QuickVerse



Just as a note to my readers… Don’t buy QuickVerse software. Stay away. This company is greedy and rigs their software so it eventually stops working, and you have to pay for an upgrade.

About seven years ago, I bought one of their Deluxe software packages. I didn’t really care about the “searching” capability or anything like that, I just wanted a great deal on lots of books.

Well guess what? Now I can’t use any of those books unless I buy the new upgrade. I called and complained and they said that if I wanted to access those old books that I purchased, I have to buy the new software. I argued that if I bought a paper book, I could read it as long as I wanted, and wouldn’t have to buy the new edition when it came out. They woman on the phone rudely informed me that they don’t sell books, they sell software, and when the software expires, I have to buy new software if I want to keep reading the books that came with the software.

…Are you kidding me?!

So…Don’t Buy QuickVerse unless you want to keep buying the same books over and over for the rest of your life.  If you want Bible Study Software, go with Logos, BibleWorks, or E-Sword. It appears that none of these excellent companies recharge you for books you already bought. The E-Sword software package is always free, so once you buy a book, you should never have to pay to upgrade it.

Added Note: Guess what I found tonight! Bible Explorer for Windows! It also is free, and supposedly allows me to bring my old QuickVerse books into it! I’m going to give it a shot. I’ll let you know!

Added Note: Well, While Bible Explorer is free, and they have over 200 free titles, it appears that to transfer titles from QuickVerse to Bible Explorer, I have to pay a small fee per book. By the time I do all this, I could just pay for the new version of QuickVerse….

    I agree the same thing happen to me and I didn’t upgrade. QuickVerse is not good. I love BibleWorks great program.

    I’m still using BibleWorks 4!!! It’s ten years old! And it works on Windows 7. There is no better software for studying Greek and Hebrew.

    AMEN. After many years of buying many versions of Quickverse I just got a new computer and my version will not run on it. I contacted support and they will not even sell me an upgrade. I have to buy the new version. Not a chance.
    I was irritated in the past when they would call selling an upgrade and promise big user friendly changes, and then when I bought …no big changes.
    I am done with Quickverse.

      Yeah, I am still frustrated over it. All my commentaries and Bible study tools I had on that program….now just sitting useless on CDs in my shelf.

        Jeremy would you consider selling some of those CDs? I am searching for College Press OT commentaries.

          Jimmy,

          Sorry. This post was two years ago, I got rid of the disks.

I'm moving across the country and need Guest Posts while I move. Help me out!
