How it works

When you open QuickVerse, the full text of the active Bible (in this case, NKJV) appears in a scrollable window. If you're taking notes or using a study tool (e.g. the Believer's Study Bible), a Notes window appears underneath the Bible window. QuickVerse tags any Bible passages, chapters or books that have corresponding notes; you display the notes by just clicking the tag. Conversely, any verse references in the Notes window appear in green text, and you can display the verse in the Bible window by double-clicking on the green text. If you create your own notes, you can choose to attach them to single words, verses, chapters or books. QuickVerse automatically identifies any verse references in your notes and links them to the Bible text without further ado. While you can't link images to notes you create yourself, the Believer's Study Bible (and, presumably other QuickVerse-supported study tools) includes maps and charts that you can view by clicking on green text in the Notes window.

You can open multiple Bible translations simultaneously, synchronising each window to always display the same verse. QuickVerse offers 12 colours of highlight for marking any Bible text, and enables you to create indexes and place up to 10 bookmarks in each Bible.

QuickVerse has advanced search capabilities. You can search for single words or phrases, and combine words using Boolean operators such as AND or OR. Proximity operators enable you to search for words or phrases that occur within a certain distance of another word or phrase. For instance, any occurrences of "John" within 5 words of "James". QuickVerse remembers the results of the last 50 searches performed, and includes a Word List that lists all the words in the Bible and the number of times they occur. If you study the Scriptures on a regular basis, QuickVerse can help you with a daily reading plan. You choose what you want to read (e.g. the Old or New Testament, the whole Bible, Gospel, Letters of Paul and so on) then select a time frame and the days of the week you plan to read. QuickVerse automatically allocates verses to each day, and monitors your progress. While this feature is quite basic, it is flexible enough to allow you to read at a different pace from your plan, and it won't be too strident if you're behind in your reading!
