- Many works include a "word cloud" that show you all the top words in that book according to their frequency - its a beautiful way to explore a books themes at a glance.

- Ancient Greek also includes dozens of timeless quotes from the classical thinkers - just tap to see more!

Magna cum laude!

Best learning, reading, dictionary app for ancient greek!!

I use this app all the time

I use this app for the complete searchable LSJ, and inside the dictionary, I use it for the reverse English-Greek lookup. This feature alone makes it worth the price. A caution to the user - it wont give you EVERY word in the dictionary that could possibly be translated by your term in English; it only looks for the first English translation of each word. Still, this is invaluable, and this is the only app Ive found that has this function. A minor but persistent irritant: the final sigma, which should look like this - ς - is shown in this app as identical to an interstitial sigma - σ . Minor, but it gets to me. Id give this app 5 stars otherwise. However, its still highly usable, and useful, and presumably this will be corrected in a future release.

Great App!

This a great app, it speeds my work a lot, browsing the dictionary is now a lot faster and more comfortable than a paper version.

Quite good

The app works quite better than its competitors. Fully-searchable LSJ is undoubtedly the best feature. There are still minor issues with the output of greek sigma, which often appears in the wrong orthography. The amount of Greek texts is not particularly high. I regret the absence of several Euripidean tragedies and the majority of Platonic dialogues. It would be very useful to add the list of abbreviations of Greek Authors mentioned in LSJ. Good work, but some improvement is recommended.

Really Good

Must have for greek scholars. I hope it evolves towards inside-lemma text search, and ever more authors and masterpieces. Dont let our expectations down!

This app is fantastic

This app is very precise and so useful. It is definitely a good deal. Thank you thank you thank you!
