Most important desired features for Accordance iPadOs 4.0

[danielamari]

The following are the most important features for me:

 

1) Separation between Accordance iOS and Accordance iPadOS. This is obvious. The features that I desire assumes a more sophisticated version that is incompatible with the iPhone and/or with the small size of the iPhone relative to the iPad.

 

2) Support for the Apple Magic case for the ipad. In particular on the trackpad: click and drag to select. 

 

3) Copy as a citation with the following features:

 

a) Copy as first citation: First Last, Book’s Name (Publisher, Year), Page number. (please no reference to Accordance, or make it optional in settings).

b/)  Copy as consequent citation: Last, Book’s Name, Page number. 

c) Copy as a Bibliographical item: Last, First. Book’s Name. Publisher, Year.

 

4) Research with all its functionality. This will require support for multiple panels and windows.

 

5) Graphical Search. Imagine how beautiful it would be on the ipad.

+1 on item 4. The ability to use any book, reference, or module in it’s own split pane is essential to workflow on an iPad. It’s the reason I buy the iPad Pros (first the 9.7, now the 11). And searching either pane individually is useful.
 

I hope this isn’t considered hijacking your thread, but I took it to mean for all of us to share the features most important to us to represent the desires of the entire user community (ie if a particular features had 10-20 people all requesting it).

 

I would like the ability to use the full book name,  both when reading in the app, and when copying verses.

My wish list goes way back and most of these have been asked for repeatedly in the past by others as well as me. But there are things i miss from the full fat version.

 

1 consistency using the best features and minimal scroling. The classic is when you change tools in the second pane.

 

2 if im reading a hard copy atlas and skim to another map, i can see the text. In accordance if i enlarge a map and move to other maps, i usually want to go to the text i linked to the new map im looking at, not go back to my entry point.

 

3 i want to be able to create and edit stacks.

 

4 iwant greater freedom in what i have in my two panes or even tabs. Text and lexicon, or commentary and atlas or...others frequently ask for more panes. Lots of options...

 

5 i want to be able to combine resources, wbc ot and nt, hebrew scripture and greek nt So when i scroll through an english translation the who original language scrolls. 
 

6 yes to research

 

7 some form of analytics, graphs may be a problem but the word use frequency would be a step. 

but ideally i would like apple to bring out an ipad that runs the full os so we can have parity without giving the accordance developers a head ache!

Amen to #3!

[ukfraser]

With the latest release, i certainly think #1 has been sorted!

 

And this is what i like about the accordance team, adding hide has shown their thought process and has just taken it that little step further.

 

so thanks.
