Easy and intuitive
Very glad I got this app. Works seamlessly with Bill Mounce’s Basics of Biblical Greek. Really like that you can hear the words pronounced along with seeing them.
Very helpful and could be better
This app really proved to be helpful for me in my seminary courses. The fact that I could specify word type and combine certain lessons together was awesome.
A few suggestions to make it better:
1. For nouns, take the article out of the card. Most seminary professors require you memorize the gender of the noun so having that on the answer side will allow the user to quiz themselves on that portion of it as well
2. The photo/pneumonic device function is good but it should be limited to the answer side
3. The app should allow me to “flag” certain words that are uniquely challenging for me so that I can craft a set based out of those in particular.

PLEASE ADD A BACK BUTTON
Hey guys, great app. I love practicing the core 320 words with ya’ll. Absolutely worth the investment. But please add a back button in the flash card sequence, so I can repeat difficult to pronounce words. Grateful!
Best App
Great learning tool. Makes the process so easy and entertaining at the same time. Even for old folks like me.
Fun
If you like Bible (koine) Greek this a a fun app to use.
Such an amazing resource
I love that you can customize the cards, and you can see the vocabulary used in context in a real passage of scripture; it really helps solidify the word and concept. Bill Mounce is the best; my Greek class uses his textbook that goes with this app. I can’t recommend it enough
A few modifications to the app would be great
So far I really like the app - it’s comprehensive and thorough. The mnemonics are hit or miss, but still helpful.
Some suggestions to the developer:
1. Would be great to be able to flip the card again once you flip it the first time. I want to be able to see the greek word to review again
2. Ability to go backwards after you have passed the current word would also be good.
3. Once you leave the app for a long time, the app does not save where you were last. This is inconvenient as I can’t pick up where I left off.
So far these just some inconveniences/potential for improvement I’ve found. Otherwise the App is helping me learn the greek words.

Great features and overall good.
This app appears to work great so far from my experience. I must admit I was a bit disappointed that the app was $5.99 and then 10 minutes into using the app I found out it was barely usable without also paying $2.99 for the pro version. It’s not that much money ofc, but it still felt a bit dishonest…

Excellent.
I began trying to study NT Greek and I hit a road block…how do I pronounce words and am I pronouncing them correctly? This app completely solves that problem. Thank you 👍
Review of FlashGreek
Awesome app!
😎

Lags
Great, but there a bugs when adjusting the range. There are so many options that it lags and you have to close the app.
Legit resource!
Dude, if your working through Biblical Greek, you need this app or something similar for sure!
Good not Great
The main bonus with this app is that it’s an app and available anywhere you take your phone. I use it exclusively to memorize vocabulary words from Bill Mounce’s 4th edition New Testament Greek. I find it mildly annoying that the definition on the app don’t always mirror the definitions found on the back of his flash cards or in the book. Sometimes word definitions are added or omitted, which is frustrating when you are trying to memorize precise definitions for a test. The other issue I found is that the words aren’t always pronounced accurately. For instance, when the app says Pneuma, which is the greek word for spirit, it does not pronounce the P. Mounce clearly states there are no silent letters in Greek. This makes me question other pronunciations, so I cant proceed with as much confidence as I should when using the app. So I use it, but only when the flash cards are not available.

Amazing app!
So user-friendly and helpful it’s ridiculous! Definitely helps make Greek less …Greek.
Very Helpful!
This App has been a great blessing to use as a study tool. The options of what to use or not..sound, pictures, repeat missed cards.
Good app missing some features
Great app, but there a couple things that I really would like to see a couple of features: (1) the ability to break up larger sets of words into smaller adjustable subsets for memory work. I like to memorise new words in groups of 10 (my brain is too old to start with the 20 or 30 word sets that are generated by the typical chapter) and (2) the ability to flip back to see the Greek word once I have flipped to see the English gloss. Currently you can’t flip back and forth and before selecting correct/incorrect. I’m a new user, so if I have somehow missed this functionality please correct me. The ability to control set size (other than when using the word frequency panel to filter down, which I find kludgey) would be huge for me.

Response from developer
Thanks for your rating and review. I hope in the new year to add the feature to flip back or “repeat” the current card. There isn’t currently a way to limit to 10, though I like the idea and will consider it for future. In the meantime, you can narrow to word types to reduce size of quizzes, as well as used the “more options” in the quiz settings and remove words that you’ve already answered correctly. Again, thanks for your helpful suggestions!
Useful app, needs a fix.
This app has been quite useful for me, definitely worth the buy. The only problem I hope the author will address is that certain flash cards will not turn over from Greek to English when I hit “flip”. I hope you will fix this.
Response from developer
Thanks for your rating and review. I’d you could send me details on the flip error you are encountering that would help me to identify and fix the issue
Good for learning Greek, App could be better
This app has helped me a lot so far in my Greek class, however I feel like the quality of the app aesthetically and interface-wise could be better considering it’s an app you have to purchase. Looks a little thrown together. Interface is a little clunky and confusing.
A few features that I think would be great:
- A button to flip between the Greek word and English word after you have pressed flip. Right now the only options are to press next, correct, or wrong.
- Save previous settings. Not that big of a deal, but I like to take out the images, examples, and auto-play recordings when learning the words. Wish it would remember my settings so didn’t have to change those every single time.

Hi, thanks very much for your review. Sorry the UI feels clunky, I actually just did a whole update on the UI, and paid for UI/UX experts :-) I like your 2 suggestions and will definitely keep them in mind for future. Thanks!
A couple important glitches
Glitch 1: When you press the play button on a flash card it will always skip back and pronounce the first word in the deck. Please make it pronounce the card that I was just looking at.
Glitch 2: When I select incorrect or correct please save this information in core data so I don’t have to go through the entire deck just to get to a card the cards I didn’t know.
Either way, thanks for making the app and God bless.

Hi UnoBodyJP, thanks for your review. If you could email me info on the first glitch, as I am unable to reproduce the issue. As for "glitch 2", this information is saved. If you look in the additional settings, you will see "Exclude Words if answered correctly" you can exclude words that you know well and have answered correctly often.
Excellent Study Tool
Danny, Thank you so much for including a landscape option for iPad as you promised. Your last update has improved the learning experience exponentially. Having the audio Greek and picture prompts has refreshed my enthusiasm as a student. Greek is difficult enough but your app has certainly given me hope for success. Again, many thanks. Kris
