### 5/5 — Marvellous

*2023-04-02*

A wonderful app.  I am reading Medea right now.  I use the app for vocabulary and turn to my commentary book for explanations.  Makes things so much faster.  It will definitely be my constant companion when reading Greek.  A Latin one would be nice too.  I have written an app myself - not to do with languages - so I fully appreciate the hard work which went in to producing this.

### 5/5 — Fantastic!

*2021-04-25, version 5.1*

I love this app so much—it’s completely changed the way I read Greek (for the better). Very grateful that it’s been created and maintained.

### 3/5 — Pretty cool

*2021-04-02*

But they forgot to build their dictionary (Logeion) into the app, so now you need to modulate back and forth between apps.

### 3/5 — English please?

*2020-05-29*

I would like this app to have an option for English translation.

**Developer response:** Hi! We are struggling to make space (and still don't please everyone with the selection of Greek texts!); translations are more easily available on line in mobile-usable format, so that is why we made the choice we made. Sorry:-(

### 5/5 — Outstanding

*2020-05-03*

This is your "desert island" app.  An amazing tool for reading and learning Ancient Greek.

**Developer response:** Many thanks! Hope we can all travel again soon. In the meantime, we recommend reading daily, in bed, over breakfast:-)

### 5/5 — What a pleasure to use

*2020-03-28*

Linked with Logeion, this takes reading Greek lit into a new age.  Using it for Homer and Herodotus right now.

**Developer response:** Such generous praise! Glad you like it.

### 5/5 — Great

*2019-12-21*

I love this app. Some tiny annoying features, like the fact that the list of authors can't be hidden while you are reading the text. 
It would also be great if you could highlight the text with colours. I would LOVE it if the app remembered every word that you looked up and saved them in a list for you to revise from later. As a classics student that would be super helpful.
Overall, best app ever and wish there was a Latin version!!!

**Developer response:** Valid points, all! Sorry to report that the genius volunteer programmer has a day job.. We hope you can still enjoy, and in time forgive, the no-frills version:-)

### 5/5 — Freaking awesome

*2018-04-29*

This app has completely changed the way I read Greek. I love its uncluttered, streamlined interface. The seamless interaction with Logeion is brilliant. Keep up the amazing work, and huge thanks for making this fantastic app available.

**Developer response:** Thank you for the awesome review! Apologies for not responding before.

### 5/5 — Attikos Greek text reading app

*2018-02-08*

This is a superbly constructed app which advertises its capabilities with utmost accuracy. It puts a number of canonical texts right at your fingertips with enough help one click away to be able to read without recourse to another dictionary. 
Great stuff indeed.

### 5/5 — What a great app!

*2017-11-13, version 4.0*

This is a great app. It has all the key classical Greek texts that I want (Homer, the tragedians and so on) and presents them in a very clear format. And it links to Logeion’s Greek lexicon.
