Nice Keyboard

Easy to install, quick to switch to from the standard iOS keyboard, and simple in design. Overall a great keyboard. One drawback is it doesn't appear to support Unicode. So if I type an character with diacritics, the diacritics will sometimes be ignored. For example, ἄ will be interpreted by some websites/apps as Unicode 945, which is plain alpha, instead of Unicode 7940, which is alpha with a smooth breathing mark and an acute accent. I hope the developer can add Unicode compatibility!

ἀγαθός

The only Ancient Greek keyboard currently available for iOS. Works well and is very useful as I am a Classics major; however, when typing in text boxes on some websites (mostly social media, it seems), diacritics do not place themselves properly on capital letters. This is rare, though. Great keyboard!

καλός

I really like this keyboard. This functionality has been missing from iOS for a long time. This keyboard gives me access to what I need to type out the correct Greek characters for the notes I prepare for our family Bible devotions. Thank you for helping me serve Ἰησοῦς as I serve my family and feed them the nourishment that my κύριος expects me to provide them with. The time to switch between keyboards is very fast on an iPhone 6 Plus and an iPhone 6s Plus. The time to switch between keyboa

Helpful for Ancient Greek Students

This keyboard is excellent for the student of Koine or Attic Greek. The stock apple keyboard does not include many standard diacritical marks (breathing, accents, and accent breathing combinations). This keyboard also allows for two different style layouts. One allows for a single button to function for all marks (long press) and the other gives a single button for each mark. Excellent resource for the Greek student using iOS.

It's great so far!

It's easy enough to switch back and forth between my phone's keyboard and this one. Only thing I've noticed is that the delete/backspace button is way to sensitive. On the plus side, you can erase entire paragraphs in two seconds. Overall 👍 and Ἐπαινῶ.

good, but...

I‘m transitioning to an iPad Pro + smart keyboard, and this app has generally been working well. Three improvements would earn it five stars from me: 1) addition of a semicolon (for punctuating questions) 2) addition of a raised dot (for punctuating statements) 3) synchronize the app keyboard with the folio keyboard (currently I type the letters on my smart keyboard folio and tap the accents from the onscreen keyboard; but they do not match up as far as punctuation is concerned). Apologies if

Perfect for writing Koine Greek

I cannot believe how amazing this app has been. The iOS Greek keyboard is nearly useless for my studies. I need the breathing marks and accents and this app supplies them all. I love how I can customize (though limited) my keyboard to have a different look, instead of displaying the keyboard with the system font (which is ugly and boring). I want to thank the developer for this very awesome keyboard.

Almost Perfect

Of all the Polytonic Greek apps I’ve tried, this is the best. Hoplite sometimes doesn’t register keys, ipolytonic glitches out on certain apps. There is another paid app that I’ve not yet tried, and don’t think I will, because I am happy with this one. The only thing I could think of that would improve it would be adding the ability to slide the cursor with the spacebar or equivalent. Sometimes I mistype an accent, and going back is trickier without that feature.

great except

great, except for the overloading of the click-and-hold of the global key to switch between keyboard modes, rather than keyboards, which is annoying. Otherwise, this is a fine polytonic greek keyboard

Great keyboard, I use it in college.

I use this keyboard to type out sentences in my Greek class, after translating them from English. The way accents, subscripts, and everything else is implemented is great. This app is a lifesaver.

Nearly perfect

It's exceptionally great! All the accents, all the letters, and punctuation. I only have an issue with the fact that the backspace deletes the letters too fast, and also a predictive option would be nice.

So good

So amazing I wish I could give it 6 stars tbh

The best Ancient Greek keyboard available!

Thanks so much for this keyboard! Beautiful updated keyboard that intuitively allows me to type Ancient Greek. *would really love if it integrated with Apple’s hardware keyboard for the iPad Pro, but don’t know if Apple allows that.

Great

I’m starting to learn Koine Greek and this app is perfect for typing flashcards or typing notes to myself for study or for fun. Please continue to keep it running well!

The best

This is the best Ancient Greek keyboard!!

Everything is manual

Doesn’t predict words, and doesn’t auto correct anything. Even punctuation. Don’t we have this technology nowadays? I guess if you really want to type with the old formal way with the accent marks (psili, Dasia, perispomeni), this app is good. But you have to really know that old school method of formal Greek so that you know exactly which accent marks to (manually) use.
