Daily Use

This app has been of such great value to the work and research I do in regards to Ancient Greek texts. The dictionary is the part I use the most, but all aspects are useful and easy to use. I hope that one day there will be an AI translator upgrade.

Use it everyday!

I use this app daily. It’s the full version of the big Liddell and Scott dictionary for a tenth of the cost if purchased through Logos Software.

Cannot access the “Beta Code” or “Reverse”

Do not pay for this app until all the features are available again. Currently 2/3 of the dictionary functions are not selectable on the interface.

Abandoned?

This was a great app, and could still be a great app, but it hasn’t been updated in four years. Reverse and beta code lookup no longer work. Will it survive the App Store removal of unupdated apps? Let’s hope so.

Good but reverse search is broken

Good app to have as a lexicon on your phone. However, the English to Greek search has been broken for some time so that I am not able to select and use it.
