Ratings and reviews

Greek is my mother tongue. I have been speaking it since I was born. Now, I downloaded this app, because in greek schools we are taught our ancient language, and it is partly different than the new one. It lacks many basic words, that are found in texts really often. Recently I was doing an excersise about the ancient greek syntax, and I couldn't translate the sentences, cause the words weren't on the app. I understand that you cant know all of the words, but can you please update the list??

I know it's "ancient Greek" but can you add some lately words for us, please? From Byzantine period maybe. I see that I have to edit my review because I can't reply to a reply... I hope that you see my edited review. I understand that you can't edit the lexicon, but can you add a new work? Lampe's one maybe?

I've taken biblical Greek in college, and have used it in bible study since. I love the language. This app is helpful and easily useable. It allows you to search on the Greek word using an English keyboard. The results are pithy and relevant. Great app
