Accordance – In Search of a New Editor

I love Accordance. To me, it’s the Bible Study software. This isn’t to say other Bible apps are bad. I really enjoy Olive Tree, especially on mobile, and I always had a good experience with BibleWorks before I switched to Mac 1. It’s just that when I’m using Accordance I feel like I have the…
