### 5/5 — Genial

*2026-02-22, version 5.1.0*

Leider wahrscheinlich völlig unbekannt

### 5/5 — Incredible resource

*2020-08-31*

An incredibly helpful learning tool for classics + literature students, many great translations organised neatly and easy to use. Developers done a wonderful thing with this app!

Let’s hope further editions for classic authors are developed. Andreas Divus’ Latin translation of Homer? Further apps for the likes of Virgil or Ovid?

### 5/5 — Pavch17

*2020-08-23, version 4.0.2*

Εξαιρετικό, συνεχίστε και με άλλα έργα!

### 1/5 — Distracted By Ads

*2015-01-17, version 3.1.1*

This would be a better app if the Ads were not included. Immediately I am distracted from the text. And worst of all, their use illustrates a tital lack of respect for the work, the artists and the genre. One star is too much.

### 5/5 — Καταπληκτική!

*2014-04-05, version 3.0.3*

Εχω την δωρεαν έκδοση αλλα ειναι πολυ καλη και μου δίνει την ευκαιρία να διαβάσω όμηρο όπου καν αν βρίσκομαι. Θα ήθελα να μεγαλώνει η γραμματοσειρά.

### 5/5 — Γαματο!!! :)

*2014-01-30, version 3.0.2*

Πολλή καλό...

### 1/5 — Not very useful

*2013-11-02, version 3.0.2*

I got this to study the Ancient Greek version, so that's the only part I'm reviewing. This is woefully incomplete. Even very basic features are lacking, such as:
* searching;
* translation lookup;
* interlinear translation;
* highlighting/notes;
* rapid navigation within a book--it takes a lot of scrolling to get to line 800, for example. 

Until this app becomes something more than a simple scrape of data from more suitable Web sites, it doesn't deserve more than one star.

### 4/5 — Εναλλαγή κειμένων

*2013-10-04, version 3.0*

Για να γίνει πιο προσιτό, καλό θα ήταν να μπορούσες με ένα tab όταν διαβάζεις το αρχαίο κείμενο να σε παραπέμπει στο ίδιο σημείο στην μετάφραση ή στο αγγλικό κείμενο.
Κατά τ' άλλα είναι εξαιρετικό.

### 5/5 — Εξαίρετη Εφαρμογή

*2013-02-15, version 2.0*

Πολύ καλή η προσπάθεια σου Περικλή, συγχαρητήρια. Μια παράκληση μόνο, δεν ξέρω αν και κατα το πόσο είναι εφικτή η προσαρμογή της εφαρμογής στην οθόνη 4ων ιντσών του καινούριου μοντέλου της Apple iPhone 5. Ευχαριστώ εκ των προτέρων και καλή συνέχεια σου εύχομαι.

### 5/5 — Συγχαρητήρια

*2012-11-30, version 2.0*

Καταπληκτική δουλειά και πολύ όμορφη εφαρμογή  για μικρούς και μεγάλους!
