Ratings and Reviews
I like it very much. Takes some getting used to.
I’d like it even better of the navigation were a bit smoother, and there were more words included in definitions traceable through the dictionary.
Would be good, too, to have verb tenses and moods included for verbs listed.
What I’ve had to get used to is what seems to me to be a bit eccentric when it comes to language dictionaries: the meaning and use of words in English are presented in Greek, and vice versa. As I am learning Greek, I would, of course, prefer a primarily English-based presentation of the Greek meanings and uses of English words. Having said that, I have found that some of this enforced Greek has advanced my learning of the language.
Still, I am finding this well worth the money ( I like the daily ‘new word’, though these are often weirdly esoteric, and the date of each new word doesn’t update correctly.)
A very good dictionary
There are some examples of usage where the full translation is not given, both for Greek and English. Further examples would be helpful. Generally very good, and a real boon that you can dictate the word rather than having to spell it out (using micro on Greek keyboard). I would give 4 and a half stars, because my only complaint is the lack of some translations and of examples. It is well worth the cost of the app, no question.
Indispensable
This is a fantastic and indispensable tool for any English speakers learning Greek or travelling in Greece, no matter what their level of knowledge. It is easy to use and extremely fast. It works equally well on my iPhone and iPad. OK, so it doesn't serve as a thesaurus or a grammar text book and for conjugations of verbs and declension of nous it should be used in conjunction with a good grammar text book. A word of warning: it is of no use if you do not have a sound knowledge of the Greek alphabet and script.
