iPad. It’s lightning fast and allows me to read for pleasure, or hone in on a particular word or phrase in a given text. As another reviewer said, it’s great for reading and research. There are so few typos (and some have been corrected already in the big authors like Seneca or Plato), so I’m confident I can read for pleasure and have never hit a confusing sentence that wasn’t just my fault!
I’d like to see two things to improve this app. First, the Latin dictionary will tell me the form but not the meaning. I get both in Greek when I highlight a word and press “Analyze” in the menu that pops up. All I get in Latin when I do the same is the form. Having the dictionary built right in is clutch! And so the app is only halfway there.
I’d also like to see a Mac version, or at least a good way to export highlights. I found myself highlighting at first, and I still will for certain authors when I know I’ll come back to the app. But since the highlights can’t easily be moved or synced (to my knowledge), they feel kind of locked in and so I find myself highlighting less. Even just a text export would help me move it to a spreadsheet or something more permanent.
Thanks for developing this fantastic app and making it free! I hope it just continues to get better and the corpus keeps growing! I’s love to see more Late Antiquity/Patristic authors. I read some Cyprian of Carthage but no Gregory the Great, for example.Show lessthomasmore44
Decent
Layout of the app is great. Some greek paraing seems to be incorrectcalderd
An astonishing app
A truly incredible selection of ancient texts in their original languages and English translations, with a beautiful interface. One of the top five apps in existence.stevoonthescene
powerful app!
this is a great app for general reading and even for research purposes, thank you so much!! hopefully there will be more texts in addition to an already quite extensive corpus!cygnothiti
Incredible! The wished for app
I am so grateful to the developer of this app. It is incredibly powerful and well designed for the reading of Latin and Greek. I look forward to using it to dive back into texts I have long avoided, newly confident that this app is going to ease the process of mastering them very significantly. Thank you thank youShow lessDittyDittyBangBang
Beautiful
Adrian has created yet another beautiful, functional, amazingly free app. I can’t believe how many texts are included and how much you can do with this 1.0 release. Just download it and start playing around! Also check out Protagoras for lexica.Brian W. Davidson
it’s amazing
This app is exactly what I wanted, and then some. I don’t understand how it’s free. I’m going to have to figure out how to donate. The split screen being about to get through texts in Latin/Greek and English simultaneously is awesome.Far-quad Amundian
