When we first developed the Bible Lands PhotoGuide, we envisioned it as a reference work and teaching tool. If Accordance users wanted to find out more about a site, they could look it up in the PhotoGuide and get an in depth description and photos with detailed captions. If they wanted to put together a […]
As I mentioned a little over a week ago, my wife and I are currently touring Israel with some other members of the Accordance team. I’ve already described how I created custom maps of each day’s itinerary to help my kids follow along with where we’ll be each day. The maps include representative images from […]
A couple weeks ago, I began telling you about our iOS app by showing some of its powerful search capabilities. Today I want to show you how to get instant information about the words or links under your cursor . . . I mean, finger. In the desktop version of Accordance, you can get instant […]

That’s the question we’ve been wrestling with as we developed Accordance for iOS. First, we realized there was no way we could do everything at […]
It seems no matter what I blog about these days, at least one iPad user responds with something to the effect of, “That’s great, but where’s my iPad app?” Yesterday, after blogging about the many ways we make Septuagint scholars smile, one user sent me this via Twitter: “how about making iPad using pastors smile??” […]
I used to work at a large church where Mondays were basically one long series of meetings.
