App: Grammaticus

From the ‘contact the rogueclassicist’ mailbox … I have not tried this app, but it does look useful:

I’m very pleased to announce that version 1.0 of Grammaticus is now available on the iTunes App Store. Grammaticus brings the full texts of Smyth’s _Greek Grammar_, Allen and Greenough’s _New Latin Grammar_, and Goodwin’s _Syntax of the Moods and Tenses of the Greek Verb_ to your iPhone and iPad and adds a host of useful features including multi-term full-text search, inline citation viewing, and bookmarks. If you’ve ever wanted to search for every Latin word ending in -ibus in A&G or view every citation of Thucydides in Smyth, now you can!

Grammaticus is priced at $6.99–perhaps not super-cheap in a world of frivolous 99-cent apps, but less than a tenth of the cost of buying new hard copies of Smyth and A&G!

More information and screenshots are available here:

You can download it from the App Store on your iDevice, or via the link below:

Also, you can access it from the App Store by searching for “grammaticus” or “smyth” or a few other similar keywords. (As of this writing, it isn’t yet showing up in search results, but I’m told it will start doing so in the next day or so. In the meantime, you can use the above URL to access it directly.)

Please feel free to forward this email on to any friends, colleagues or students who might find it useful. (And feel free to send me feedback about the app when you’ve given it a whirl!)

Thanks very much,
