FlashGreek PRO - HD Flashcards

The app needs serious work. It could use modern spaced repetition, and better, more professional and up to date, pronunciation—no one, except perhaps those at certain seminaries, thinks Erasmian is the way to go. The images are not always clear what in the image the Greek word refers to, i.e, they are not specific enough. Sometimes they are distracting and misleading. The app has serious lag when selecting vocabulary sets. I wish I didn’t have to tap on flip. The app does not seem as polished as other Greek apps out there/the ui and functionality often seems dated and has a 90s/early 2000s feel. 3 stars for being able to select vocab by book/letter AND range of chapters. No one else has that, well done. Also for the wide selection of grammars to go along with. Also, the immense customization in the options. If I couldn’t turn off the images, the sound, the English Bible verses (I’d rather they were in Greek), and I couldn’t select vocab by book and chapter, I’d give it 2 stars. But making it so that it is so customizable is the reason why I keep using it, even if it doesn’t seem as polished as other apps out there.

This app is very versatile and most definitely worth the small charge for it. It not only allows you to customize your vocabulary lists a number of different ways but includes ways to remember the words that are helpful and intuitive. I only have one suggestion at this point, but it’s a big one for me. As it is you can select vocabulary by books of the Bible right down to the chapter. This is a great feature but it only shows the vocabulary below 50 words. I use a readers edition of the Greek New Testament which includes definitions for words that occur less than 30 times. It would be awesome if we could customize to have all the words in a book or chapter that occur more than 30 times, between 30 to 50 times or even better to just be able to dictate what frequency were looking for within any given text.

This is the most comprehensive Greek app out there. I purchased several apps before this one and one of the best features is how it sorts the information. It works with several popular Greek textbooks so I could follow along with the lessons in my Wallace textbook, it also sorts vocab by frequency used in the Bible so I could learn that way and even more astounding it sort by book of the Bible. So even now, two years outside of Greek class I use it to refresh before I translate. For example, I choose all words with 50 or less frequency in 2Peter, Chapter 2 and review the flash cards before I translate. This app is amazing and helps me to continue to grow outside of the classroom. I cannot speak highly enough about it.
