Blown away
Amazing — gigantic library, practically instantaneous load times, attached dictionary, and I could go on. Just incredible.
Marvellous
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.

Fantastic!
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.
Pretty cool
But they forgot to build their dictionary (Logeion) into the app, so now you need to modulate back and forth between apps.
English please?
I would like this app to have an option for English translation.
Response from developer
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:-(
Outstanding
This is your "desert island" app. An amazing tool for reading and learning Ancient Greek.
Response from developer
Many thanks! Hope we can all travel again soon. In the meantime, we recommend reading daily, in bed, over breakfast:-)
What a pleasure to use
Linked with Logeion, this takes reading Greek lit into a new age. Using it for Homer and Herodotus right now.
Response from developer
Such generous praise! Glad you like it.
Great
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!!!

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:-)
Freaking awesome
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.

Thank you for the awesome review! Apologies for not responding before.
Attikos Greek text reading app
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.
Great stuff indeed.
What a great app!
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.
It works again
The new version has a more elegant design and more texts than the old, and a choice of fonts — every student of Greek should download this app. To be spared the tedium and distraction of dictionary page-flipping alone is worth the price — wait, it’s free! I’m so grateful to its developers
Response from developer
Many thanks for the updated review! Glad you like it.
Amazing resource
I just discovered this (though I've used and enjoyed the awesome Logeion app) and have to thank the developers for making it freely available. What a great resource.
Response from developer
Many thanks for the nice words, and for the immediate review of the new version! Hope you continue to enjoy it.
Fantastic
This will be really helpful for when I take Homeric next semster.
A Gift From The Gods!
I can't believe I just found this app. I've been collecting and reading OCTs and other hard-copy texts for over 40 years, the "Middle Liddell" at my elbow and the ponderous LSJ stationed on its own table across the room. They're not obsolete now - especially Commentaries - but I'll be doing most of my reading now with just my iPad mini on my lap. It's such a pleasure to read these authors unencumbered by two or three other books.
Since I hadn't read any Attic in a while, I tried the app out by reading one work each from Plato, Xenophon and Lysias. Yes, it crashes when switching screen orientation, but that's more of a endearing eccentricity than a real bug. Meanwhile, I have the font scaled to suit my aging eyes, and lose myself in the Greek, enjoying the easy access to the dictionaries.
Just wonderful. It will (optimistically) be two years before I run out of books I want to read. But I'd like to suggest that it might be nice to add in The Homeric Hymns, Lyric Poets, Xenophon's Hellenica and Memorabilia, and maybe Theocritus for a touch of Doric. Adding further texts seems to me the only way to improve this already extraordinary app.
Many thanks to those who conceived and made this superb tool.

Rough but amazing
The app is utterly fantastic - having the Perseus library with a better UI at your fingertips is worth the price of an iPad. There are things that I wish it did, and some bugs I wish would be fixed, but with all of its imperfections it's hard to exaggerate how useful I find it.
Bug: It crashes hard when changing screen orientations.
Problems: iPhone support would be a huge win. The font isn't bad, but it could be better. More text, of course!
Opportunity: I'd pay lots of money to have the full Liddell & Scott integrated, or one (or more) of the Homeric lexicons. It's probably a pipe dream, but I'd pay more than the cost of the print lexicons without blinking.

a wonderful app
This app is an amazing gift to students and readers of Ancient Greek. It works as advertised: tap a word and Attikos will parse it for you. If you want more details you can get dictionary entries from LSJ etc via another tap and Logeion window.
It comes with a good set of texts that most people will need one time or another.
It is truly stellar work and everyone interested in Greek literature should have it.

Perfect Companion for a Classics Student
I will admit that the main reason I bought an iPad was for this app, simply amazing. Perfect for quickly looking up a word or searching several dictionaries for a more comprehensive definition. Like Perseus but wrapped up into a much more stable environment, and mobile! I don't know how I lived without this app. Made my semester with the Bacchae much less painful and include slightly less tears (unfortunately it won't take midterms or finals for you).
One thing though, I'd love some Aristotle (preferably De Interpretatione and Categories) but right now the list is amazing.
Thanks a million!

Great Greek App!
This is a great app for reading Greek! Incredibly convenient!
Excellent App
I am a beginning Greek reader, and this is the most helpful app for working through texts in conjunction with my class work. I strongly recommend for anyone interested in Greek texts. The value for price is astounding!
