    5.0 out of 5 stars Amazing!! Finally--Bible software for the 21st century!!
    Reviewed in the United States on February 3, 2010
    Verified Purchase
    This Bible software is nothing short of amazing!! The media is awesome--zoomable atlas, timeline, artwork (both Biblical paintings and illustrations suitable for children--all of which can be printed out, which is great for Sunday School teachers like me), multimedia tours, encyclopedia articles, and on and on!! This definitely brings the Bible into the 21st century; I've used other Bible software programs, but they don't even compare to this (mostly old dry commentaries with no relevance for today's world).
    I had absolutely no trouble installing it, but I do have a nearly brand-new computer running Windows 7. As to those complaining about lack of help, I can't understand what you would need it for!! This is one of the most intuitive programs I've ever used! Wonderful!!

    1.0 out of 5 stars Wait for Glo
    Reviewed in the United States on November 25, 2009
    Verified Purchase
    I was very excited to purchase Glo after watching the promo video. The long install didn't bother me, but the program just isn't ready. The program lagged and was very sluggish on a Dell XPS 1330 with a core 2 processor, 3 gb of ram, and an Nvidia graphics card. When navigating their maps, the program would completely lock-up and crash. Also, the entire My Glo section is not even set-up yet. It is obvious that the product was not ready to ship and they rushed it out the door. How do you ship a program like this without an uninstall option. I had to e-mail the company and they sent me these instructions.

    Delete GLO's registry keys

    Please follow these steps.

    --------Delete GLO's registry keys--------
    1- Click the START button
    2- Windows Vista: In "start search" field, type the word "regedit"
    Windows XP: In the "Run" type the word "regedit"
    3- Click "Ok"
    4- Click the '+' sign next to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE to open it
    5- Click the '+' sign next to SOFTWARE to open it
    6- To delete Glo's registry key, single-click the folder called "IMMERSION DIGITAL" and Press the DELETE key on your keyboard.
    7- When RegEdit asks you to confirm the deletion, click YES
    8- Close the RegEdit window and move to the next step below

    --------Delete Program folder--------

    In Windows XP:
    1- Click on the Start button, select "Computer"
    2- Click on the C Drive
    3- Click on the Program Files folder
    4- Delete the Immersion Digital folder you will see in there

    In Vista:
    1- Click on the Start button, select "My Computer"
    2- Click on the C Drive
    3- Windows Vista 32 bits: Click on the Program Files folder
    Windows Vista 64 bits: Click on the Program Files (x86) folder
    4- Delete the Immersion Digital folder you will see in there
    5- Move to the next step below

    --------Delete data folder--------

    In Windows XP:
    1- Click on Start
    2- Click on "My Computer"
    3- Click on C:
    5- Click on "Documents and Settings"
    6- Click on "username" (your user name), also check under "All Users"
    7- Click on "Local Settings"
    8- Click on "Application Data"
    9- Delete the "Glo" folder (or "Immersion Digital" folder)

    On Windows Vista:
    1- Click on "Start"
    2- Click on "Computer"
    3- Click on C:
    4- Click on "ProgramData"
    5- Delete the "Glo" folder
    6- Move to the next step below

    (If your computer displays a message like "this folder is hidden" simply click to "show all" so you can see its content)

    This will remove Glo completely from your computer. Then you can install Glo cleanly from the beginning. There are several updates that will be available for you to download during the installation process, so please make sure that you get all of the updates.

    I mean come on. The program looks great, but it still needs some work. I would wait to see if they update it.

    I bought this Bible wanting to read more on my computer. Now Glo has expanded to the iOS devices and Android. The content that this Bible brings to you is amazing. If you are like me and want to see things in the Bible you read about, then this is for you. It has interactive maps, pictures and it will even link to online content. You can setup a Bible reading plan to help you read through the entire bible whether you are in front of your computer or on the go.

    4.0 out of 5 stars Glo Makes the Bible Fun Again! The Straight Scoop...
    Reviewed in the United States on May 12, 2010
    Verified Purchase
    Here's the straight scoop:

    The package: Glo is very nicely packaged in a 3 DVD disc set.
    Installation: This program is beefy since there is a lot to install. That being said, you should expect atleast two hours as I have corei7 processor with 6Gb of memory OCed at 3.8ghz. I also installed using SATA drives for maximum throughput performance. Sidenote: The installation will let you run a 'lite version' so you don't have to install everything or if you have limited space. The software will indicate if the appropriate DVD needs to be installed if you are trying to acquire a specific picture or document. Also, you need to make sure your PC has the latest DirectX and Windows patches. If not, there will be a delay in installation to install these as well. It also install a 'lite' sql database. Everything worked the first time on my windows XP and Windows 7 machine tests.
    Presentation: This is excellent. It's very intuitive. One user commented about a manual, but as long as your IQ is over 90, it's a piece of cake. Point and click. The virtual tours are great. It will take hours just to try everything.
    Content: It would take years to go through all the content, my cursory review indicates its solid but this it too hard to judge completely and would need to leave this up to someone else. It does come in the KJV and NIV versions.
    CONS: Simply put, sound. The digital generation is so used to sound when you point and click apps and or some other ambient noise/music. To date, I have not found that as something to turn on or off or at all. That part does dissapoint. It's like watching the Matrix on a HD screen with the sound turned off.
    Overall: I am very happy with the purchase and excited to get this on my kids computer and to use for teaching and studying the bible. I would recommend to others.

    4.0 out of 5 stars upgraded from one star to four
    Reviewed in Canada on November 13, 2009
    Verified Purchase
    I read the first review of this product expressing disappointment in technical glitches, and went ahead and bought the software anyhow. I'd previously installed a demo version and was quite impressed, and was excited about incorporating the software into my Religious Studies classes. All I can say is "don't do it." The software would not install. I assumed the demo version might be the cause, but trying to uninstall it was a nightmare. Fortunately, I have live-in tech help, and with some effort we uninstalled the demo, but to no avail. The "locked" portions (which should be unlocked in the full version) remain locked, and there was no way to install the second or third discs. Going to the website results in a "under development" message. Bottom line: great idea, glossy packaging, impressive demonstration kiosks in your local Christian bookstore, but it's a dud. The emperor has no clothes.

    Update: Things have improved since the first roll-out. Updates are released consistently, and the ipad app is decent. Also, you can use it across your multiple apple devices. I've upgraded my review from one star to four.
