Safety overview
Status: Safe
This is legitimate Bible study software. It normally needs access to its own documents, downloaded study materials, and user-created notes in order to open libraries and save work. Keep it if you use Accordance or any purchased modules, because removing the app can also interrupt access to local resources and study layouts until it is reinstalled.
Recommendation: Keep Accordance if you use it for Bible reading, teaching, research, or sermon preparation. Remove it only if you no longer use the app or its study library, and make sure any notes or downloaded resources you want to keep are backed up first.
