This blows me away! What an incredible tool! I praise God for all your efforts in making these kinds of tools available!!

I have never used the desktop version of Accordance but have just started using the IOS version on my iPhone. I have been looking for a good Strong's included app for some time having used eSword on Windows-based devices in the past. Version 1 is a great start but I would hope that Instant Details for the Greek/Hebrew lexicons is being considered as high priority and preferably in a parallel pane. Also echo Bill's comment about return to Gen 1.1 after using a tool. Keep up the good work please.

I'd like to second Mike's comments about more detail in the Instant Details window... As you are only concentrating on one thing at a time, using more screen wouldn't really be a problem...

being able to copy the Hebrew and paste it into TWOT for example is very useful. A drop-down list of possible Hyperlinks would obviously be better... but all in all a good start.. Many thanks for the hard work...

A wonderful start! A few observations:

1. In the text window, the color difference between "Words" and "Verses" is rather subtle to my tired old eyes.

2. The HALOT isn't available for use in a parallel pane. thus one must close out of the text, and open the HALOT. While that's a bit awkward, it's still OK. What's not OK is that when you go back to the text, what gets displayed is Gen 1:1, rather than the place where you left off. Thus, the app is not-yet-ready-for-prime-time when it comes to word study.

Keep up the great work.

Mike, I'm not affiliated with Accordance, but I do know that, as of right now, Apple has not opened up AirPlay video (only audio) to third party apps. That's why you can stream Pandora to your AppleTV, but Netflix will only send the audio. Only Apple apps (Video, YouTube, etc) will send the video stream right now. It's completely possible for the 3rd party apps to do it, but Apple has to allow it first.

David, is there any possibility in the future that a more detailed (but basic) definition of Hebrew and Greek words could be added to the instant details window. Just thinking and dreaming out loud, but it would great to the have instant details window tied into whatever lexicon I have loaded (or use most frequently) on my iPad.

Also, what about the possibility of incorporating airplay to project our notes, text, etc., onto the bigger screen using Apple TV?

A big thanks to the team there at Accordance for making a great Bible study software program even better using iOS!

It's good to see that we have the ability to copy and paste from the ID window. Will we eventually have the ability to copy and paste from texts and tools. For me this is vital.
