FlashGreek: Mounce edition

So far I really like the app - it’s comprehensive and thorough. The mnemonics are hit or miss, but still helpful. Some suggestions to the developer: 1. Would be great to be able to flip the card again once you flip it the first time. I want to be able to see the greek word to review again 2. Ability to go backwards after you have passed the current word would also be good. 3. Once you leave the app for a long time, the app does not save where you were last. This is inconvenient as I can’t pick up where I left off. So far these just some inconveniences/potential for improvement I’ve found. Otherwise the App is helping me learn the greek words.

This app appears to work great so far from my experience. I must admit I was a bit disappointed that the app was $5.99 and then 10 minutes into using the app I found out it was barely usable without also paying $2.99 for the pro version. It’s not that much money ofc, but it still felt a bit dishonest…

Awesome app! 😎

Great, but there a bugs when adjusting the range. There are so many options that it lags and you have to close the app.

Dude, if your working through Biblical Greek, you need this app or something similar for sure!

The main bonus with this app is that it’s an app and available anywhere you take your phone. I use it exclusively to memorize vocabulary words from Bill Mounce’s 4th edition New Testament Greek. I find it mildly annoying that the definition on the app don’t always mirror the definitions found on the back of his flash cards or in the book. Sometimes word definitions are added or omitted, which is frustrating when you are trying to memorize precise definitions for a test. The other issue I found is that the words aren’t always pronounced accurately. For instance, when the app says Pneuma, which is the greek word for spirit, it does not pronounce the P. Mounce clearly states there are no silent letters in Greek. This makes me question other pronunciations, so I cant proceed with as much confidence as I should when using the app. So I use it, but only when the flash cards are not available.

So user-friendly and helpful it’s ridiculous! Definitely helps make Greek less …Greek.

This App has been a great blessing to use as a study tool. The options of what to use or not..sound, pictures, repeat missed cards.

Great app, but there a couple things that I really would like to see a couple of features: (1) the ability to break up larger sets of words into smaller adjustable subsets for memory work. I like to memorise new words in groups of 10 (my brain is too old to start with the 20 or 30 word sets that are generated by the typical chapter) and (2) the ability to flip back to see the Greek word once I have flipped to see the English gloss. Currently you can’t flip back and forth and before selecting correct/incorrect. I’m a new user, so if I have somehow missed this functionality please correct me. The ability to control set size (other than when using the word frequency panel to filter down, which I find kludgey) would be huge for me.

This app has been quite useful for me, definitely worth the buy. The only problem I hope the author will address is that certain flash cards will not turn over from Greek to English when I hit “flip”. I hope you will fix this.
