Could you read the New Testament in its original Greek? KoineQuest doesn't just teach you the words — it shows you exactly how close you are — word by word, book by book. HOW IT WORKS Play quick, retro pixel-art rounds through the New Testament, chapter by chapter. Every word you master raises one number that matters: how much of the actual Greek text you can now read. MY PROGRESS — Watch your reading coverage grow across all 27 books, from Matthew to Revelation. "You can read 43% of John" hits different than a test score. MY WORDS & REVIEW — Every word you've studied is collected and ready to review in smart order: the ones you're still learning first, then the ones quietly slipping away. Tap any word for its full card — all its forms, its meaning, and how often it appears in the New Testament. PRACTICE YOUR MISTAKES — Missed words become their own practice list. Loop them until they stick. No lives, no pressure. DAILY STREAKS — Three minutes a day keeps your Greek alive. An optional reminder has your back before a streak breaks. MONTHLY QUEST — Pick a pixel avatar and climb a fresh leaderboard every month with learners around the world. TWO DIRECTIONS, THREE DIFFICULTIES — Recognize Greek → English, or prove real recall with English → Greek. From first-semester student to seminary review. Fully available in English and Portuguese. Start free with the complete First Epistle of John — real biblical text, not a demo. Unlock more books as your quest grows. Whether you're starting seminary, taking your first Greek class, or simply want to meet the Word in its own language: the text that shaped millennia is closer than you think. Sola gratia.

Verdict
The clearest difference is update cadence: Koine Quest at every 5 days against Sextet's every 9 months. Koine Quest also leads on ratings volume (16 vs 1). Sextet's advantage is rating (5.0 vs 4.6) and monetization model (free vs free with in-app purchases). On price, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Both are free to download. Koine Quest sells 17 one-off in-app purchases and Sextet sells 3 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
Sextet holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.6. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Koine Quest has 16 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 80% of Koine Quest's written reviews are positive against 100% of Sextet's.
Koine Quest ships an update every 5 days, Sextet every 9 months. The most recent releases landed on October 1, 2026 and October 7, 2026 respectively.
