Accordance, the publisher of the Mac-only Bible study software that I’ve reviewed before (see here and here) and included in my “best Mac apps” of 2010, has released their long-awaited iOS app for iPad or iPhone/iPod touch.
As mentioned in the official release notice, the free universal app includes a copy of the English Standard Version (ESV) of the Bible, which is linked to Strong’s numbers. There are also free Greek and Hebrew dictionaries, a copy of Easton’s Bible Dictionary and more. In addition, those who create a free Accordance account will have access to even more free resources (see the official release for more details).
If you’re already an Accordance user, you should use your existing account name and password, because it will allow you to select modules that you have purchased to be downloaded and installed on your iOS device. To do so, tap the Books icon at the bottom left of the main screen to access your iOS library, then tap the down arrow on the bottom left of the “Library” screen. Accordance for iOS will show you all of the modules that you can download and their sizes.
I’ve only just downloaded the app and some modules, so I can’t really offer much in the way of a review. The app had been announced for a December launch, and they made it with hours to spare. More information can be found on the Accordance for iOS forum, including some preliminary Q&A, which was done on the official forum announcement post. Online help documentation is also available. Congrats to the Accordance team!
