Bible Software

[ByTheSpirit]

If you use Bible Software on your mobile or PC, what one do you prefer?

I have a really difficult time choosing between Logos, Olive Tree, and eSword. I think I like Logos the best, but that's only when I have an internet connection available. eSword I think is the next best for the amount of free resources it provides.

But again, I'm curious if someone here knows of some other program I may be missing out on that may be more extensive, I don't like using the word better necessarily.

I use BibleSoft. They have a free version of One Touch which has many Bible versions, cross-reference tools, commentaries, dictionaries, etc. See biblesoft.com

I have used E-Sword, which is free, for 30+ years and it has mostly been sufficient. It has something like 30-40 Bible versions. I use English, Greek. Hebrew and Korean Bibles.
Since I am now better off financially in the past few years I have also started using Logos to have access to more recent resources not available on E-Sword e.g. BDB, Hebrew lexicon, BGAD Greek lexicon, in-copyright ECF writings. I use Blue Letter Bible on my Iphone . I don't think ESword offers an iphone version.

I know of two that are very usefull: OpenBible.info Cut and paste, otherwise type when it open, under Labs, the only one I have used so far: 6th one says cross references, when it opens just place any verse in there and it will open 5 to 15 references of the same subject as the verse you put it to research. When they open up, while searching those if somethings makes you think of something else just click on that verse and it will do the same, open up others on same topic, I use this quite often.

Biblehub is really the best cloud-based solution out there as far as I’m concerned.

I would agree that also is a very good one and even has those commentaries of the former great men who proclaimed the truths of the word. The reason I use openbible.info more is because it gives me quick access to the individual verses on the same context as the one I am seeking more insight on at the time. Every tub sets on its own bottom, as far as preferences. I like both of these and a few more, one can discover a lot of aids on the internet, one reason I like the internet. Thanks for input.

I suggest getting a reader tablet. And seeing which software is compatible.
Each study software has their pros and cons. I'd compile a list, then allot a week to try each. You might find something useful that way. The first rule when it comes to digital software is, free is best.
