iDoms Vocab

This app has great audio. It also implements an approach to learning that is effective.

I am learning Ancient Greek as an occasional hobbyist, and I have found this to be a terrific application. Very helpful to have the audio files for pronunciation (for the first several hundred words). I like that it will occasionally bring back words that were already learned, as a refresher. There's a little funkiness going on with the iCloud connection, which in theory should let me keep apace when using either my iPad or iPhone -- sometimes it seems to work but other times not. Overall this is great. I would like a similar app for homeric greek -- maybe it is in the works????

The app is ok, nothing fantastic but also not horrible. I bought the app for my iPad initially with the Greek New Testament and Hebrew flashcards but the app is going to make me buy them again to get them on my iPhone which I think is ridiculous so heads up all you people who use multiple platforms and make sure you figure out which one you really want. As far as the actual testing goes there is only the flashcard manner of learning. There isn't a multiple choice, reverse multiple choice, quiz, auto shuffle feature, or some of the other niceties that flashcards apps like gFlash offers. Also there isn't any way to add and/or modify cards. Some of the cards are either incorrect or just weird, for instance the Hebrew card yom (יום) has a mystery segol vowel preceding the word, מלך has a ה following it with a sheva under it and an "n" with the spanish looking circumflex accent above it. Also, I should note that there isn't any indication of gender with the Hebrew flashcards. One nice thing though is that the Hebrew verbs do include the qal, niphal, hiphil, and other binyanim verb forms where applicable.
