User Reviews

Users praise Accordance for its thorough Bible library, strong original-language tools (Greek/Hebrew), and ease of use for serious study. The app works well as a fast, accessible companion to the desktop, with side-by-side language views and quick translation switching. However, users repeatedly report stability and reliability problems: frequent bugs and crashes on iOS, freezing, and overall instability. Sync across devices is unreliable, with highlights and notes sometimes lost or corrupted after removing Dropbox sync. Mobile features lag behind the desktop, and the search syntax can feel overly code-driven. It’s powerful, but needs polish and stability improvements.

Pros

Comprehensive Bible library with high-quality resources and strong original-language tools (Greek/Hebrew) and dictionaries.
Easy to use with fast searches and the ability to resume where you left off.
Excellent companion to the desktop, especially on iPad, with cross-platform access and side-by-side language comparisons.
Powerful features for serious study, including Greek/Hebrew word studies and quick translation switching.

Cons

Frequent bugs and crashes on iOS, with app freezing and instability.
Sync across devices is unreliable; highlights and notes can be lost or corrupted after Dropbox sync was removed.
Mobile features lack parity with the desktop; limited tool editing and some modules missing side-by-side views.
Search and UX feel non-intuitive and sometimes code-like; formatting issues.
Module download/update processes can be flaky, with large batch downloads failing.

Recent reviews

This app has the potential to be amazing. It is moderately helpful. The search features are the opposite of user-friendly, and the app itself is fairly cumbersome to use. I mainly use it for language analysis, and yet I find that Sefaria often works more smoothly for Hebrew searches than this app does. Apps should be intuitively designed. One should not need to watch hours and hours of videos and spend weeks reading online articles and forums, effectively taking a whole self-study course in how to use the app just in order to do relatively basic searches. The entire app needs to be redesigned. And no, this does not at all mean that AI should be incorporated into the app like Logos has done. Just make the app easier to use and more intuitive—especially the search features, but also just the basic navigation which right now is fairly cumbersome.

I’ve been using Accordance is the 1990s when it was still on floppy disks. Accordance was once the best Bible software available, especially if you wanted to do work in the original languages. The quality of their software has been in consistent decline for years. Updates are becoming less frequent. Endless errors in their cross-reference hyperlinks. Even doing a simple word search has become almost pointless. The list poor quality could be made longer. Also, the prices for digital copies of books is downright outrageous. If I wasn’t so heavily invested in Accordance software I’d like switch to another company.
