What our customer's say!

"QuickVerse Mac White Box a Waste of Money", QuickVerse White Box runs okay with Mac OS 10.3.9 (Panther), but will not run with Tiger or Leopard. Installing their recommended updates did nothing to improve this situation Quickverse Mac Bible Study 2007 White Box. I submitted a problem submission form to their Product Support about this problem. I got no response - they completely ignored me. This company that sells Christian software certainly runs their business in a very Un-Christian manner. Don't waste your money on their products.

"Quick Verse 2007 (White Box) for Mac", Quickverse Mac Bible Study 2007 White Box

** Installed on a 2007 iMac 24 w/Intel Core 2 Duo. Please note, immediately after installing, go to the QuickVerse website to update the software for Mac Leopard!!!

I am your run-of-the-mill lay person when it comes to the Bible. I wanted a program that could help me to get right to the heart of my questions, concerns, and curiosities. When I saw some of the previous reviews, I was a little hesitant, but thought I would take a risk. I LOVE THIS PRODUCT.

It was very easy to navigate through without having to take the time to go into the "read me" files. Like most family gatherings out there, we manage to get into debates over "what the Bible says" and "what we were brought up in the church to believe". Inevitably, someone always winds up quoting Shakespeare or Ben Franklin, convinced it was God's word. This really makes studying and looking up what the Bible "really says" so convenient. With 10 different Bibles, referencing and STUDYING seem less like a chore, and more like something I look forward to doing. I find myself looking up one topic, and the next thing I know, it's like surfing the internet - going here and there, and 2 hours have gone by. It's a powerful tool - especially when you feel challenged to make sure that Grandpa, Mom, or even the local Pastor is "telling it like it is".

"Horrible!!!", OK - this is about the most user unfriendly product I've purchased for the Mac - EVER! Installed it a few days ago and neither my wife or I can figure it out - I'm no dummy but I simply cannot figure out how to view a specific book in a translation of my choosing - or how to view any of the other books in the library - the Help function is worthless.

Pass on this - there's got to be a better Bible study software solution out there for the Mac!



"Primarily public-domain works with an eye towards the laity, not academia", [This review is for the "Black Box" version which has been out for months, despite Amazon's odd decision to choose a pre-order date of 9/30/07. My comments , however, still apply to the White Box version, though it obviously includes fewer unlocked books and translations (i.e. no NRSV, etc)]

TECHNICAL ISSUE: The Black Box version does not "sleep" well. My Mac has crashed twice I've installed Quickverse (it never had before). Each time was after sleeping with Quickverse running. I'm going to comtact Tech Support about it, but in the meantime, avoid sleeping your Mac(?book?) while Quickverse is running.

TECHNICAL ISSUE: Quotation marks are not rendered correctly in some windows either. I now officially rate this 1 star. NOT worth the price of admission. Stick with online resources until Logos get their Mac version out.

Main Review:
It is important to begin this review with the question "what else is there for a Mac?" The dearth of affordable, non-freeware Bible software for the Macintosh is painful to those of us engaged in academic work. The steadily advancing work on the Mac version of Logos stands as a bright spot on the horizon, but that horizon still appears to be months away (perhaps Christmas will see a "1.0" version?). Quickverse currently fills the gap, but only marginally so.

The software, developed by Parson Technology, is obviously driven by a relatively conservative agenda. The majority of works lean to the "right" and additions such as bible reading plans and prayer journals tend to fail to add to the academic "integrity" of this software. It is, in effect, software for the lay person, not the academician. That being said, the inclusion of the NRSV is a nice step in the right direction-- just not one worth 120+ usd.

I purchased the Black Box edition at a significant discount (under 60) and, at that price, it is adequate. I was still disappointed to see that the majority of "helps" are public-domain, meaning they show their age in numerous areas. The images and maps are nice, but are not always present (the included Holman Bble Dictionary has apparently been stripped of its images). Many of the works carry a noticeably exclusionary tone, but this is again due to their age (and the apparent motivation of the publisher).

The program performs well on the Mac, though load times are sometimes oddly long, especially given the UB nature of the program (moving window frames results in second-long redraw times of "Table of Contents" titles). Searches perform well enough, as does copying passages for inclusion in papers. Some of the comments bout "windows all over the place" are easily remidied by dragging new windows into pre-existing ones (I believe the help file explains this in more depth).

All in all, I'm satisfied with the program but only because I paid less than 50% of the msrp. If I had paid the going price of 120+ I would be rather angry. It will do until Logos gets a Mac version out, at which point I will gladly uninstall it to make room for my "Logos Scholar's Library".


"Quickverse down one", To make this a #5, Quickverse needs to have more help and instructions. Hard for me to work and use it yet---only read and enjoy. Merry Ann
