Accordance Bible Software User Reviews

Terrible

It’s so user unfriendly that every time I come back to it I have to research how to do this or that task. With Logos, on the other hand, it’s always quite intuitive where stuff is and how to do things. I regret having spent so much money on Accordance. Choose Logos, friends, and save yourselves lots of headaches.

Good study tool

This app has help me with Hebrew and Greek translations, giving me a deeper understanding of the scriptures.

Largely UNINTUITIVE App & Search

This app has the potential to be amazing. It is moderately helpful. The search features are the opposite of user-friendly, and the app itself is fairly cumbersome to use. I mainly use it for language analysis, and yet I find that Sefaria often works more smoothly for Hebrew searches than this app does. Apps should be intuitively designed. One should not need to watch hours and hours of videos and spend weeks reading online articles and forums, effectively taking a whole self-study course in how to use the app just in order to do relatively basic searches. The entire app needs to be redesigned. And no, this does not at all mean that AI should be incorporated into the app like Logos has done. Just make the app easier to use and more intuitive—especially the search features, but also just the basic navigation which right now is fairly cumbersome.

Continues to go downhill

I’ve been using Accordance is the 1990s when it was still on floppy disks. Accordance was once the best Bible software available, especially if you wanted to do work in the original languages.

The quality of their software has been in consistent decline for years. Updates are becoming less frequent. Endless errors in their cross-reference hyperlinks. Even doing a simple word search has become almost pointless. The list poor quality could be made longer. Also, the prices for digital copies of books is downright outrageous.

If I wasn’t so heavily invested in Accordance software I’d like switch to another company.

Amazing

Please fix this bug!!

I love Accordance on iPhone and iPad. I use it a lot. But since the last major update, search defaults to VERSE rather than FLEX and context to ALL rather than NONE. This makes searches VERY cumbersome. I contacted support and was told this would be fixed with the next update. That was several months ago. Surely I’m not the only one? And surely a minor bug fix shouldn’t take many months? My rating will go back to 5 when this one is fixed.

Thank you for setting up wonderful applications for me!

This is so helpful! And I’m thankful for the hard work and effort that went into this application.

Close but no cigar

Need to look at Logos before spending any money on this app. Rarely update their software. Be careful of the glowing reviews. I’m not saying Accordance is bad, I have it, it just isn’t even in the same game as Logos.

Glitchy. Lacks features. Improved syncing to cloud.

The app has potential. It has struggled with bugs so often it can be very frustrating. The features are limited compared to working with the full software. For instance, I cannot edit my user tools in the iPad app. Downloading modules can be infuriating. It doesn’t work even half of the time. Especially if you want to do it in large batches. Also, in user tools or certain modules, you cannot open a copy of the scriptures side by side. I’m honestly not sure about the future of Accordance. Logos has run so far ahead of them it’s not even close. But where Accordance shines, it is superior. I just wish someone would buy the company (someone reformed ideally!) who would turn things around.

Debug it

Keep working on the issues with iOS 10.3. My iPad crashes every time I try to run it. Of course once the bugs are out, it will again deserve its 4.5 rating……Now I’m having issues with iOS 26.3. My New Interpreter’s Bible OT & Apocrypha module crashes the app when I try to load it, though NT loads with no problems. I reported it a few weeks ago; don’t know how long until it is fixed. Otherwise a very useful Bible study app.

Amazing

Amazing all, God bless you

A Favourite and Great App until It Acts up

Just uninstall and reinstall then it will return to its normal settings. Video on YouTube is pointless and of no help whatsoever. Just saying..

User friendly and helpful

I’ve been using Accordance for over 8 years now. It’s been a spiritual and intellectual blessing. I find it very helpful and user friendly.

Mobile study

Hey the app is great. Easy to use and I can pull up the high quality resources I want. The one thing that would be an easy adjustment for accordance and make it more engaging for users is allowing night mode to be on at all times. At least for me it is much easier and aesthetic for the app. I’m sure others would agree. Thanks so much for making high quality resources available on the app.
