Each is a different system from the Mac. Even on iOS we had to deal with the different system and create an entirely new interface, but we use the same modules and much of the same search and display code as Accordance. If a port to Android becomes feasible, we will consider it. In the meantime you could get anotehr device such as iPad or iPod Touch and run Accordance on it, separate from the issue of phone service.</p>]]></description><pubDate>Sat, 09 Apr 2011 19:43:46 -0400</pubDate><guid>https://www.accordancebible.com/3394664</guid><dc:creator>Helen Brown</dc:creator></item><item><title>Jerry P</title><link>https://www.accordancebible.com/3394664</link><description><![CDATA[<p>I'm quite late to this conversation. I'm&nbsp;a user of Accordance since version 2, back in 1994, if I remember correctly. &nbsp;I'm now also wondering about getting accordance onto Android. &nbsp;We also live in an area where you can't get iPhone service, and I'm being really impressed with the Android phones &amp; tablets. &nbsp;Any hopes of changing your minds?&nbsp;</p>]]></description><pubDate>Sat, 09 Apr 2011 17:25:06 -0400</pubDate><guid>https://www.accordancebible.com/3394664</guid><dc:creator>Jerry P</dc:creator></item><item><title>Kevin</title><link>https://www.accordancebible.com/3394664</link><description><![CDATA[<p>I have a smart phone that uses android apps and I am a little puzzled as to why Accordance would not create an app for this platform. This is the largest platform for apps in the world. Why limit it only to the I-phone? Why do we all have to be pigeon holed into buying an I-phone if we want to utilize our accordance products on the go? What if I don't like the I-phone and have purchased a phone that is much better and not as expensive for its monthly services (ATT has had a monopoly on this for a while and they charge like it). Come on Accordance, help us out on this one.... Thanks, and don't worry, I still love Accordance!</p>]]></description><pubDate>Wed, 09 Feb 2011 15:46:42 -0500</pubDate><guid>https://www.accordancebible.com/3394664</guid><dc:creator>Kevin</dc:creator></item><item><title>Mike Sheley</title><link>https://www.accordancebible.com/3394664</link><description><![CDATA[<p>I am eagerly looking forward to syncing my notes, highlights, etc. from iPod Touch to MacBook Pro. &nbsp;Currently, I use OliveTree's Bible Reader on my iPod Touch, sync to the cloud using Evernote, then copy and paste into Accordance. &nbsp;It works, but the seamless integration is going to be huge for me, especially as a pastor.</p>

I love the program and I use it more and more to study and do exegesis. Now I will have to buy an ipod touch just to run these other apps.

This Bible study thing is moving me into a lot of new technology.</p>]]></description><pubDate>Tue, 14 Sep 2010 23:14:11 -0400</pubDate><guid>https://www.accordancebible.com/3394664</guid><dc:creator>Michael Britton</dc:creator></item><item><title>Joe Finkelstein</title><link>https://www.accordancebible.com/3394664</link><description><![CDATA[<p>Helen,</p>

The space on the iPhone will entirely depend on what you choose to load onto your Accordance. Some modules are very large but most texts are quite small. You can look in the Finder to see what you have right now on the Mac.</p>]]></description><pubDate>Sat, 04 Sep 2010 09:13:01 -0400</pubDate><guid>https://www.accordancebible.com/3394664</guid><dc:creator>Helen Brown</dc:creator></item><item><title>Alan Kurschner</title><link>https://www.accordancebible.com/3394664</link><description><![CDATA[<p>Maybe this was already addressed or asked in another post, but will there be an app for the Droid?</p>]]></description><pubDate>Fri, 03 Sep 2010 22:33:12 -0400</pubDate><guid>https://www.accordancebible.com/3394664</guid><dc:creator>Alan Kurschner</dc:creator></item><item><title>Alan Kurschner</title><link>https://www.accordancebible.com/3394664</link><description><![CDATA[<p>How much space will the Accordance app take up on the iPhone?</p>

It is free to use (even if you don't have the purchased computer software) and it references to libraries are over the internet. I would like to see two things: &nbsp;one being an app over several platforms, Android, Apple, Blackberry; and or two, maybe an option to purchase and download different versions of the bible to your sd card on your mobile devise, Cadrebible for android is a good example.&nbsp;</p>]]></description><pubDate>Wed, 01 Sep 2010 11:42:22 -0400</pubDate><guid>https://www.accordancebible.com/3394664</guid><dc:creator>jerad penick</dc:creator></item><item><title>Rino Dattilo</title><link>https://www.accordancebible.com/3394664</link><description><![CDATA[<p>David!</p>
<p>It looks awesome. And since I am not a programmer I have a question; how difficult is porting this application over to android? I live in an AT&amp;T dead zone and in SoCal, the dropped calls are legendary. I love my Sprint EVO and actually have grown to love the Android OS. Now would I have an iPhone if the offered it? That could be a toss up. So, is it possible? If it is, do you think that you will do it? Would you think about it???</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Thanks my friend,</p>
<p>Rino</p>]]></description><pubDate>Mon, 23 Aug 2010 11:42:01 -0400</pubDate><guid>https://www.accordancebible.com/3394664</guid><dc:creator>Rino Dattilo</dc:creator></item><item><title>Monty Lee</title><link>https://www.accordancebible.com/3394664</link><description><![CDATA[<p><span style="color: #333333; font-family: 'lucida grande', tahoma, verdana, arial, sans-serif; line-height: normal; font-size: 11px;">I have several Bibles on my iPod Touch and the best for me is Olive Tree Bible Reader software, version 4 (<a style="cursor: pointer; color: #3b5998; text-decoration: none;" rel="nofollow" href="http://www.olivetree.com/iphone/" target="_blank"><span>http://www.olivetree.com/i</span>phone/</a>). I rely on the ESV Bundle. Hands down it is the quickest going to a particular verse, seeing the notes, and highlighting key passages. I hope the Accordance iPhone is at least this easy to use.</span></p>]]></description><pubDate>Sun, 22 Aug 2010 19:56:06 -0400</pubDate><guid>https://www.accordancebible.com/3394664</guid><dc:creator>Monty Lee</dc:creator></item><item><title>James N</title><link>https://www.accordancebible.com/3394664</link><description><![CDATA[<p>I'm really looking forward to the Accordance app. for iPad.</p>
<p>In the meantime, I've been duplicating several of the reference works that I already own for Accordance by purchasing from Olive Tree. &nbsp;I really like the Bible Reader setup and am happy with many of the modules (especially the ESV Study Bible and the new Strong's edition of the ESV and the HSCB Strong's.) The easy way to access references and notes with a touch instead of a separate box is great and makes the iPad a more enjoyable device for reading a study bible compared to my Mac Pro. &nbsp;I hope that the Accordance app will allow this same kind of use.</p>
<p>However, &nbsp;some items like the NLT Study Bible and Unger's Bible Dictionary in Olive Tree suffer from big problems when accessing verse references. &nbsp;Many go to the wrong references. &nbsp;I've become spoiled by the meticulous near perfection of the work done by Accordance- It seems that you really do get what you pay for when paying the higher prices for the Accordance software.</p>
<p>I'll be really happy to eventually standardize on the Accordance versions on my iPad. &nbsp;</p>]]></description><pubDate>Thu, 19 Aug 2010 10:11:44 -0400</pubDate><guid>https://www.accordancebible.com/3394664</guid><dc:creator>James N</dc:creator></item><item><title>michael</title><link>https://www.accordancebible.com/3394664</link><description><![CDATA[<p>David:</p>
<p>Thank you for your assurance regarding the modules!</p>
<p>As much as I ENJOY BibleReader (it really is a powerful app to use!), I simply cannot continue to afford to spend $ for two separate devices-platforms! I would rather give my $ to OakTree - because I've already invested extensively into Accordance - to acquire more needed modules, instead of purchasing, AGAIN, GNT/MT/LXX/BDB/BDAG/HALOT,etc. for my iPhone.</p>
<p>Henceforth, I'll remain quite loyal ($) toward OakTree (sorry OliveTree but to costly in the long-term).</p>
<p>THANKS AGAIN!!!!</p>]]></description><pubDate>Wed, 18 Aug 2010 21:03:51 -0400</pubDate><guid>https://www.accordancebible.com/3394664</guid><dc:creator>michael</dc:creator></item><item><title>David Lang</title><link>https://www.accordancebible.com/3394664</link><description><![CDATA[<p>
<p>Jason, I am certainly aware that there are many other iOS Bible apps which enable you to look up passages quickly. In fact, I mentioned them when I contrasted our method of navigation with those of "most other programs I've seen."</p>
<p>While this blog post merely relates my experience of using our app in the most basic of ways, I did drop a hint of at least one unique search capability (I'm surprised no one seems to have picked up on it) and implied that there are already many more. I can assure you that you will have most of what you are looking for in the initial release of the app, but as I said, we've got to make sure we get the basics right as well. A top-heavy app with powerful features but clumsy navigation is most certainly <em>not</em> what Accordance users are looking for.</p>
<p>With respect to being able to use your already purchased Accordance modules without having to pay for them again, that's a given. In fact, it's the main reason we're developing Accordance for the iPhone and iPad. So be encouraged, the news is all good! :-)</p>

<p>I would suggest, even GLADY, that you charge $10-$20 for the app but allow us to use our ALREADY PURCHASED MODULES instead of charging us for them individually (like Craig Adam's mention of Olive Tree - who can [continually] pay to purchase modules for two separate devices: Accordance GNT &amp; MT for Mac &amp; Olive Tree's for iPhone/iPad???? I would rather pay even $20 for the reader and $0 for the own modules...</p>
<p>Gratefully yours,</p>

I currently use pocketsword for ancient languages and Olivetree for ease of use. I'd use Olivetree the whole time, except that I don't want to fork out $57 for untagged GNT and BHS.

ESV Bible, Youversions Bible, Olive Tree, to name a few).&nbsp; What we are all waiting for is to be able to study the Bible using the resources we have already purchased from Accordance.&nbsp; To be able to take notes, highlight, search original language, commentaries, etc.&nbsp; Please give us a blog about that, as I think that is what your constomers have been looking for.&nbsp; Also, it would be very discouraging if the original release was not ipad compatible as that is really a great format for study because of screen size.&nbsp;</p>]]></description><pubDate>Tue, 17 Aug 2010 12:20:11 -0400</pubDate><guid>https://www.accordancebible.com/3394664</guid><dc:creator>Jason</dc:creator></item><item><title>Helen Brown</title><link>https://www.accordancebible.com/3394664</link><description><![CDATA[<p>Karl: Your iPod Touch will run Accordance if you have at least version 3.0 of the iOS (system software).
