FlashGreek PRO - HD Flashcards

The app needs serious work. It could use modern spaced repetition, and better, more professional and up to date, pronunciation—no one, except perhaps those at certain seminaries, thinks Erasmian is the way to go. The images are not always clear what in the image the Greek word refers to, i.e, they are not specific enough. Sometimes they are distracting and misleading. The app has serious lag when selecting vocabulary sets. I wish I didn’t have to tap on flip. The app does not seem as polished as other Greek apps out there/the ui and functionality often seems dated and has a 90s/early 2000s feel. 3 stars for being able to select vocab by book/letter AND range of chapters. No one else has that, well done. Also for the wide selection of grammars to go along with. Also, the immense customization in the options. If I couldn’t turn off the images, the sound, the English Bible verses (I’d rather they were in Greek), and I couldn’t select vocab by book and chapter, I’d give it 2 stars. But making it so that it is so customizable is the reason why I keep using it, even if it doesn’t seem as polished as other apps out there.

Love using it and I have learned so many words in such a short amount of time and its been so convenient to have my list of word for each chapter! What a true blessing!

I have extensive experience with Koine Greek, spanning four years at the undergraduate level, four years at the master's level, and an additional two years of preparation for my PhD. Out of all the apps I have tried, Flash Greek Pro has the best vocabulary and even includes some pronunciation for words, which is a definite plus. However, the positives end there. The primary issue with Flash Greek Pro is its lack of a fundamental feature: the ability to go back to previous flashcards. This omission severely undermines its utility as a learning tool. The design for filling the flashcards is arbitrary and doesn't make much sense, further compounding the frustration. Moreover, the app is slow and becomes increasingly unresponsive as the number of flashcards grows, often leading to crashes. But the most glaring flaw remains the inability to navigate back through the flashcards. If you have, say, 500 flashcards, you can only move forward. If you get a card wrong, it will eventually come back around, but this is not efficient for learning. Many learners, including myself, benefit greatly from repeatedly going back and forth through flashcards. This flexibility is crucial for thorough learning and retention, and its absence renders the app nearly useless. The inability to review and revisit cards freely ruins the app's effectiveness for Koine Greek learning. Despite its good concept and strong vocabulary, Flash Greek Pro is not worth any investment. Until these critical issues are addressed, I cannot recommend it. Save your money and look for a more user-friendly and efficient tool for your Koine Greek studies.
