## What is Biblical Greek  Vocabulary.?

Master the vocabulary of the Greek New Testament with a complete flashcard and spaced repetition study tool built for seminary students, pastors, and anyone working through a Biblical Greek textbook.

Vocabulary Matched to Your Textbook

The app includes word lists for six of the most widely used introductory grammars, organized by chapter so you can study exactly the vocabulary your course requires:

• Basics of Biblical Greek — William D. Mounce
• New Testament Greek for Beginners — J. Gresham Machen
• The Elements of New Testament Greek — Jeremy Duff
• Kairos: A Beginning Greek Grammar — Fredrick J. Long
• Introduction to the Study of New Testament Greek — James Swetnam
• New Testament Greek: An Introduction — James A. Hewett (rev. Robbins & Johnson)

Also included: the Top 1000 most frequently occurring words in the Greek New Testament, and a complete study guide for the Greek alphabet.

Study the Way You Learn Best

Choose from four study modes depending on where you are in the learning process:

• Guided Study — New to a word? Work through it in small batches. Each batch starts with a tap-to-flip flashcard introduction, then immediately quizzes you on that same set before moving on.
• Flashcards — Classic tap-to-reveal cards. Choose whether to show Greek or English first, and shuffle your deck.
• Quiz — Multiple-choice questions drawn from your deck, with immediate right/wrong feedback.
• Matching Game — Match Greek words to their English definitions by tapping tiles in two columns. Wrong guesses shake and clear; correct matches lock in green.

Smarter Review with Spaced Repetition

Every card you study is tracked using the SM-2 spaced repetition algorithm — the same system behind apps like Anki. The app schedules each word for review at precisely the right moment: not so soon that it wastes your time, and not so late that you've already forgotten it. Your Due Today queue shows all cards that need attention, sorted so the most overdue and hardest words come first.

Track Your Progress

The Progress dashboard gives you a clear picture of how your study is going:

• Total words learned and current study streak
• Daily goal with a circular progress indicator (customizable from 5–100 cards/day)
• Bar chart of your review activity over the past 7 days
• 30-day retention rate
• Trouble Words list — the 10 words you've gotten wrong the most, with quick links to drill them directly

A Word of the Day appears on the home screen each morning, drawn from the top 1,000 New Testament words.

Custom Review Lists

Create your own named lists and save any word to them as you study. Ideal for building a personal "words to watch" list or preparing for an exam.

Search

Full-text search across all vocabulary in the app — search by Greek word or English meaning.

Other Features

• Daily study reminder with a configurable notification time
• Adjustable Greek font size (28–72pt)
• Configurable quiz length (5–50 questions)
• Greek text displayed in Gentium Plus, a font designed by SIL International specifically for Biblical languages

### 5/5 — Best for NT Vocabulary

*2026-07-17*

The earlier version was great. This update is astounding.

### 1/5 — Crashes iPad

*2021-11-23*

Lesson 15 of Mounce flash cards crashes my iPad.  Also, my iPad won’t open the page to report a problem saying it is not secure.

### 5/5 — Bugs but great

*2017-03-25*

As noted before, ch 15 crashes in the Mounce flash cards. Also, ch 26 crashes as well. Once these glitches are fixed, the app would be (almost) perfect! The only other improvement I would recommend would be to allow bookmarking so that when you close the app and reopen, you are brought to the flash card you left off on. 
Thanks for a great app!

### 3/5 — Great app but some bugs

*2015-12-31*

Minor bugs but very helpful app. Wrong definition for one of the words (in Mounce lesson 11) so be sure to check against another source before memorizing.

### 3/5 — Bugs

*2015-11-11*

Crashed while using the app too often. Please fix. Especially for a paid item..do it asap

### 5/5 — Bug report

*2015-10-07*

There's a bug that causes the app to crash. When you click "Chapter 15" in mounts it crashes every time. 

Other than that great app! Thanks!

### 4/5 — Very easy to use, simple and effective

*2015-02-06*

Thank you for developing the Greek and Hebrew flash card programs. They are nice, clean and easy to use and I anticipate getting much benefit from them. I have previously been using Flashgreek Pro until I switched to using Machen's Grammer which is not supported. 

My reason for picking your app is that you support the grammars in Greek and Hebrew that my seminary is using.

As a help and thanks to you, I offer this review:

My likes:

Love the swipe and tap controls!
Being able to go back to previous cards in the list
Having a custom review list separate from chapter list 
Having frequency lists broken down into manageable 25 set chunks
Having an Alphabet section

My suggestions:

Add Audio pronunciation
Add ability to remove words individually from review list and/or have separate review list for each chapter as well as a master review list

Cool features to consider:

Pneumonic memorization suggestions option
Pictures to visually connect word to option
Add ability for app to learn what words I have most trouble with by using input from "correct/incorrect" buttons

I think your app is good and with a few tweaks could be top of the line. Thank you again.

### 5/5 — Very good

*2014-12-22*

This app is perfect for students of biblical Greek using a standard textbook. Here are the pros: big clear Greek font; Greek font looks "real" (not the ugly curvy type); full and proper accents and marks; words which have gender are given in masculine, feminine, and neuter forms; intuitive interface. Two suggestions: Firstly, the app icon looks out of place in iOS 8 (something like Apple's Music app would be nice, i.e. Greek on a colorful background, rather than a notepad background). Secondly, add settings to control the font size for the English translations and to turn on/off the animation for Next. Thanks for a genuinely useful app.

### 5/5 — Perfect

*2014-08-25*

Love the app, it does and has exactly what it says with none of the fuss other apps have. My only suggestion is to add parsing or create another app so we can practice our Greek and Hebrew parsing.

## Version history (last 5 releases)

### 3.0 — 2026-05-01

This update brings a complete redesign of the study experience, centered around a built-in spaced repetition system (SRS). The app now tracks every word you've reviewed and automatically schedules it for follow-up at the right time — reviewing a word the moment you're about to forget it, not before. Your daily review queue appears front and center on the home screen, sorted by urgency so the words you're most likely to forget come first.

Study modes have been expanded significantly. In addition to classic flashcards and multiple-choice quizzes, there's now a Guided Study mode that walks you through new words in small batches — first presenting each word as a flip card, then immediately quizzing you on that batch before moving on. A Matching Game adds a fast-paced column-matching challenge to reinforce recognition under pressure. The new Progress dashboard gives you a full picture of your learning: words learned, your current study streak, a 7-day review chart, 30-day retention rate, and a Trouble Words list that surfaces the words you've gotten wrong most often so you can drill them directly.

### 1.3 — 2015-03-04

This app has been updated by Apple to display the Apple Watch app icon.

Minor fixes to review list features.

If you have any new features, books, or bugs, let me know so I can fix them!

### 1.2 — 2014-10-11

The following features have now been added:

Settings menu option - contains various settings, the ability to study in reverse (see the English, guess the Hebrew), and to turn off shuffling (helpful for learning the alphabet in order).  

All cards in a list of words can now be added to the review at once by clicking on the "Add All" button on a card inside of the lesson you would like to add to the review.  Multiple lessons can be added this way to review at once.
