Version History of PocketBible Bible Study App

4.17.0

October 23, 2023

NEW FEATURES AND ENHANCEMENTS • Changed "Change Login ID or Password" to "Account Login" on the menu to better reflect what this function does. • We are now required to give you the option to delete your Laridian account anywhere that we give you the ability to create an account. Added a "Delete Account" feature to the Account Login dialog. Provided a full description of the data being deleted, the implications of deletion (since it affects PocketBible running on non-iOS platforms and permanently removes access to products you have paid for), and alternatives to account deletions in different situations — all to help reduce accidental permanent deletion of accounts. FIXES • Account Login screen how has a dark background in all contexts when a dark color scheme is chosen. • Fixed a layout problem on the Cloud Library screen for non-AFS subscribers. • Addressed an issue that caused the status line at the bottom of the library lists to be unreadable in some color schemes. • Addressed an issue that could cause an error or crash when deleting a note.

4.16.0

October 7, 2023

The primary purpose of version 4.16 is to update the code that reads our Bible files and understands how Bibles interact with each other. In addition, a number of other changes have been made: NEW FEATURES - Added a "direct keyboard entry" go-to-verse style to better support hardware keyboards on iPad. - Added press-and-hold link previews for most types of links in the note viewer. - Added ability to link to document fragments in notes. (Use plain text editor to add id= attribute to a tag; link with href="#id" syntax.) ENHANCEMENTS - Do a better job of managing the toolbox size when using a hardware keyboard attached to an iPad. - Support more types of link previews in book and Bible text. Change the way they are displayed to take up no more of the screen than required. - Accommodate more types of links being pasted into notes from PocketBible books and Bibles. - Added VoiceOver labels and hints to many more buttons. - Slight visual changes to the shape and borders of book panes to provide better definition when panes are displayed in tiles. - Added the version numbers of the Bible reference data in a Bible to its "About This Book" screen. - Users Guide is automatically re-installed on request if accidentally deleted. BUG FIXES - Changes in the way the iOS speech synthesizer handles empty strings passed to it would cause PocketBible to sometimes repeat a verse or paragraph when reading it. - Duplicate notes could be created while changing the name of a Journal note. (AFS) - Links to websites in notes could fail if the URL contained spaces. - Text in alert dialogs was difficult to read when using a light color scheme while the device is in dark mode or a dark color scheme while in light mode. - Book, chapter, or verse numbers could get truncated in the "spinner" go-to-verse style. - The "spinner" style go-to-verse dialog wasn't being displayed the first time it was invoked after having been selected in Settings. - The app could crash when a shortcut key was used to open the "today" menu on an iPad with a hardware keyboard. - Long-press on a toolbar button in landscape mode on an iPhone activated the wrong button. - Long press on go-to button to see list of recent verses would not display correctly if the active book was not a Bible. - Selecting a recent search caused the search to be performed but the results were immediately dismissed. - Login/Create Account screens now have dark background when dark color scheme is active.

  • Excellent, Powerful, Easy to Use

    I have been using PocketBible for many years on my iPhone, iPad, Mac, and PC. It has an excellent and easy to use search feature and I can easily add notes and highlights that sync across platforms.

    One big advantage that is has over some other software programs is that it works great even when I do not have internet access, which is common when I am on a plane or traveling overseas.

    My only disappointment is that I cannot load any French Bibles (though I can get what I need in Spanish).

  • Love it!

    I have had this product since my very first Palm Pilot. It has servived every devise since then and I still have everything I have ever purchased. The resource options or phemonenal and discounts are often offered. I love this app. It makes studying the bible so easy. I always keep three panes open so I can easily switch form the bible to study notes or to a devotional. But even swithching bible versions or study reference materials is simple. The Study function seaches everything and presents it in a comprehensive document. This little gem is hidden in the app store but now that you have found you must have it.
