I find the app overall to be quite intuitive and aesthetically pleasing. I appreciate that just a short tap is all that’s required to bring up details about a word or information on a text-critical sign. (And still get parsing popups from the surface text, when needed.) This is a good way to economize space: In that case, one can click on the sigla in the NA28 text for a pop-up with the apparatus. Here I have the text and apparatus open, and have simply tapped once on a Greek word to bring up a pop-up window with a gloss and parsing:Īnother possible arrangement would be to use one window for the Greek text, and a second window for an English translation. If you go about halfway down this post, you can see more detail (as well as click through to some good links) as to what the changes are. There are some distinct differences between the NA28 and the NA27. The text and apparatus are what you’d get if you bought a print version the parsings give morphological information, and the dictionary gives lexical detail. You won’t find it cheaper elsewhere, in any format. At the time of this blog post, it’s on sale for 50% off, so $45 instead of $90. I’ll look here at the “NA28 with Critical Apparatus, Mounce Parsings, and Concise Dictionary,” which you can find here. There are a few purchase options for the NA28 in Olive Tree.

You can also choose which of the two windows “leads” the other, if you tie them together. What I like about this app is that you can choose whether you want to sync the two windows or not. This is the same as the iOS apps in Accordance and Logos. The app allows for you to view one or two resources at a time. You can search any resource, and view both the results-in-context and individual hits together. I prefer the flick scrolling, so that the books move as a Webpage on my computer would move. You can use “flick scrolling” (as in iBooks) or “page scrolling” (as in Kindle). This accommodates just about any user. Here are a few things I especially like about the app: The Bible Study App is smooth, visually appealing, and easy to learn and use. In this post I look more in-depth at the NA28 in Olive Tree, with screenshots from their iPad (mini) app. I began to review their Bible Study App (for Mac desktop/laptop) here, with the Greek NA28 New Testament in view.

Olive Tree is another popular Bible software option, running on just about any platform and device, whether iOS, Mac, Windows, or Android. Which Bible software program should I buy? As 2014 begins, my answer to that question is still by far the most-visited post at Words on the Word.
