Promising, but needs work
3 stars for being able to select vocab by book/letter AND range of chapters. No one else has that, well done. Also for the wide selection of grammars to go along with. Also, the immense customization in the options. If I couldn’t turn off the images, the sound, the English Bible verses (I’d rather they were in Greek), and I couldn’t select vocab by book and chapter, I’d give it 2 stars. But making it so that it is so customizable is the reason why I keep using it, even if it doesn’t seem as polished as other apps out there.
Response from developer
Thanks very much for your review. As I teach Greek and know quite a number who do, I disagree with you on Erasmian pronunciation - it continues to be widely used. That said, I would like to add reconstructed Koine as an option in the future. I need to weight his with the reality that it would double the app size. And in almost 15 years, you are the first to actually make the request! Image mnemonics are subjective of course. If you have suggestions I’ll welcome them, but the images actually existed and were used in teaching for many years before I made the app and many students have appreciated them. But I get that others don’t, which is why they can be toggled. In terms of tapping “flip” you can use the auto-play feature so it goes automatically. UI is often subjective too. I actually hired a UI pro and updated in the 2010s :-) Again thanks for your honest rating and review. And if you could please email me about the lag issue you mentioned, I’d appreciate it.
