Jeremy, we agree, and are actively working on a UI update which I think you are going to really appreciate. Please be patient as these things take time.

I'm a recent Mac convert who just switched over from BibleWorks to Accordance...I have to say I ENJOY USING Accordance over against BibleWorks due to its speed, ease of use, & elegant layout.

However, my only complaint is that it doesn't look like a real modern-Mac app (21st century), i.e., the UI has a very plain 2D face; whereas, other apps that I'm using are far more 3D looking animated face- very pleasant to use & look at. Example: Accordance's graphs (including the Construct Window); interface icons (though the icons in the Resource Palette are modernly pleasant to look at, but not A.'s actual interface icons); & even Timeline uses a 2D construct to show distances of time.

P.S. Though I have to admit: Bibleworks is a great program for what it does & for what it offers, but now using a Mac, its Windows UI pales in comparison to Accordance's - I'm glad I switched; just would like to see the same interface but updated with a 3D flowing, animated face.

I completely agree. But not only speed is an issue, but annoying bugs. I know no software package is perfect, but at what point are you expecting users to debug your software so that you can rush out new features? This approach just seems so incongruent to the whole ethos of the Apple Mac platform in the first place.

All this said, I urge Accordance to stay the course on their standards. It is one of the things that makes Accordance stand out of the pack!
