Good resource, but corrections needed. Good resource, but corrections needed.I just went word by word through the Mounce vocabulary cards, and for more than 50 of them the accent in the audio was on the wrong syllable. On several occasions the alpha was pronounced like the 'a' in "cat" and the omicron like an omega. Once the "ei" diphthong was mispronounced like a long i. The breathing marks were incorrectly spoken on at least two words: the form of "Jerusalem" ending in "luma" (smooth instead of rough) and the word for "mountain, hill" (rough instead of smooth). I would love to recommend this app to my biblical Greek students, but would have to do so with a great deal of caution until these issues are addressed.

helpful, but needs improvement helpful, but needs improvementThis app has been very beneficial to me these past two years in my studies of biblical greek, but there are some major issues with it. First, over 75% of the pronunciations are wrong—the stress is not properly placed where the accent is. Second, the specs say that this app has every word that appears 10x or more in the NT, which is false. It has has every word that appears 12x or more and about 25 words in the 10-11 range which means it is missing about 125 words. Third, the price is very high, especially since there are so many things that need improvement. If all the pronunciations were correct and all the words present (perhaps even every word that appears in the NT), it would be worth $20. Nonetheless, this has been an invaluable resource in my first two years of studying biblical Greek, and I would suggest buying it. Just don't listen to the pronunciations or else you will develop a bad habit of pronouncing the Greek words incorrectly.

Good, but... Good, but...I first used the Hebrew version of this app. Now, It is time to brush up on the Greek vocab. The one error I have found is in the demonstrative pronouns. The words outos, autn, and touto are all listed correctly. Their definition is listed as "this," but then it adds, "he, she, it." It appears that in the edit mode, someone did not catch the demonstrative pronoun being mistaken for the 3rd person pronoun. This could cause some trouble in translation. Other than that, so far so good.

Thing I like and things I don't Thing I like and things I don'tLike: that the words go with the grammars, that you can sort by frequency, that it reads the word to you, that quiz mode repeats words you get wrong. Don't like: that words you get wrong are not marked in any way, the VERY high price for a basic app.

Worth every penny Worth every pennyI'm taking a class based on Mounce's Greek class and this app has all vocab words for year 1 and 2. This app crushes the competition. The UI is just amazing and it's a pleasure to use. I have corresponded with an employee of iCode, the developer, and he mentioned they plan to release custom decks in their next release (so you can save words you need practice with). I was comparing this app to a different app that our instructor purchased that was 1/2 the cost, and he was impressed and regretted buying the cheaper app. I'm telling you, this is your only choice if you are taking Koine Greek. It does have audio pronunciations, just to be clear, since I didn't see it explicitly mentioned on the store page. I also noticed that on my iphone4, audio only works when connected to wifi.
