SmithMicro Quickverse 2010 Review Apr 24, 2010
By J. Creasy
The Amazon advertisement for this item and the box it came in, all said 2010 version. During the CD installation, it said Quickverse 2009 version on the monitor. The fine print on the CD said Copyright 2009, Rev. 08.27.09. This indicates false advertising, in my opinion. I suspect SmithMicro had some left over 2009 CD's and somehow, they got put into the 2010 boxes. What is more irritating, today I received an email from Amazon.com to upgrade to SmithMicro Quickverse 2010 version for a price higher than I recently paid for the original "2010" version. The content on the CD is good, but I've wondered what was left off the version I received.

 Houston, we have a problem! May 30, 2011
By fiveironhacker
I paid for the QV 2010 software and received the QV 2009 version in a QV 2010 box.
When I complained, the vendor sent me the Bible Suite CD, NOT what I had ordered from him.
I contacted Smith Micro and was told they had never heard of such an anomaly.
Subsequently, I bought the QV 2010 from Office Depot and found in it the QV 2009 version.
Office Depot has refunded my full amount.
I contacted Smith Micro AGAIN regards this anomaly, and received an acknowledgement that something is wrong.
Do-ya-think?
Smith Micro has agreed to provide me the QV 2010 CD at no cost.
I will not deal with this doo-fus vendor from whom I first bought the software.
I have yet to receive the QV 2010 Software.
I may select another product.

Shipped the wrong version Dec 22, 2011
By Bo
I purchased QuickVerse 2010. The supplier was Green Valley Place Amazon Marketplace.
I received the package promptly. The package was labeled QuickVerse 2010. The written material in the box referred to QuickVerse 2010. The CD in the package was QuickVerse 2009.
I contacted Green Valley Place and told them about my problem. They referred me to the manufacturer SMITH MICRO SOFTWARE. I wrote them and explained the problem. They have written back saying they no longer publish Qucik Verse and have referred me to FindEx. I have written them and have had no reply.
Bottom Line. I paid for a product that I have not received.

Counter intuitive interface Apr 20, 2011
By Aintnorock
I first bought QV version 1. 2010 is like version 10. I currently also own v 4 which has fewer books available, but has more functionality. Search box is easier to use. Trying to synchronize Bibles and books is very difficult and I still haven't mastered it. Designing a view was easier in version 4. I'm not at all happy with this 2010 version and probably will continue using version 4 as long as it keeps working.
Update 3-20-2012
I've been using it for a while, and still find many things counter intuitive and have downgraded the program to 1 star from 2. I've mastered creating views, but only after having to reinstall it, just because I was at my wit's end. Prior to the reinstall, it said it was saving the view, but it was going nowhere and would revert back to a blank slate whenever you reopened the program. Still, in creating views, you cannot resize all the windows. If you try to do much of anything to the Commentary window, it just freezes the program.
I like to keep my own notes for future reference. The 2010 version doesn't support it if you have I.E. 9 (I still don't know why a browser should affect this program, but it does according to tech support.) You cannot open a note window. In fact, if you have follow the Help instructions, the button it references does not exist. I wrote to Tech Support, and their solution was to uninstall I.E. 9 and use I.E. 8. I don't think that's a viable solution and am amazed that they would even suggest it (without telling you that you'd lose a ton of browser speed and functionality. Support said they had fixed it in 2011, but not older versions. I wrote them back to ask when they were going to fix it. (no answer yet)
If you can get past the interface, the quantity and quality of information on 2010 Essentials is pretty impressive except for the Bible translations you get. (Of course you can them for $20-$40 a pop) Notably missing: New International; New Living; New American Standard; Revised Standard; New Revised Standard, New Jerusalem. (Those are the MISSING volumes, folks.) If you're Catholic, you're out of luck - no Douay Reims, and no apocrypha, either.
Numerous commentaries, dictionaries, maps, illustrations, Hebrew Greek Bible (you have to search for this - it's listed as a concordance ?????? ), sermon starters, encyclopedias, and reading programs etc. are included.
I wish that QuickVerse would make a cheaper version that has less extraneous "stuff", more current versions of the Bible, and a better interface. All in all, I still like Quickverse 4 the best. If you can still find it, I would use it rather than laying out for 2010 which is buggy and doesn't deliver, certainly not the $300 that QV charges.
