Guessing it might be cost prohibitive. As I have never heard of it, can you share the ideological bent of the author? And is he the author or editor?
 
FYI:
I found the following quotation here: https://www.studylight.org/commentaries/eng/gbc.html
Windell Gann is a distinguished figure in the realm of biblical studies and commentary, particularly renowned for his in-depth analysis and interpretation of the Scriptures. With a passionate commitment to understanding and elucidating the Bible, Gann's work is characterized by its clarity, depth, and accessibility, making profound theological concepts understandable to a broad audience.

Gann's contributions to biblical scholarship are extensive, spanning various formats including written commentaries, online resources, and engaging lectures. His work is grounded in a deep respect for the historical context of biblical texts, combined with a keen insight into their practical relevance for contemporary readers. This dual focus ensures that his interpretations are not only academically rigorous but also deeply meaningful for personal and communal faith.

A hallmark of Gann's approach is his meticulous attention to detail. He carefully examines linguistic nuances and cultural backgrounds of the Scriptures, offering readers a richly textured understanding of the text. Despite this depth of scholarship, Gann's writing remains accessible and engaging, reflecting his belief that the Bible is a living document, meant to speak to individuals across all walks of life.

Moreover, Windell Gann's work is imbued with a pastoral sensibility. He approaches the Bible not just as a text to be studied but as a source of guidance, comfort, and inspiration. His commentary often includes practical applications that encourage readers to live out their faith in meaningful ways, bridging the gap between ancient scripture and modern life.

In addition to his written work, Gann is a respected teacher and speaker, known for his ability to convey complex biblical themes with simplicity and power. His dedication to sharing the transformative power of Scripture has made a lasting impact on countless students and readers worldwide, solidifying his reputation as a trusted voice in biblical commentary and study.

So I looked further to see if I could figure out what type of scholarship was referred to. I found an almost blank page here (https://windellgann.com/about) but a link indicating a relationship with the "Rogersville Church of Christ". The link to it also opens a blank page. But I think it's safe to assume that the author is coming from the perspective of those who believe that baptism (immersion) is necessary for salvation, since that is one of the basic doctrines of those in "Churches of Christ" meetings. The Rogersville seems to be in Alabama.
 
Thanks friend! I could not find anything

I just like his points and lots of cross references.

I would have much better time (study) ability in Swordsearcher.

He is the author

I found him downloadable on two other bible programs.

The inclusions in other Bible programs doesn't mean that it won't be cost prohibitive for SS. Sorenson's UTB is an add-on module for those wishing to purchase (I did) and it was $100 (I think, somewhere in that range). That's for an individual purchase. The author may not have wanted to license it to Brandon, or might have been cost prohibitive from Brandon's perspective. Either way, purchasing it individually is a good alternative for those who want it. I don't speak for @Brandon Staggs but I would think if there was sufficient interest & the author was amendable & if all the details can be worked out, they might be able to come to an agreement. But I'm not on that end of things.

And as you have done, it never hurts to ask!

Church of Christ. That's sufficient info to make it a hard no for me. All the accolades and flattering descriptions can't overcome heresy. Thank you Eric for providing the info.
