LSJ Greek Dictionary for Android
Absolutely marvellous.
Very useful tool. But it keeps freezing and forcing a restart if I type five or more letters. I've been having to just type the first few letters of words and scroll to avoid this. Very annoying bug.
Simple to use and vast in content! Thank you!
Nice price. Useful learning tool.
Crashes hard when rotated between portrait and landscape and needs power off. Font small and ugly. Slow. Needs final form of sigma to recognize end of word. Hope it gets better, because I want it, but not worth buying now.
The recent addition of a backspace button to the inapp keyboard, has improved this app.
Older version was better it actually gave multiple definitions instead of only refrences with no definition, search worked better. now app is worthless to me
I love his app, granted I know nothing about how to design it, however It confuses me as to why you wouldn't have used standard beta-code greek keyboard layout. It confuses me as I mentally make the switch between this and other databases. Also some of the words are filed ackwardly. take for example "Dei" it is listed after the word "Deiv" when typically the word "Dei" would go before "Deiv" The alphabetical order does not make sense
The ability to use it offline and the recent addition of a backspace button to the inapp keyboard, have improved this app no end.
Seriously, I bought this app so I wouldn't have to go haul the 20 lb. LSJ out of the library, but your app won't load unless it can connect to the internet to "verify the license." I simply don't have mobile internet access everywhere I FRAKKIN GO!!!
I am new to the world of android and was excited to see an ancient Greek lexicon available on Google play. I have downloaded this app and have used it in my studies of ancient Greek texts. I cannot give a good review yet because of the following issues: 1) The search algorithm is in a primitive state. Most of the search is spent scrolling down on your own. 2) The interface seems simple, but is full of glitches. 3) It is not an offline dictionary.
I can use this on the subway with no signal, so I am happy about that, and this is vastly faster than my 130MB custom TOC PDF I built for my full LSJ PDF, however I am not happy with the fact that when I typed in "ἐθέλω", without the accents of course (ethelo for those without Greek character support), it doesn't find the word and shoots me way down at nearly the bottom of the epsilon word list, which is not fun. So far, other words are fine. If I type an epsilon and a theta, it sends me to epsilon psi entries, so it does not recognize epsilon followed by theta for some reason. I am not sure if there are others, but the "if it happens once it can happen many other times" principle is scary to me. Not good since that was literally the first word I looked up...
Much like its Latin counterpart, this app freezes and closes down virtually every time I open it. Beyond frustrating.
I bought this app so that when I was out of internet range (and couldn't access Perseus website) I could still check Greek definitions. But this app needs to check the license online EVERY SINGLE TIME IT LOADS. I am giving it two stars instead of one because the app itself is okay - though useless for the purpose I purchased it. It needs to be upgraded to take out the license checking.
Doesn't work at all anymore.
This app is one of the greatest resources available to any Ancient Greek student. It allows you to have the depth and detail of the LSJ, without the price and weight of the printed form. No issues with internet access (ie it works perfectly fine offline) on Samsung Galaxy S3
Far more convenient than a print dictionary. Worth it for anyone who reads Greek.
Just yes. Thanks for fixing swype compatibility. No more switching between keyboards!
Is lacking some entries present in the hard LSJ, and crashes periodically, otherwise a great app
Does what it says. Use the stock keyboard to avoid crashes. Full dictionary please!
Excellent app. Has everything I need at my fingertips and works great.
More than I thought, However not complete, but huge vocabulary database!
doesnt work without internet connection great on the move not
Don't know which is better the app or the cust'-serv'. Smooth app with near perfect functionality. Get it!
Love it.
This is outstanding! The developer is very responsive and helpful.
What can I say? This is a tremendous resource for me. Thanks to the developer for all the hard work!
Good! But I want to buy lsj full version not abridged.
As far as I can tell, the search only works out to 2 letters? If I write 'logos' it will give me all the 'lo' words, then make me scroll down to 'logos'. A pain.
