I actually wanted to give this app a higher rating, because I really love the format and layout, highlighting and note options, and the pop-up access to multiple resources: i.e. Greek/Hebrew lexicons; commentaries; dictionaries; cross references; concordances; study tools; etc. It’s very easy on the eyes, too, in my opinion, and makes reading/study fairly enjoyable. BUT, I really feel that the parallel bible/translation option is really lacking, compared to eSword, which allows top-down listing of essentially unlimited translations/versions for verse-by-verse viewing/comparison, as well as multiple side-by side parallel translation by chapter/verse viewing/comparison, whereas Olive Tree only allows for one parallel version at a time, and it’s not side by side, but in the resource center pop-up option, which makes comparison viewing more difficult than easy, as my eyes have to jump around the screen. However, eSword definitely fails in not allowing footnotes/comments, or pop-up resource access for those multiple translation options (only allowing it for a single selected translation/version in their app’s main window), and unfortunately rather they have a very simplistic and bland user interface, that I personally find not as enjoyable to read. I just wish there were one app that had it all…
Thank you for your review. We appreciate all your feedback, and I will be happy to pass your thoughts about the Parallel window onto our development team.
