Great content, unattractive interface
Theres no question that having a portable LSJ is a great boon for reading Greek. Kudos for a fine job of porting this classic work to the iPhone.
I would have preferred, however, to see LSJ come to iPhone as, well, more iPhone-ish. Despite the screenshots, the app takes up the whole screen, covering up the status bar at the top; theres really no need for that, and I for one like to keep an eye on the time and the battery meter. The problem with the lack of a splash screen or set of instructions is simply that the app blanks the screen and takes a long time to load, so perhaps what we really need is some indication that that is precisely what is going on. Finally (and I think worst of all), this app, like its Lewis & Short Latin Dictionary counterpart, has a name that is longer than the iPhone can display, which makes it an ugly duckling as it sits next to other apps on the main screen.
But the good news is that the developer is obviously responsive to user feedback posted here (to any who have missed it, you can change font size, keyboard click, and keyboard format under "Settings"). Lets hope this app continues to evolve.
