## Review summary

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).
