It took a little over an hour for me to do a full media install of Glo Premium on my ASUS, Windows 7, laptop.

Glo’s features are listed in the Amazon’s Product Description so I won’t go into those. I’ve been using this program off and on for a few weeks now. I think the loading time..switching between the lenses, topics, multi-media, etc..sometimes takes a few seconds but is fairly quick for such a large program. If I ever become an owner of a tablet, IPod Touch or IPad, I plan on downloading the Glo Bible IPad app & syncing my notes and/or bookmarks to the device. I hope to prepare presentations for Children’s Church. By the way, the collection of media in this program is amazing. There’s HD video, articles, photos, art, 360 degree virtual tours & more. I needed to use ‘Help’ to learn how to find my way around.

As a test, I did a search for Galatians 5:22; first it turned up nothing, but then I did a search in Galatians & also on the home page both searches pulled up the verse, 2 photos and a map. Clicking on the verse took me to the Galations 5, the highlighted Bible passage, study notes and a map. Clicking the photos brought up the photo, its description and other pertinent info. Clicking on the map brought up even more information. By the way, the amount of information that is brought up can be overwhelming.

Check out The Glo Blog, News & Updates on All Things Glo, g l o b i b l e. com / blog/ to learn how to use Glo in your presentations, and the usefulness of the right-click context menu. Clicking on ‘Features’ at the top of the page might be helpful to you too. Be sure to use the ‘help’ menu in this program too. If the web address isn’t showing in my review, just do a search for Glo Bible Blog to find the web page.

This program has many features, as I used it, I could only think that it needed a few more. To make this program perfect & even more useful to me, I’d like to see the following added:nnAudible dictionary; I’d like to be able to click on a word, go to the definition & also hear how it’s pronounced.

A few more Bible versions; currently it has NIV 1984 & 2010, KJV, The Message & ESV. I’d like to see NLT added. I’d also like the Bible versions in parallel format so I could read the same passage in different versions side-by-side.

I wish the Bible timeline also showed the events happening in world history.

And, I wish the Life Application Notes were included.

In my opinion, adding these items would make this software perfect!nnThis program is huge with many, many interactive features; it can be overwhelming. Take your time, don’t feel intimidated & soon you’ll be comfortable with the wealth of information found in Glo Premium.

UPDATE: I recently rec’d an IPod Touch & added the Glo Bible App; now I have Glo Premium on my IPod Touch, it syncs with the program on my laptop. Some of the Premium features are not included in the IPod app. I’m loving this on the IPod.
