Doesn't work
Downloaded this and just hot the same screen displayed in the description. Not moving. Does nothing. .99 is nothing but this is nonetheless a waste of .99!
Disappointed!
Very basic...not worth the money. I was hoping there would be audio content so I could hear the correct pronunciation, but there isn't hence my 1 star rating.
Wont even come up
It won't even start on my ipod
Helpful - but could be improved.
I find this app helpful but it can be improved in a couple of different areas.
1. There should be a palm card section type thing. Where you press a button and then a card shows up with the Greek letter in capital and lower case and you need to guess what it is. You then tap the screen and the card flips and reveals the answer.
2. You shouldn't have to go through it one after the other, there should be a menu where you can choose what letter/number you want.
3. There should be a replay button. This button should then replay the sound of the selected number/letter when you press it instead of going back and forth.
4. As well as the phonics for the letters there should also be the pronunciation of the name of the letter in English, I do realize it is in Greek and this is somewhat helpful for remembering letters etc. so maybe you could have a menu selecting what pronunciation you want?
Am looking forward to these things being implemented in the future!
- Ownd.

Just know what you
You are paying a buck for a recording of the Greek alphabet.
Strengths:
-He's a native speaker
Weaknesses:
- Audio definitely recorded on a computer mic, it's o-k-a-y…
- Only has a male voice. A lady speaker please?
- Has no index menu for the letters -- that's right, if you want to hear a letter, you'll have to go through them all again.
- Has no repeat button. To hear a letter again, you'll have to go back, then go forward again. Yes, seriously.
- Uses a slow flipping animation (really, how many sides of this "page" are there?) between letters that robs you of your life, it could at least be sped up
- No IPA, English pronunciation, or other detailed description of what he's saying. Beta sounds like "vleetuh" when he says it but underneath he has only written "VE as in Venus" -- what does he mean?
- No playback speed mode
- No writing trainer for the letters
- No quizzing system
- No ability to record yourself and compare
- No example words
Overall, as an alphabet trainer it's far behind others for Japanese, Arabic, Russian, etc. A bit disappointing and a poor investment of a dollar for it's current featureless state and lack of even basic controls (index, replay).
