I appreciate the mysword app and am fine getting it from their web page or leaving it not updated.

I don't know what's happening behind the scene.

On one side, if they are a tax exempt organization ( which i don't see anything listed as) then it would be an extra( although tiny) benefit for its users.

If its a conscience thing where they don't feel comfortable selling gods word. I appreciate that heart, but when its a immediately correlated dollar amount for benefit, the situation can be confused easily with a sale..

Although it does remind me of tv preachers and pbs stations " for a gift of...we will give you"

From Google perspective im curious if categorizing it as a donation prevents them from getting a cut. I think Christians should be able to make gifts to fellow believers whose mission they support.

Again I'm not judging mysword who has been very generous with its sharing and willing to pull off Google for its principles.

I hope we continue to support them.

You are way out of line sir, respectfully you have no idea of the back story and the details and neither do I. and for you to bear false witness and accuse them of greed is way over the Christian line. A laborer is worth their hire and a days labor is worth a days pay. Maybe you otta worry about developing better tools for esword for apple because i paid for it and its a hot piece of garbage. the layout sucks, the abbreviations for books and its layout is unintuitive and the inability to port over your notes, bibles and other features you spent time putting into your pc esword and paid bibles without being able to make them mobile to an app you paid for is just plain broken and frustrating at best. Mysword free version is way better than the paid version of esword hands down. so put that paid version of android esword in your greed pipe and smoke it. i deleted the paid version of esword and use free mysword.

About the only thing that is missing from the Android edition of e-Sword is the Topic Note editor. Add that in then everything will be pretty much to par with the PC edition of e-Sword. The only other thing that needs improvement it the ability to create multiple study notes, then I'd be a happy camper.

 

Now, with that said, best part about having e-Sword for Droid, is the fact all the official files you have on your desktop version, you have for your Droid version. Moreover, what premium resources you have bought for your desktop edition of e-Sword, you can install on your Droid edition without paying for them again. The great thing about this is that you have a seamless study method to where you are able to interact between your PC and Phone or Tablet.

 

Now here is even the best part. I use Samsung Android devices: both phone and tablet. Now, particularly with my phone, I can run my phone on my Desktop using Microsoft's Phone Link on my Desktop, and directly interact between PC and Phone using both editions of e-Sword. So, because I have the same resources on my phone as on my PC, this makes it a real dream come true for when it comes to cross referencing information.

 

At the moment I cant use my tablet because e-Sword for Droid is not compatible due to it being pretty old (about 8 years I think).

 

So looking at all of this, I can definitely say I know which side my bread is buttered, and so blessed by it.

 

Blessings,
