Pros and cons of Accordance Bible Software app for iPhone and iPad

Accordance Bible Software app good for

I have noticed the verse 1 of Psalm 51 is missing in the Hebrew version I love really love this app as it helps me have a better understanding of the word of G-d given to His people and I hope this missing verse will be missing no more quite soon. Thanks.
This update finally brings, among other improvements, the full-screen option. And its a pleasure to use it reading and studying biblical texts. There are also several improvements of the overall look-and-feel of this app. Now, for the first time, I can see myself using it exclusively without feeling the need to switch back and forth between Accordance and other bible study apps. Great update!
Ive been using this program on my Macs for years. This app works very well on my iOS devices. It has a very rich selection of content that works very smoothly on all devices.
This is a great start from the Accordance folks. It is absolutely wonderful to be able to use my existing modules, but this is a great offering even without those. There are a couple of features that I hope to see in the future: Id love to be able to bookmark resources in the iOS app--it feels more like an eReader than the desktop app for some reason--and more graceful handling of module downloading among them. Id also love to see better multitasking support while downloading and some way to sync my notes from the desktop app (maybe already there, but I havent found it yet). Otherwise, great, great stuff, Oaktree!
Very happy with the ability to upload my library and do complex searches on the go. Only drawback is that I am hoping that the amplify function will be added soon, without it word studies are a little tedious but still doable.
I use this in our Bible studies and it is excellent. No crashes just works. I would like to be able put the books and reference notes in alphabetic order to shorten the time to find each. Great work keep it up.

Some bad moments

Great potential ... Long waited options ... But it crashes every time you try to change the reference tool, linked or unlinked to the main text. Quick help needed. I have a lot of work waiting to be done and I was counting on Accordance. Thanks.
First of all, I want to thank Accordance to create this app, enabling me to carry my whole library on the go. However, in terms of interface, I think it definitely needs to be improved. For example, if I want to change the colour of the text or the background, I need to press at least eight buttons to complete this simple task. Also, since I have a massive library with many titles and modules, to locate any of them is very very cumbersome because every time I have to scroll the long list. Another thing is that the name is a short name so that I do not know what the title is really about. I know this app is 1.2 and it has a long way to get improvement. But the interface of other bible apps, to be honest, is much better. I am looking forward something better in the future. Thanks.
This app really needs a lot more attention. Just to give one example of a glaring flaw: the so-called “simple install” of purchased modules is neither simple, nor does it appear to install anything. There is no progress bar, no indication of what is happening, and apparently if you switch apps or even move to another part of this app, the entire download is cancelled. Thing is, you have no idea if the download has even started. This is an egregious error, and unspeakably bad programming. The sad thing is that this has been pointed out already many YEARS ago. Either someone isn’t earning his pay, or Accordance is using hacks in the iOS development department. Too bad that this is making a great Mac OS product look shabby on iOS.
Anyone who has used accordance will know that much of what is sold consists of really expensive untagged books that are in the public domain. (I bought the vulgate twice because for some reason there was an untagged copy that was much cheaper, though this was not indicted). Annnd anyone who has used it will likely also know that it caters to users who either despise the Catholic Church or simply desire only evangelical scholarship. But my complaint today is that you cannot get rid of the ESV, and you cant remove it as the default text!!! The former is annoying, the latter is more than that. I use both accordance and logos, and at least logos lets you choose a translation instead of forcing a really remedial, entirely biased translation on all its paying customers. But Im going to
Title says it all. I download the app and cant log into my Accordance account to get my modules.
Overall this app is great as always!! This new version is much snappier. Scrolling is much smoother. All Daily Readings links work again! (so far) Thanks for the great App!!
