Provides bible information
BiblePro from BibleOcean is a free software Bible with interactive features that make it a fine study tool. You can add a raft of extras, such as Bible editions, maps, illustrations, numerous commentaries, and other resources by what was claimed to be an additional free download. However, we discovered that it requires a "donation" to download the "free CD" and other extras.
When we installed and opened BiblePro, a pop-up let us enter our e-mail address to activate the program's free registration, which entitles users to perpetual free updates. The Word-style interface opened with Genesis displayed in the main window in two tabs, one for American Standard Version and another for the King James Version. A left-hand tree view displayed expandable chapter headings, while two panels below offered References and Commentaries, each tabbed with numerous entries, including well-known reference texts. Unfortunately, whenever we toggled between the ASV and KJV tabs, three tabs with ad links would open in our browser; apparently, the for-pay download alleviates this annoyance. We clicked Book Library, which offered the same download link. We tried the Maps button; again, we were offered a chance to buy something. Visual Bible Study, iPod and Android; it seemed whatever we tried on the toolbar led to an empty entry, a new browser tab or three, and the opportunity to use Paypal. The download includes WebBible, a link to an online version that offers more features, albeit in an ad-supported online format.
