Eight years of Satisfaction

I began with the free version of Accordance in May, 2012, and upgraded to a paid version almost a year later. I run Accordance on my iPhone, iPad, and Mac. Not once has an upgrade or change brought disappointment or frustration. A product so good that it soon became my sole Bible Study app has only become better over time. It easily rates 5 stars in every category. Ease of Use - 5 stars Reliability - 5 stars Visual appeal - 5 stars Available resources - 5 stars Customer Service - 5 stars From basic bible study to sermon preparation, Accordance puts everything you need at your fingertips. It excels at everything you need it to do.

Accordance sets a high bar for other Bible software companies. Since I came from another company to Accordance it’s easy for us to see the difference. Very eager to help and solve issues and always bringing something new to the software while keeping it updated with our other software. We are happy with Accordance and are looking forward to many more years together.
Very nice app for word study

Very nice to have word study tools for Hebrew and Greek right in the app.
Powerful but a little awkward
East Coker
This is a powerful app, the only Bible app I use and have use for the past five years or more. My only suggestion would be in navigating away from search results. Although I use the app a lot, I have to relearn each time how to get the main text to reappear instead of the search results.
Like Jesus this software is steadfast consistently awesome

Thank you for all that you do to maintain the software and update this accordance software and keep it fresh adding new features and content that serves our lord Jesus The Christ
Amazing bible software!
Pastor in Washington
Accordance truly is an amazing bible software. I used to have one of the competitors software and I am so glad I changed! First it’s lightning fast, second, accordance has an incredibly large selection of texts, third you are able to seemly interface with all the texts!!! Imagine cross referencing your bible with dictionaries, commentaries, grammars, and map guides! The internet has free bibles on line but nothing like the tools available with Accordance! Transformed my bible study! Wow! I’m so glad I switched! Keep up the good work!
Go as deep as you want
\Matthew/
I can “snorkel” with a bare bones ESV, but these tools take me “scuba diving”: Same water, different depth. I’m so hungry for what’s under the hood, but I’m not a seminarian or pastor. This is a great set of tools and modules to bridge me towards a sharper mind and deeper love for Him and his word and his mission. Most sermons I hear leave me more hungry than full. Thank you to all the tech, design, and content decisions in the product.
Great book

Since I started to read the accordance Bible my knowledge of the word of God has increased to a higher level . I really like that I can look at different words in Hebrew or Greek . I recommend this accordance Bible too any child of God who wants to learn more about God and Jesus Christ . Thank you.
Just the best bible product. Period. Never disappointing.

OK, I'm a long time Accordance user, and have amassed a large collection of texts and resources. They all work as I would expect. And the iOS and desktop experience are so similar and powerful, I rarely, though sometimes, wish I had my computer to use this app.
