New Testament Greek Vocabulary
$1.75About New Testament Greek Vocabulary
Version 2.0 Notes:
IMPORTANT - This is a complete rewrite of the app so learning progress will be lost. You may want to install this release separately if that is important.
New Features - Several new learning modes including Quiz mode, Game mode and Flashcards. There are also settings to only do small amounts of random words in Quiz and Game modes. Progress can be tracked in the progress screen which shows charts of your learning progress. Learning can now be reset as well.
This is the premier software for learning the vocabulary for New Testament Greek (Koine). The app features nearly 800 words which comprises 89% of the written text. (The remaining 11% is comprised primarily of names which are easy to read once you learn the vocabulary).
The app is divided into 8 Lessons which are sorted by word frequency. Lesson I covers the most basic words and Lesson VIII the most difficult. Each Lesson saves it's own progress so when you exit and come back, you start learning right where you left off.
The learning engine we have designed keeps track of what you know and what you do not know. It feeds words back to you in intervals to optimize learning. If you miss a word, it will appear more frequently. Once you have answered it correctly a few times, it is marked as learned.
NOTE: The app assumes the ability to read the Greek alphabet, at least on a basic level. The app does not currently cover any grammar, as it is designed explicitly for building vocabulary, but a separate app covering grammar is in the works.

This program does not work. If you attempt to contact it displays a 404 error message. This is a waste of your money and could be a scam. Do not waste your time or money.

I wish they would build one with the most common words based on occurrence or translate a pasage

After the first time I had the same font errors others mentioned. I guess the fix didn't quite fix it.

The app worked for 20 minutes. When I went to use it again, none of the greek fonts worked and all I saw was {{prompttxt}} in place of Greek characters in the "study mode" of the app. I hope the developer is able to fix the app otherwise it doesn't work and, unfortunately, I cannot recommend anyone spend the money on it. I will revise my rating if the developer fixes the problem.

Not worth $10, I think. The vocabulary training does not help you learn the principle parts of the verbs, which means you don't really learn the verbs. For instance, you learn λαμβάνω, which does not help you recognize ἔλαβον as aorist instead of imperfect. The multiple choice testing also can be weak - often all the words except one can be eliminated by grammar, plus the word is considered "learned" quite quickly, so I'm not sure how well it helps you commit it to long term memory. Something more like Babbel's learning engine would work better - having the repeat the words a few days later before it is considered "learned". Finally, the look of the app is not optimized for tablets. The real advantage of this app is that it is far more thorough than most other apps, as it contains nearly all of the NT vocabulary. If you stick with it, you'll build a pretty solid foundation, with the exception of the verbs. Edits, June 6 2013: A few other problems popped up. The lessons don't seem to complete - I can't get past 96% complete, no matter how much I do the words. Also, the support link in the app is dead - it leads to page that can't be found.

Like others, I had the app working at first, but then it inexplicably stopped. Now it just displays things like {{ prompttxt }} where the Greek should be.
