Summary of user reviews

Version History of Accordance Bible Software

3.4.4

September 3, 2024

Fixes * Accordance would not handle a misspelled/ambiguous/'?' argument in a Topic search. * When editing a User Note, Accordance would not maintain the selection/insertion point in the Edit view. * The User Note view was not properly refreshed after closing the Edit view. * Issue that could cause the same Text module to be added to the Library multiple times during Easy Install. * Gloss files would not be properly installed. Unicode Hyperlink fixes * Accordance was not properly creating certain Resource/Accord links consistently. (e.g. Strong's Module/Field name) * When pasting Resource/Accord Links into a Unicode User Note, the search argument could be displayed as gibberish (e.g. Greek/Hebrew text). Now the search argument is displayed as unicode with a valid (hidden) hyperlink. * Hidden Hyperlinks with a mixture of Unicode/NonUnicode display text (e.g. a Resource Link with a Unicode search argument) could become corrupt after an (unrelated) Edit view update. * The Edit view would corrupt certain types of links (and display error message) after using the backspace key to delete unicode characters.

More

3.4.3

March 28, 2024

Various improvements to Easy Install and In-App Purchasing workflows: * Refactored Module Installation and handling of Module errors. * Updated security for the In-App Purchasing server communications. * Multiple issues with Restoring In-App purchases on a new device. * Other fixes for multiple In-App purchases, handling errors, and Accordance account authorization.

3.4.2

September 20, 2023

Changes * Refactored Accordance Account processes: * - logout / keychain management * - authorization / creation. * Images in a Tool will now be scaled down when the pane narrows instead of having the edge cut off. * For the 'Single Tap for Details' option, improved determination of "white space". Previously, it was difficult to find a tap point to toggle the menu bars for various RTL Texts, Interlinear, verse layout cases, etc. Miscellaneous Display Fixes * Text section headings could be inserted before the wrong paragraph (e.g. Neh 1:1 LSB). * Display of verses with poetic style. Tool Image Layout Fixes * An extra line break was inserted before an image if the pane was narrow. * A centered image would be left justified if image display was set to very large. * An image in a table would not respect center justification in some cases. Interlinear Fixes * Secondary pane Text would not properly recall Interlinear settings. * Highlight style rendering issue when showing Interlinear. * Allow Arabic and perhaps other texts with Strong’s number to be added to the Interlinear text. * Verify that non-biblical corpuses such as Athenasius no longer appear in the Interlinear pull-down menu items. Miscellaneous Fixes * An issue that prevented newly installed Texts from being available for certain Settings choices (e.g. Settings > Instant Details > Source Texts) * Custom URLs would not work properly with certain module names. * If Accordance could not find a module when tapping a Custom URL then certain module characters were garbled in the error alert.

Reviews of Accordance Bible Software

Brilliant! Fantastic! A MUST have!

I have been using Accordance for several years now. I use the desktop version on my iMac most mornings and the iPad version throughout the rest of the day. Accordance has replaced pretty much every other Bible/Bible study tool. I no longer open a paper Bible. I rarely launch other Bible software (and then only because I made purchases in them that I have yet to duplicate in Accordance). I suspect that I use Accordance more than most any other app on my iPad. I use it a lot. It is Brilliant. And perhaps, that says it all. Bogus apps don’t get used. This one does. And it keeps getting better. The app is updated regularly. If anyone is thinking of investing in a Bible software suite, I give my highest recommendation to Accordance! It is a joy to use and as a result, I’m reading and studying Scripture much more than I once did. Thank you Team Accordance!!

Lack of sync is handicap

This is the best Bible software for the desktop, and having one’s Bible versions and theology books on hand is wonderful. However the lack of ability to sync notes from desktop to mobile is a significant handicap for me. For years, the developers depended on Dropbox to perform sync, but recent changes to Dropbox have reduced sync to 2 devices. With a desktop, phone, iPad, and laptop in the mix, sync isn’t possible. There is a built-in wireless sync which used to work directly from desktop to phone, but that no longer functions despite still being present in the software. In 2022, the developers announced plans to roll out an Accordance Cloud which would provide a sync point for all devices in an account, but as of Nov 2024 they’ve been unable to figure out how to do it, and iCloud sync they claim is too glitchy for this type of data sync.

The best!

This is my most used app! It is fantastic. I use it at least 2 hours a day. I have dozens of modules over the years. Wonderful program. I think every CHRISTIAN should have this program, Nothing but trouble this morning trying to get a “free” offer. Finally I don’t think I got it after45 minutes of tying.
