ANON BUD  Quite simply the finest, most comprehensive program of its kind available for the Mac. Hands down beats out Logos software for Windows. I've been using Accordance for years and have never had any problems. Absolutely indispensable for the serious bible student or scholar!

DOUG EDDY  I have used Accordance for ages. I have needed assistance a number of times for problems that were of my own doing. I cannot begin to say how pleased I have been with their support. At all times they have been professional, helpful and down right friendly. Additionally, they have continued to develop the product and provide invaluable resources. Especially appreciated is their continued support of and effective use of the Mac environment.

I am writing this primarily in response to an earlier negative review that reflected none of my experience. Their products are excellent, their support superb and my only regret is that I don't have a few more bucks to purchase additional modules for my program.

SEAN0629  Accordance is the most powerful, elegant, and sophisticated Bible software program available. This built only for the Macintosh program is structured around a simple, straightforward philosophy: in Bible study, the Bible is central. While numerous add-on modules are available (commentaries, dictionaries, books, lexicons, etc.), the focus remains the Bible. Nearly every modern translation and most historical translations of the Bible are available in Accordance, including original language texts with extensive tagging information.

For more information, visit www.accordancebible.com and download the free demo. I did just that a year ago and was instantly hooked.

MACSWEEP  Accordance, in my experience is for people who want to study what other people say about the Bible. That's why there are all those modules with other people's opinions says and means. It is not easy to use for actual studying.

My experience with Oak tree has been very poor. The forum moderator is a very sour person refusing to let someone on the forum unless the person's email reflects a "real name".

Their support is also bottom of the barrel, I could not get anywhere on a issue where the app wouldn't load strongs number's.

There is also no user documentation to speak of on their web site. When I asked about a real tutorial about proper search syntax I was told that there is no need of a tutorial. The built-in Help files are also useless for this.

GUNTIS  Version 8 is simply the Garden of Eden before the Fall. Absolute beauty! :-)  
(Version 8.0.1)

BORDERLANDCROSS  1. Mac only!

2. Modular system allows you to get the program and us it without a huge investment and then add to it as needed.

3. Offers a ton of good modules and biblical texts.

4. GUI is sleek, well thought out and intuitve with tabbed windows and highly configurable text display.

5. User created notes and reference tools allow you to take notes in the program as well as add notes from others. The notes immediately become searchable and have a built in spell check.

6. The search function has so many options and variables you can find anything within a text in english, greek, hebrew etc... and fast.

7. Contextual menus and key command shortcuts speed up workflow.

8. 3-d interactive map is incredible and when integrated with the PhotoGuide module is the next best thing to going to Israel.

9. Many different ways to do the same function for ease of use.

10. I have been using it for years and the Oaktree team is vigilant to respond to suggestions always making the product better and better. I wish all developers were this good.

Nothing even comes close.

RWEBBER  The folks at OakTree Software have consistently produced cutting edge Bible study software for the Macintosh that is unsurpassed by any package on any platform. I know -- I own copies of Libronix for windows and several other less well-known packages for both platforms. None of them can compare with the flexibility of searches offered, the speed of the package, or the intuitive nature of the user interface. The software engineers have produced a stellar package with the newest offering. The new features of version 7 take Accordance well beyond any other application on the market. The new analysis graphs, slide-show function, search by root, arrange by module, and the highlighting feature expanded to include all modules -- just to list a few new features -- have made the newest version well worth the minimal upgrade fee. If you insist on the best Bible study package available, you really must try this application. While you can get in at entry level for about $39, an adequate package for the serious Bible student will cost at least several hundred dollars. I do hope the folks at OakTree will offer some larger, more inexpensive packages in the future.

PETER GNEMMI  Speaking of Catholic, the nice people at Oak Tree Software have released a Catholic collection. It includes many Catholic Bibles, including Latin Vulgate and the Spanish Navarra Bible, the Catholic Catechism, Vatican I & II, the Summa, Council of Trent, Order of the Mass, and the Code of Canon Law. This is the most comprehensive one-stop shopping for all your Catholic needs available, all wrapped in Accordance GUI goodness. Very cool, indeed!  
(Version 6.9)

DOUG EDDY  I have used Accordance for years and am still learning how to use it! It performs so many functions and I would be seriously limited in my work if I did not have it. It is so powerful and the selection of add-on modules cannot be beat.

The staff go out of their way to accomodate, and they regularly update the modules to improve functioning or add new functions. The list of available Bible translations and resources is excellent and the continuity of interface with all modules most helpful.

They are the best I have seen and I highly recommend their software to anyone.
