Leave a Review Accordance Bible Software
Love it, hoping for an Indonesian translation
Found this while recently looking for a more privacy-respectful Bible app, and this seems to be a really good option. I love the clean, distraction free look, and the way it opens directly to the scripture, once installed.
The only thing holding me back from making the switch is current lack of support for TB (or any other) Indonesian translation, as that’s my wife’s native language, and we want to both be studying from the same app. I see there are many other international translations available in the store; I hope an Indonesian language translation becomes available for purchase there soon!Show lessThe best Bible app also runs on iOS
It certainly is a huge challenge to convert the tremendous abilities of Accordance for Mac to run on iOS, but this is a valiant effort and the developers are always trying to improve things. I like this because all my resources (yes, DyreLogan, this is something you invest in building up over years) can be viewed while portable, not just when I'm home. Accordance is the workhorse Bible application, with Greek interlinear, tap to bring up notes and commentaries, highlighting, and loads of related resources (like Athanasius's book on the Incarnation and Bonhoeffer's Works). All of it currently syncs through Dropbox, but soon this will sync without that overhead. After years of buying and giving up resources when I moved to a new Bible study program, Accordance has been my mainstay for almost 20 years; that saves tons of money.Show lessSimple is Beautiful
I’ve tried a number of other similar apps, including the most downloaded and highest rated apps in the App Store. None of them matches the simplicity and speed of Accordance. It seems that development has slowed down considerably since the early days, but I still love the app and trust my highlights and notes to it. I’ve been an Accordance user since before the iPhone. I’ve invested substantially in content. I think they could innovate on desktop, mobile, and web, but I hope the day to day use is never hindered by an over dependency on connectivity and social media envy.Show less
