What’s New
Version 3.4.4
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.
Ratings and Reviews
The best just keeps getting better
This is the best bible study software out there.
It is frequently updated with great new features and any bugs are quickly squashed.
Register and you get a lot of additional useful resources but there are also loads of resources that can be purchased including study bibles, commentaries, dictionaries and lexicons, atlases and other works. Currently there are weekly offers, so you can quickly build a serious library with the advantage that you can now take your library with you wherever you go (and increase the font size to make them easier to read in years to come!). There is also a full featured product that can be used on os or windows and virtually all the products can be used on all platforms. The interlinear is a great resource to help study the bible in original languages and the search functionality is blisteringly fast and the text and other resources can be linked so that they scroll together aiding study. This means that you can dig into scripture much deeper and much more quickly than i ever could using hard copies. There is a great forum where both users and developers are very active and features and requests for resources are added.
Poppin’!
I love the dual split screen function that allows you to look at bible passages/verses on one screen and a selection of other textual content in the other, for e.g. An outline of the chapter you’re reading from or the Greek definition of a word you’ve highlighted and it’s usages in the bible. This greatly enhances the quality of my study as I can nimbly access useful information with just a few taps. Another useful function is bible-verse pop-ups (a small window comprising a passage) when you select a cross reference verse and the option to ‘amplify’ or to switch your screens to focus on the newly selected passage.
Only Gets Better
I love this app. There are occasional glitches on updates that are quickly sorted. It's my go to place for study on the move and often easier to navigate than the desktop - brilliant.
