Very practical on my iPad so THANK YOU to the developers ### 3/5 — Not Saving Notes *2022-01-09, version 5.0.8* Great App with all the Translations. However, I'm struggling to save notes on my iPhone, and you can't make multiple selections of verses for one note. It will really up the functionality of the app. ### 3/5 — Navigational Problems - screen ergonomics *2021-10-05, version 5.0.8* Many thanks for the initiative and going live. It Is a worthwhile effort and I am giving it an honest chance. I am using a Apple iPhone and find the navigation ergonomics incapacitated at least. The action buttons (menu, Bible Book, Version) are so high up on the screen that they are almost under the clock or wifi indicator on the phone’s screen or under the speaker strip. Virtually impossible to get them to respond. Hope the suggestion helps ### 2/5 — Not working *2021-09-21* As of yesterday my reading plan is not working as it should be ### 5/5 — Great to use. *2020-07-28, version 4.0.6* Accessing Bible easily in different languages ### 1/5 — Don’t update *2020-07-04, version 4.0.5* I used to use this app daily t since the update I can not open the text anymore.
