#Accordance bible software review software#

I highly recommend this program as the standard for all bible software on the Mac or elsewhere. The staff is friendly and helpful when I call about orders and they know what they are doing. I have found the tech support to be excellent and prompt. There is no other program I have found to match it. I love having bunches of commentaries, dictionaries, encyclopedias and word study tools available with just a click. The modules are numerous and I learned from one of the videos how best to group them in sub-folders. I also switch to the Greek and Hebrew texts at times. I usually have 4 different translations of a text at a time for my sermon preps: RSV (what my church, unfortunately, still uses) NRSV, The MESSAGE and the new Contemporary English Version. The videos helped me to really feel comfortable with it. At the same time, they have excellent videos at their site (can be downloaded or for $10 they will send them on a disc).

It is a very powerful program that has a steep learning curve to get full functionality. I have used Accordance almost since they first started it. But Accordance is the one that serves me best, it's the one that I keep on using, and continue to invest in by adding new modules fairly regularly (and I don't mean old public domain out-of-copyright works.) And I don't regret a penny of that investment.Īs I said, if you want to have the Bible on your Mac (or PC or iOS device), you cannot ignore Accordance. I've stuck with it even though now and then I will try a demo or a free Bible program that is new or novel or innovative.

I reluctantly switched to Accordance from Online Bible years ago when OLB wasn't available for Mac OS X (NB it is now) after seeing it demoed at a Mac Expo (remember them?). If you want to have the Bible on your Mac (or PC or iOS device), you cannot ignore Accordance. It has speed, it has depth, it has a broad range of Bible-based resources, it has active and ongoing development from a brilliant and dedicated team, it has stellar customer support, it has a vibrant and friendly and helpful online community forum, it is competitively priced, there is no hard sell, you can download a free/demo version and try it out for yourself. No longer does it command a niche corner of the limited Mac market of Bible programs, but it dominates on both the Mac OS and Windows platforms.

Crash that could occur when entering data with the character palette.Īccordance is Bible software for everyone, whether you are a casual reader of the Bible, a serious student, a pastor or scholar or even a postgraduate researcher.

Crash in Targums word map when doing “Search for -> lexeme” using the right click menu.

“About this text” for Targums WordMap would show old information.

Bookmark snippets was using garbled text in certain cases.

Issue that caused 'copy as Transliteration' to fail when pasting within Accordance.
