    This app has completely changed the way I read Greek. I love its uncluttered, streamlined interface. The seamless interaction with Logeion is brilliant. Keep up the amazing work, and huge thanks for making this fantastic app available.

    The new version has a more elegant design and more texts than the old, and a choice of fonts — every student of Greek should download this app. To be spared the tedium and distraction of dictionary page-flipping alone is worth the price — wait, it’s free! I’m so grateful to its developers
  • Amazing resource

    I just discovered this (though I've used and enjoyed the awesome Logeion app) and have to thank the developers for making it freely available. What a great resource.

    I can't believe I just found this app. I've been collecting and reading OCTs and other hard-copy texts for over 40 years, the "Middle Liddell" at my elbow and the ponderous LSJ stationed on its own table across the room. They're not obsolete now - especially Commentaries - but I'll be doing most of my reading now with just my iPad mini on my lap. It's such a pleasure to read these authors unencumbered by two or three other books. Since I hadn't read any Attic in a while, I tried the app out by reading one work each from Plato, Xenophon and Lysias. Yes, it crashes when switching screen orientation, but that's more of a endearing eccentricity than a real bug. Meanwhile, I have the font scaled to suit my aging eyes, and lose myself in the Greek, enjoying the easy access to the dictionaries. Just wonderful. It will (optimistically) be two years before I run out of books I want to read. But I'd like to suggest that it might be nice to add in The Homeric Hymns, Lyric Poets, Xenophon's Hellenica and Memorabilia, and maybe Theocritus for a touch of Doric. Adding further texts seems to me the only way to improve this already extraordinary app. Many thanks to those who conceived and made this superb tool.

    The app is utterly fantastic - having the Perseus library with a better UI at your fingertips is worth the price of an iPad. There are things that I wish it did, and some bugs I wish would be fixed, but with all of its imperfections it's hard to exaggerate how useful I find it. Bug: It crashes hard when changing screen orientations. Problems: iPhone support would be a huge win. The font isn't bad, but it could be better. More text, of course! Opportunity: I'd pay lots of money to have the full Liddell & Scott integrated, or one (or more) of the Homeric lexicons. It's probably a pipe dream, but I'd pay more than the cost of the print lexicons without blinking.
  • a wonderful app

    This app is an amazing gift to students and readers of Ancient Greek. It works as advertised: tap a word and Attikos will parse it for you. If you want more details you can get dictionary entries from LSJ etc via another tap and Logeion window. It comes with a good set of texts that most people will need one time or another. It is truly stellar work and everyone interested in Greek literature should have it.
  • Great Greek App!
