User Reviews

Hoplite Greek Keyboard is praised for polytonic Greek input without fonts and easy diacritic entry, plus a layout that supports vocab practice and flashcards in a compact design. Recurrent drawbacks include the final sigma bug where σ doesn’t reliably become ς at word endings, and diacritic rendering inconsistencies across apps. Some users also find it a bit cumbersome. Overall, it’s a strong option for polytonic Greek input on iOS, though it needs bug fixes.
Pros
  • Robust support for polytonic and Ancient Greek typing, enabling Greek input without needing special fonts.
  • Easy entry of diacritics with a favorable layout, making diacritics intuitive to type.
  • Valuable for learning tools like vocabulary practice and flashcards (e.g., Quizlet, flashcards).
  • Compact, efficient layout that doesn’t take up excessive screen space.
Cons
  • Final sigma (σ) does not reliably convert to final sigma (ς) at the end of words across multiple apps.
  • Diacritics and accents can misrender or be inconsistent across apps, with some characters not displaying or shifting unexpectedly (e.g., issues in iMessage, Messenger, iNotes).

I’m learning Koine Greek and this keyboard has been awesome for typing out vocabulary and practice on my phone. Great work!

I love this keyboard tool. My only complaint is that sometimes I have to hit a key more than once to make the corresponding character appear on the screen. But to be able to actually type in Ancient Greek without using a special font, this is a very minor concern. εὐχαριστέω πολύ

This is exactly what I need to make flash cards. It would be great if the problem with σ at the end of a word could be corrected. In an app like OneNote it changes, but in an app like this review (or my flash card app) λεγοσ it does not change the ending σ.
