### 4/5 — Can we get an update?

*2021-02-26*

I love this app and use it almost every day. But it’s over four years old and not optimized for any of the newer phones from the last three years. It still runs in letterboxed format on any phone from the iPhone 10 or later. Can we get an update?

**Developer response:** Hi, Please use Logeion problem reports to request a sneak preview of the update.

### 5/5 — Great app for Greek interpretation

*2020-12-06*

I find this app great for writing essays on style and interpretation as it gives so many examples and meanings from different sources, however I would love an update allowing for a full sized keyboard on iPhone X and newer and also a dark mode if possible

**Developer response:** Update is out, finally! Thank you for your patience.

### 5/5 — Life-changing

*2020-09-08*

As an alphabetically challenged Latin and Greek nerd, I use this app every day. I can’t believe it’s free and has no ads! So much faster than looking things up in a paper dictionary, and I absolutely love all the examples from different texts.

The only problem is that it’s very easy to click by accident on the wrong word from the suggestions list, and end up in an entry about a bizarre word that shows up once in extant literature when you just wanted to see if amo has a long or short a.

### 4/5 — Excellent

*2019-08-03, version 2.0*

Excellente application mais on aimerait beaucoup pouvoir utiliser le dictionnaire dans l’autre sens (de l’anglais en grec)!

### 5/5 — Classics to go.

*2019-02-27, version 2.0*

Although it can be a little difficult to navigate at times because of the huge volume of data it contains, Logeion is an excellent resource. It loads quickly (iPhone 8), runs reliably, and has a full database of Latin and Ancient Greek, including the invaluable DMLBS (Mediæval Latin). I still prefer a bound-and-printed dictionary, but Logeion is nevertheless an invaluable resource for classicists, philologists, philosophers, priests, anyone who encounters Latin and Greek with moderate frequency.  Even better, it doesn’t need an internet connexion to run!

### 5/5 — Excelente

*2018-12-15, version 2.0*

Me encanta esta app 💙

### 5/5 — Great!!

*2018-07-09, version 2.0*

Ottima app per chi studia greco e latino e vuole avere i vocabolari delle due lingue sempre a portata di mano. Comodo da usare, intuitivo!! Non ci sono costi e solo per questo meritate il massimo!!!

### 5/5 — Optime lexicon fecierunt!

*2018-01-04, version 2.0*

Excelent app for searching exactly and immediately words in Ancient Greek and Latin languages. Very useful.

### 5/5 — Shout out to Mr. Fab who told us about the app!

*2017-11-15*

Wink wink

### 5/5 — Absolutely Indispensable

*2017-11-13, version 2.0*

This app collects various dictionaries that, in the "analogue" world, would require me to have a pack animal accompany me if I wanted to walk around with them. The ease of use and convenience are unparalleled. Just be careful in class, lest it look like you're texting rather than figuring out the exact valence of a verb in the middle!

### 5/5 — Key resource for all Classics students

*2017-11-08*

First rate content and design. Trustworthy information beautifully presented. Thank you Logeion!!

### 1/5 — App crashes before opening

*2023-12-11*

The developer advises many of us to report the crash in the app, but for me, the app does not open. It starts, then crashes.  There’s no way for me to enter the information requested because the app does not open. I’m using the latest IOS

**Developer response:** hi, just to let you know that there is also a website: logeion.uchicago.edu. Never mind, though, the new version is now up in the app store. Thank you for your patience. Please report any further problems you encounter.

### 1/5 — Needs updating

*2023-11-19*

This was a great app but now it crashes on the lastest IOS. Please update!

**Developer response:** Hi, Please use Logeion problem reports to get a sneak preview of the update, like those who reported it to us directly.

### 1/5 — iOS 17

*2023-11-16, version 2.0*

This app no longer works with iOS 17.

### 1/5 — Doesn't work with ios17

*2023-11-06*

Since i have downloaded ios17 this app stopped working.. It's a shame because it's a very usefull app.. Hooe you fix it

**Developer response:** Hi, Please use Logeion problem reports to get a sneak preview of the update, like those who reported it to us directly.

### 1/5 — No longer works

*2023-05-31*

The app doesn’t open with ios 16.4.1 or 16.5

**Developer response:** Hi, Please use Logeion problem reports to get a sneak preview of the update, like those who reported it to us directly.

### 1/5 — Makes no sense

*2017-11-10*

Layout is lazily made, everything is abbreviated and instead of the actual app being any use they lead you to a website. Extremely limited for simple words and almost impossible to use

**Developer response:** hi, we are always grateful for feedback, but it seems your expectations of what this app might do and what we intend it to do are different things. If you are interested in learning more, please read the About page, or let us know through a problem report what exactly the problems are that you are having. One important point: the Logeion iOS app gives access to dictionary entries, so words must be looked up in the dictionary citation form. For example, vir, not virum, viro, viri, etc. The website does allow lookup of inflected words, but that would make the app three times as big again.

### 2/5 — OPTIMISE IT for iPhone 6, please

*2015-04-26, version 1.1*

A very good and useful app, well realised. It deserves 5 stars! However, it must be optimised for the iPhone6 screen...

### 3/5 — Fantastic, until it started crashing

*2023-10-05*

I use Logeion constantly on the web. Partly because about a year ago the app started crashing on both my iPad and iPhone. I love it immensely, but I really wish that it would work in ios again. Yes, my software is up to date. My iPad Pro is older, but it also fails on my iPhone 14 Pro. 

But I love it enough to tell you to give it a try and be delighted if it works on your device. If it doesn’t, you should still use the web version. 

As a Latin instructor I love the ability to show my students examples of how a word actually works in context using the usage examples. Rather than drag the giant OLD or Lewis (and Short) into the classroom I can just throw this on the board and model how to use a dictionary (and how wrong their textbook is at times, “Me, see, I told you this word is almost never found in existing texts, see that, ‘fewer than 50’.). I also love the concordance to commonly used Latin textbooks such as Learn to Read Latin or, shudder, Wheelock.

I love this app so much that I have not removed it from my devices in the faint hopes it will be updated and start working again. Please let this be so. Are offerings required? To Mercury? Minerva? Thoth? Hermes Trismegistos? Do Tell!

**Developer response:** Hi, Please use Logeion problem reports to get a sneak preview of the update, like those who reported it to us directly. Offerings welcome:-)

### 3/5 — No iPhone X support

*2019-04-12*

Please support the iPhone X screen!

### 4/5 — Just for reference

*2022-11-25, version 2.0*

It works fine as a Latin dictionary for reference. It shows the word’s frequency rank. It would be great to list the most frequent words in Latin, this would be especially helpful for new learners.

### 5/5 — It works!

*2026-02-02*

And this app is great.

### 5/5 — Terrific app

*2025-10-12, version 3.3*

Very well suited to iPad reading. Naturally Attikos should be downloaded alongside it.

### 5/5 — Hoc mihi placet

*2025-02-19*

Bonus Latin dictionarium

### 5/5 — complete

*2025-01-27*

contains liddell-scott and lewis-short dictionaries, in a robust professional app.  and IT’S FREE!  as a classicist, I can’t imagine better;  as a man, I can’t understand a negative review of this resource.

### 5/5 — Amazing

*2024-06-27*

Great source of information, if someone can explain the frequency rank what does it mean? 

Thank you

### 5/5 — Finally an update!

*2024-01-06*

You guys are the best! Thanks for the update! I highly recommend this app, I use it all the time to look up Greek words.

### 5/5 — Thank you for keeping updated!

*2024-01-05*

Thank you for the recent update making Logeion usable again! It’s the best platform for accessing Classics dictionaries on iOS. I really enjoy offline access for reading on the go, the dual functionality for Latin and Greek, and the choice of dictionaries.

### 5/5 — THANK YOU FOR THE UPDATE

*2024-01-05, version 3.1*

🙏

### 5/5 — Ottima app!

*2021-12-18, version 2.0*

Studio latino da ormai 3 anni e devo ammettere che questa applicazione si è rivelata molto ulive, intuitiva e comoda. La consiglio!

### 5/5 — Great app, but

*2021-02-01, version 2.0*

It's an awesome app, but it would be great if it had updated.
