Functionally Useless
Has little to no parity with the desktop app. The most important feature I would want on mobile is searching and looking up original language references, and it simply cannot manage. I can see a word in the GNT, type it exactly in the search box, and Accordance will fail to find it anywhere (including the passage where I first saw it). Doesn’t matter if I’m looking for inflected or lexical forms. Fails. Also, none of the search options are helpful or meaningful - there is no discernible difference between searching in “all Bible verses” or searching in “all Bible passages.”

Accordance Bible Software is great
I enjoy using the Accordance Software for Bible study. I use several software applications for study. Accordance does a great job and provides excellent tools for study. I personally strive for a better understanding of God’s word to help me know God more. My goal is to boast that I know God and his ways and live to glorify Him. I am nothing but an ordinary christian and church member. I am not a scholar or a leader in the church. I am just a theologian learning from my Lord and Savior by His words and Spirit..

Sync has been broken for MONTHS
Despite promises by the devs to fix the problem, there’s been no movement for months. I currently cannot sync notes or highlights between devices. It’s cast a serious shadow over my ability to study. 1* until fixed.
EDIT: More alarming, support tickets are going unanswered and the iOS app has not been updated in 9 months. Support forums haven’t had a response by Accordance personnel in nearly a year. Posts asking where Support is are being deleted off Accordance forums. Seems quite likely that Accordance isn’t even running in maintenance mode at this point.

Needs Update
I have used the accordance iOS app for many years. I have a very large library. It has many small glitches that are annoying at best and debilitating at worst, and the list grows as time goes by. For example: The split screen line doesn’t stay where I place it. When switching between Accordance and another app, like notes or something else, Accordance loses its place. Often, it can take about 5-7 seconds to open the dictionary after tapping on a word. The app keeps defaulting to context all searches. Which is annoying. It’s just plain and simple that the app needs some serious love and development. If the developers would spend some time using the iOS app themselves it would be obvious what needs to be done.

Enjoying this
I enjoy using Acvordance, especially the user note feature.
The Best Bible Concordance App
I highly recommend this App as a reference point when studying the bible.
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.

It’s good
Thank you for setting up wonderful applications for me!
Assistant pastor
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.
