Dictionary Greek English app good for
Possibility to use different dictionaries at the same time when searching for specific words
This is a great app that has seriously reduced the amount of time it takes me to read or write anything in Greek. Its way faster than a dictionary and more accurate than google translate alone. It works best with a data connection because the dictionary itself requires the accent, accurate spelling, and most importantly the basic or original form of the word to locate it. The great thing is that it lets you compare what google and bing translate would also come up with which is great if you are either unsure of the spelling or accent or if it just isnt in the dictionary. All in all, Id recommend it. The only thing I wish it had is a "did you mean" function for us lousy spellers the same way Google translate does.
For Greek language students and those enjoying Greek vocabulary this is a fantastic tool. The vocabulary is extensive enough to make it well worth the small fee. You have a wonderful dictionary in your phone!
Very good application. I use the app with my Modern Greek II class and find the app is very useful. The program translates form English to Greek and Greek to English. It remembers the terms or phrases you look up, which makes writing translations fun.
Μπορώ να χρησιμοποιήσω το εργαλείο για να μεταφράσει ελληνικά μου ως εργαλείο μελέτης για να μάθουν και να χρησιμοποιούν τη γλώσσα των Ελλήνων να μιλούν και να γράφουν σε ένα πρακτικός τρόπος.
Translation:
I use the tool to translate my Greek as a study tool to learn and use the language of Greek to speak and write in a pragmatical way.
On a side-note, I am starting to be able to do my study notes in English, Greek, and Latin for my college Psychology courses and Anthropology courses. I can type at the same speed in words per minute in both English and Ελληνικά.

I know ancient Greek well, but I know (only) some modern Greek.
Knowing the fundamentals of the Greek language from studying ancient at the undergraduate level has granted me the ability to understand then when verbs in this app are listed in an almost infinitive form ( i.e. Γνοριζω listed as "know" where a true infinitive form is "to know."), whereas they should be listed according to the nomitive and/or first singular indication. (I.e. Γνοριζω literally means "I know.") The ω (omega) ending of a word is indicative of first singular, εις as second singular, and ει as third singular. These being I, you, he/she/it endings. The spoon fed form of words in this lexicon for anyone χόρις (without) a basic understanding of Greek grammar would potentially cause rather large grammatical errors and misuse of the Greek language as a whole. This is perhaps something to examine in the next version, such as a separate listing of verb endings in the indicative, aorist, imperative, infinitive moods, etc.
In all other respects this is an excellent starting lexicon and a handy functional tool to have on any apple device. It has helped me in more than one tricky conversation while in Greece.
I was also thoroughly impressed with how comprehensive it is for such an excellent price. Certainly received more than my moneys worth. Ευχάριστο πολύ προς σας για αυτό!!
Great app, I use it frequently. The only addition that would make it perfect is if I could search the word in Greek without always including an accent on the vowels. Worth a buy though!
Some bad moments
This dictionary does not show the gender of Greek words, it is unacceptable.
The range of words translated is quite limited, many common words are missing.
I do not recommend to buy that dictionary.
The app looks useful however it doesnt translate full sentences or pronoun citations in Greek are not available
.... I wish I could get my money back
I was very disappointed in this app as the pronounciation did not work. I recommend looking for another product.
I hate the new format... Why fix it if its not broken? I bought this app because I liked it and the way it was formatted and then BAM its completely different. I found it much more user friendly than now. I am searching for a different app now.
Previously ... I loved it. Cant you take us back? I would have given it 5 stars!
This app is very basic and does not have enough vocabulary to help you read an average newspaper or modern book.
I found it to be very disappointing and would not recommend it as the app of choice if you plan to do some real modern Greek reading.
To the point this app is not working it is freezing up.
To the point I would like my money back!!!!
