vhs was more versatile even if beta was supposedly better quality.

Comparing apple to android is like comparing beta to vhs. I am disheartened that you chose apple to provide for instead of android. MySword does NOT compare favorable to your awesome work. It just is not comfortable having a laptop at a bible study. I inherited my android device when my dad died 3 years ago and was thrilled with the size and ease of use (though there could always be improvements) I have led and been apart of several bible studies and loved the idea of having the resources on hand when questions came up that I couldn’t answer. My husband is/was a local pastor and every church we moved to, I left a copy on the office computer. Like SOOOO many others, I have been an E-Sword user for years. RM: I already have Greek texts working quite nicely, but there is even more that I wanted to do with the texts so I chose to hold off until the next update. So I made the large investment in development costs to create the app, thus I am holding them to their word 🙂īSR: Since Bible Software Review has a certain academic edge to it, could we expect to see any Greek and Hebrew resources soon? What about the ability to search Greek and Hebrew? Everyone who begged me to create an iPad app said they would pay for it. RM: e-Sword is still free, so no change there. RM: Version 1.0 cannot have everything! I am currently working with Josh Bond and others to integrate the massive user group module library.īSR: Given the fact that e-Sword has traditionally been considered freeware, how did you come to the conclusion that you were going to charge $4.99 for the iPad app? Is this a change in your philosophy as a Bible software developer? How is all this going to fit with the current “official-modules-only” approach of e-Sword HD? In fact, one of its great strengths is the impressive amount of user modules available in every conceivable language. RM: You forgot SwordSearcher 🙂 Only our relationship we share in Christ!īSR: e-Sword has a very large and active user base. Is there any relationship between e-Sword and the other two? RM: MySword is pretty good and has access to all of the many user group modules.īSR: I know quite a few people who get confused with names like e-Sword, MySword and The Sword Project. What follows is an unedited version of our “conversation.”īible Software Review: What led you to create an iOS version of e-Sword and why is it only available for iPads?īSR: I can hear the voice of many Android users asking themselves, We’ll we ever see an Android version of e-Sword? He’s extremely busy at the moment, so I doubly appreciate his willingness to make himself available to us. Rick Meyers, author of e-Sword, has kindly agreed to answer a few questions in the wake of the release of e-Sword HD for iPad.
