Fantastic App!
The new overhaul is great! Compared to a few years ago, it's a massive improvement. I have a few suggestions:
Normally, when reading on other Bible apps, the section headings (like “Miracle at Cana” in John 2, for example) will be hidden once you scroll down. In this app, however, the headings stay fixed to the top of the page until you reach the next section, then they’re replaced. The fixed headings are annoying and make the page busier. It’s also annoying having the headings in a glass bubble. They take up too much space on the page. I suggest putting the headings within the text, as other Bible apps do.
Moreover, the text on the page is uncharacteristic. The verse numbers are normal size rather than superscripts, same with letter asterisks. Can these be made into superscripts?
Third, the only way to open the settings button is to scroll all the way to the top of the page. You cannot adjust Bible settings while halfway down the page. Can this be adjusted?
Fourthly, the red letter text for Christ is incorrect. Most sections only show the first verse that he speaks in red and the rest of his speech in black.
Lastly, the verse selection options are too small at the bottom of the page. This makes it difficult to use the highlight feature.
Overall, the app has improved greatly, but it could still use a few adjustments to make it easier to use.

Amazing
Catena was already an amazing resource but the new update is 10/10
Yearly plan
I like the new update a lot but I had a plan for reading the whole year and after the update I cannot find the plan or the place where to start a new one like the old version.
Crank it up to 11!
Wow. Just opened the app and was surprised by the update, did a little exploring, and the amount of new features and quality of life updates is insane! Totally awesome. Love the filters that allow to tailor what you see. Such a huge upgrade to everything!
Worst update ever
It’s laggy, and filled with Oriental “Orthodox” slop. Change it back.
