InstaVerse for Windows

User Reviews

• Doesn't Work in Windows 7. Recent 'update' killed it.

  billsutton1November 2, 2012

  Pros

  Was great while it worked.

  Cons

  October 2012 update killed it in my computers. Windows gives error messages that nobody is able to figure out. "Support" at the publisher (Word Search) is basically non-existent.

  Summary

  This is very disappointing. The publisher (Word Search) seems uninterested in addressing the problem. Suggest caution.

• excellent program. Can't imagine working without it.

  September 3, 2010

  Pros

  Popup scripture plus hotkey insertion. Many versions available and easy to switch from one to the other. Not know why some say it does'nt work in Vista. I am a pastor and use it everyday in Vista. All features are functional. It is a delight to use.

  Cons

  Popup works in WIn7 but not the scripture insertion hotkeys. Wish they would upgrade the software. I would pay again for a WIN7 functional version.

  Summary

  Great program ...needs a WIN7 version for scripture hot-key insertion.

• InstaVerse...Does not work using IE8 and Vista

  jhwalk51February 28, 2010

  Pros

  Works good in Word and Firefox with Vista

  Cons

  Fails often with IE8 and Vista

  Summary

  I have compared the effects of Insta verse in IE8 using Vista and Firefox using Vista. Over and over Insta verse fails in IE8 with Vista and succeeds with identical websites using Firefox in Vista. IWordsearch has not perfected InstaVerse in the Vista environment using IE 8.

• Great in XP - ZERO in Vista

  JIMNSCDecember 30, 2009

  Pros

  Works well in XP No longer have to open Bible program separately

  Cons

  Did not try with IE but did with Firefox (latest) Will not work EZWORD nor Instaverse works in Vista

  Summary

  Tried Instaverse first for free - would not work, BOUGHT EZWORD for $10 and it wouldn't work - but - not all is lost as both worked on desktop with XP.

• slick program works fairly well with Vista

  SNARELIPSJuly 11, 2009

  Pros

  Instant pop up(s) - works well in IE8, also with Eudora etc.

  Cons

  WordSearch says it is working for a specific version for Vista, but that is very questionable. A year ago or better, they informed me they would have a Vista version out soon. Strangely enough, they still haven't accomplished that huge feat.

  Summary

  Overall, this still works very well in Vista spite the fact it is not supposed to be Vista compatible and it works well in the number one e-mailer, which is Eudora!

• This product is a GREAT help for looking up verses

  mistered4May 14, 2009

  Pros

  Works well with XP. Verse pops up when cursor is placed over reference in numerous programs. Can quickly open a window to look up a verse. Many Bible versions available at reasonable cost.

  Cons

  DOES NOT work with Vista. No list of previous verses, to avoid reentering reference. WordSearch has no projected date for upgrade to Vista.

  Summary

  Having used InstaVerse (also known as EZWord from LifeWay) for many years, I found it to be a great little program to quickly access a verse in a Bible of choice. Works great in Win XP, but is incompatible with Vista, and likely Win 7 as well. As a Vista x64 user...I sure miss this handy program!
