Flexible and Stable – Accordance Bible Software Review

**About Performance:** Accordance starts and runs fine on iPhone 5S with the current iOS version and on original iPad mini with iOS 9. I use Accordance regularly and seldom experience loading, performance or crashing issues. It is stable most of the time. If you have stability issues, quit all apps on your device, reset the memory, then restart your iPhone or iPad. All mobile devices are work stations, not file servers. They need regular maintenance, just like your car needs regular maintenance. You need to reset memory and restart your iOS device at least once a week. **Study features:** You can read two versions of the Bible in parallel at the same time. I tend to use ESV or NASB in one window and Young's Literal in the other. But I also use NIV, KJV, The Message and others. No translation gets it right all of the time. Of course you can read just one version in a single window if you like. Or you can read one version with a commentary or other document in the other window. The default free Bible versions are as good as any translations. The default free app provides links to Greek and Hebrews definitions. Tons of additional tools are available for those interested in deep study. You can customize the appearance with background colors, text font colors and sizes, line spacing, reference font color and sizes, and on and on. The search is accurate, fast and flexible. I have been using Accordance on the Mac for 15 or so years and on mobile devices since Accordance became available for iOS.
