Very good

Very good but please add polish bible

Just perfect

Ive tried Logos, Olivetree, Laridian, Accordance and some few others: Accordance is the best among them all. 1. Fast, soundy fast 2. Complete - dictionaries and bibles and commentary top notch 3. Easy to learn and use for original language studies 4. Top resources 5. Fires up quickly, search easily - you spend all the time actually reading the Bible

Major upgrade

Overall this app is great as always!! This new version is much snappier. Scrolling is much smoother. "Daily Readings" links work again! (so far) Thanks for the great App!! ... actually "Daily Readings" is STILL BUGGED! (last five versions at least!). The rest is great but why is this still not fixed?!

Great, buuuut...

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

Instant details for Hebrew text

I dont know if this has already been discussed, but...please reinstate the ability to have instant detail information in iOS for Hebrew articles, prepositional constructs, and pronominal suffixes etc!

iPad directly downloads purchases

With the iPad mini, I double tap the home button to switch between Accordance and the weekly Bible lesson downloaded to PDF Expert. With the iPad Pro, I run them side by side with PDF Expert half the screen, Accordance with side by side translations the other half.

Fix!!!

App keeps crashing on my iPhone 6

Most important app

Accordance is the most important app I use and I have added to all of our familys devices. I use it every day and am pleased with how it continues to be developed and improved.

Please Fix!

With the new update, on my iPhone 6, the text acts strangely depending on the font you use. I.e. the last word or two of every line of the text runs past and disappears off the edge of the text frame, and is not readable, or the text only runs to the middle of the screen, then breaks into a new line. Ive been using this app for studying Scripture for a long time, and I love it, but theres a bug with this version in quite a few of the fonts. Other than that, all is good.

Use it daily

Its a great app. I use it daily and can do most of the kind of research I also do on the computer. Most of the limitations are also things that would be unwieldy on mobile anyway. Its quite extraordinary they they have packed so much power into this without making it hard to use. Things I would love to see changed: 1) I would love to see a true full screen use of the entire real estate. To see what I mean, look at the free ESV app. When scrolling, EVERYTHING disappears except for the biblical text. Its just gorgeous. 2) Printing So thats being wishful. This is a great app. To underscore the value, I know that other unnamed Bible software would have eaten Accordances lunch without this app. I would also be stuck to my computer a lot more. Exceedingly glad to have it.

Great, function app that compliments the desktop version

Very functional on the mobile platform. It compliments the desktop version of the app.

Help

I cant get it to stay loaded, it trys to load but never does, I have used it twice since Ive loaded it, I like the app only if I could use it.

Great update!

Great update. Love the interlinear! Very time-saving improvement. Thanks for a great app!

Best option for Bible study

I have used Accordance for a number of years (over 8 years) and they still continue to amaze me. This update of the iOS version brings the wonderful interlinear to iPhones, iPods, and iPads. The thing I like the most is how you can include your favorite strongs tagged text. If you have not started using this app for Bible study, now is the time.

Perfect Study App

Rock-solid stable, brilliant interlinear and an incomparable library.

Excellent!

Hands down, this is the best Bible software on the market.

Better & Better & Better Still

I have been using the Accordance app for iPad & iPhone since the beginning. Each new release adds greater utility. Being able to untie the two panes is great. I can keep my focus text in place and browse a commentary or study Bible. Search capability of both Bible texts & other resources is excellent. Do you want to be able to find a particular Greek verb but only in the 3rd person singular, perfect passive indicative? Accordance Mobile can do it. The latest release has many improvements and new features. Having an interlinear on a mobile device is very useful, especially since I can choose which text I want to use for the base – original language or tagged English version – and then choose what information (lexical form of original language, Strongs or G/K Number of tagged English text, etc.) or versions I want to display with it. Highly customizable. The only software that beats Accordance on an iOS device is Accordance on the Mac (or PC). Almost everything I own in Accordance can go on my iPad and iPhone. I have a fairly limited install on the phone because of small screen size — a bunch of Bible versions, a couple of lexicons, a dictionary and a study Bible. However, on my iPad I have installed everything that I use regularly. The free version comes with a nice selection of texts and tools. For those of us who started with the desktop version, almost everything we own in Accordance Mac/PC can go on the iPad (excepted are the full Maps & Timeline). The hyperlinks & quality of the formatting make this app a must-have for those who want to be able to take an extensive library for Bible study with them in pocket or handbag.

Clean, Fast, Efficient, Easy to use software

This app is well designed and very intuitive to use. It runs quickly, is efficient, and has all the features necessary as one who reads ancient languages a lot. Better than its competitors software by far, in my opinion. (Im in a PhD program, FYI)

One of the best!

I have been using Accordance for quite a while now. One of the things that I appreciate is they are constantly updating their software and app. I also like that all of their purchases are cross platform, you dont have to purchase it again. Keep it up

Copy in Paragraph?

When copying multiple verses, I can no longer paste in a paragraph. It always pastes in verses separated by a space. Im sad that the update caused us to loose this capability. Still my favorite Bible app though.
