Ratings and Reviews
Rating Accordance
I like the fact that you have the text and tools available offline and the highlighting is available for individual word as well as phrases.
I like the key word search and verse search ability. I haven't learned how to use the advanced search capabilities yet and maybe there is a help section to help with that.
I'd like to see a little more cross referencing available but for the platform it is a great application for the iPad.
I use it for personal devotions, taking notes and preaching.
Love this app, use it every day.
I’ve used this app daily for years now. Reading in Greek and tapping when I come across a Greek word I don’t know to discover the meaning. The functionality is generally better and faster than the competing products. Which we could change the Greek font to something more attractive.
Developer Response ,
You likely have the 'Active Highlighting' option enabled, at the top next to the Table of Contents. Try tapping on the solid yellow circle there to disable the highlighting and restore old Instant Details options.
Thank you for your feedback, and if this fixes your issue, I hope you take the time to update your review.
Version 3 is much better
I love Accordance desktop and the mobile app is a solid offering that continues to improve. If you’re already an Accordance user, this app is a must, but it’s by no means the best Bible app for mobile.
If you are after a mobile optimised app or don’t need advanced language study, you’re better off with something else.
The version 3 update seems to have fixed my biggest complaints around navigation.
I’d still like to see research-like functionality, as well as a book ribbon feature in addition to the current bookmark functionality which is cumbersome and makes this app less than ideal as an ebook reader.
