Overall I think this is a good product. I think the amount of information is outstanding. However, the software is pretty buggy and the UI is clunky. I think more investment in the actual software is in much need. I also think this should have been made into a web application. It would be easier to maintain from a software stand point. |

Excellent Resource at Affordable Price

Very excited to find a Catholic based bible study. Super affordable, cheaper than anything else out there. I had software issues at first but tech support offered a "patch" on their website to fix glitches and now I have no problems. The programmer is working on making search and cross referencing easier and more efficient. Tech support was very responsive and helpful every time I called. They welcome user input and recommendations as this is a brand new program and they are diligently working to make it better. Definately worth the investment. |
I Was Disappointed
| By: | pgturgati (Ocala, FL, February 22, 2009) |
|---|---|
| Pros: | Informative; Deserves Multiple Readings; Well Written; |
| Cons: | Software interaction bad; Disappointing; |
| Best Uses: | Reference; |
| Describe Yourself: | Everyday Reader; |
| Bottom Line: |
I had to return the product due to software problems. I could access the program but only through a tedious route. The software has too many problems to be of any real value. However, if you were able to get the program to work properly it would be worth it to have this information cross-referenced at your fingertips. I can access all or most of this information online. However I would not be able to perform a search in one place and then have it cross-reference the information. I tried to contact support, but was unable through several attempts. |

This product has many, many great features and loads of information available. A great reference resource. The only thing I haven't figured out how to do or if it can be done, is copying and pasting bible verses I select and need to put together for study purposes. But overall, the material is great. |
