### 5/5 — Title too long - everything else perfect

*2020-07-03*

Would be brilliant if the keyboard name can be shortened. On my iPhone, this keyboard causes the language selection menu to fill ip the whole screen.

### 5/5 — Excellent for Ancient Greek

*2019-10-20*

Please keep this updated. Thank you!

### 5/5 — Loved it - s doesn't change at the end

*2019-05-19*

I loved this app. It makes typing ancient greek much easier. However, the letter σ doesn't always change when it is at the end of a word. It works sometimes but most of the time it remains σ.  Will you please fix this bug asap? Greatly appreciated!

### 5/5 — Great app

*2017-08-13*

Easy to use - has really helped me with my studies in Ancient Greek to create flash cards and paradigms on my phone and iPad.

### 5/5 — Great Keyboard!

*2017-07-22*

This is the best keyboard to support polytonic Greek that I have found. Love the layout. Entering diacritics is a breeze. Thank you so much!

**Developer response:** Thanks for the review.  Glad you like it!

### 3/5 — Very nice - but how do you change σ to ς (I got this one from another keyboard)???

*2024-08-12*

Very nice - but how do you change σ to ς (I got this one from another keyboard)???

### 3/5 — “α” “γ” “ω” keys are finnicky

*2020-01-07*

I like the keyboard design and layout, and was getting used to typing the diacritics after the letter (different from my phone’s Greek keyboard), but some keys do not respond even when they look like you’ve pressed them. So if you press the alpha, the key will change color to look as if it registered, but the letter won’t show up. Very frustrating when you’re using Quizlet for vocab and it keeps marking you wrong because a letter is missing! Please please fix this, there’s really no other keyboard for iPadOS!

### 3/5 — Needs more work

*2019-09-05*

Please fix these errors: Ῑ̓́ ᾱ́ ῡ̓ Ᾱ̓̀ Ῡ̓ 

The macron is great when used alone, but if you add an accent, it moves to the side.

### 4/5 — Almost perfect

*2022-11-16*

I love this keyboard tool. My only complaint is that sometimes I have to hit a key more than once to make the corresponding character appear on the screen. But to be able to actually type in Ancient Greek without using a special font, this is a very minor concern. 

εὐχαριστέω πολύ

### 4/5 — Love it!

*2020-12-01*

At last, I am able to type in polytonic Greek! Overall I gave it a four-star rating because, truthfully, the app is a little “cumbersome” but it does its job. There’s only one small problem, and that is the issue of the one accent that’s supposed to look like a ~ above the vowel, but instead just looks like a half-moon arc. Your testing feature in the app has the squiggly version, and it seems to come out correctly here ᾶ, but I can’t get it to work when I am typing in iMessage or Facebook Messenger or even in iNotes. Do I have to download a specific font? Please advise.Also, would it be possible to program it so that after I type the first capital letter, the keyboard immediately defaults back to lower-case? Perhaps you can put a double-tap to turn on a caps-LOCK feature, and a single-click would be a simple shift to a one-letter capitalization. Thank you for providing this very useful tool!

### 4/5 — Hoplite Polytonic Keyboard

*2020-10-13*

I really like the layout and this is a wonderful tool to have - there is nothing else like it. It is far better than the default greek keyboard as it has numerous accents and features, however; there are some buggy letters such as the sigma, which does not change when at the end of a word which could do with being fixed. I think if these small bugs are fixed, this app will be truly amazing.

### 4/5 — Very easy to use

*2018-06-03*

This keyboard works well, is easy to type diacritics, and doesn’t take up too much screen real estate. The only thing I found that it’s missing is a semicolon key so I can properly mark questions in Koine.

**Developer response:** Press the caps lock key to see the semicolon (question mark) key.  There is no room on the lowercase screen, sadly.  Thanks for the feedback.

### 4/5 — Clicky

*2018-05-20*

I shouldn't comlplain because this is both excellent and free. But I can't use it when I need to be silent: even though I have Keyboard Clicks turned off in iOS prefs and my iPad volume set to off, Hoplite keyboard produces a click sound at every touch. Please make it possible to turn this sound off. I would gladly pay for that. Otherwise, Thank You!

**Developer response:** Thanks for the feedback.  I will look into this for the next version.

### 5/5 — Συμβατότητα με πληκτρολόγια

*2024-04-08, version 1.2*

Θα χρησίμευε εάν υπήρχε η δυνατότητα χρήσης του σε συσκευές με πληκτρολόγια (iPad με εξωτερικό επιτραπέζιο πληκτρολόγιο), γιατί προς το παρόν γίνεται μόνον με το απτικό πληκτρολόγιο η χρήση των πνευμάτων κ.λπ.

### 5/5 — Fantastic

*2024-02-06*

It’s free and gives you a perfect tool for writing in Ancient Greek, which neatly slots in with the rest of your keyboards. The letters are recognised by most websites (but sadly not Perseus). Great app. Highly recommend.

### 5/5 — El mejor teclado de griego politónico

*2024-01-02*

Me gusta mucho. Aunque los diacríticos se ponen al revés que en español, uno se acostumbra.

### 5/5 — Ὑπέροχο

*2023-10-18, version 1.2*

Βάζει τοὺς τόνους καὶ τὰ πνεύματα, ὅπως ἀκριβῶς γράφουμε, δηλαδὴ πρῶτα τὰ γράμματα καὶ μετὰ οἱ τόνοι καὶ πνεύματα.

### 5/5 — Great app for writing Greek with all the accents

*2023-10-09*

This is a great app for writing Greek with all the accents. I needed a Greek keyboard on my phone so that I could type the answers to the flash cards with the proper accents. This app allowed me to do so and it was worth the cost. The keyboard also includes the ancient letters if you ever needed them, like when using Greek letters for numbers. Highly recommend!

### 5/5 — Excellent

*2023-06-11*

I’m learning Koine Greek and this keyboard has been awesome for typing out vocabulary and practice on my phone. Great work!

### 5/5 — Great!

*2022-09-22*

This is exactly what I need to make flash cards.
It would be great if the problem with σ at the end of a word could be corrected. In an app like OneNote it changes, but in an app like this review (or my flash card app) λεγοσ it does not change the ending σ.

### 5/5 — 非常好

*2021-05-13*

安卓手机和ipad都可以，找了很久古希腊语输入法。非常棒，感谢🙏

### 5/5 — So helpful!

*2021-02-16, version 1.2*

Thank you so much for this. I would love it if by any chance there was an autocorrect system for any typos! Again many thanks

### 5/5 — 独一无二的polytonic希腊语键盘

*2020-11-06*

希腊语键盘不少，但是能找到像这样打出pokytonic的却很少！这个键盘解决了很多学习古希腊语学者的问题！推荐古希腊语学习者和爱好者必备！
