Please add search bar

As an experienced user of the Coptic Reader app since 2015 on various devices and software, I highly recommend adding a search bar at the top of each biblical chapter and hymns. This would allow Sunday school teachers, clergy, and daily readers to easily find any verse that comes to mind, especially during urgent situations, sensitive times at liturgy, and vespers. I was also thinking of offering a selection button that would give beginner Coptic learners the chance to translate Coptic texts into different languages. May God bless the dedicated team that took the time to create this amazing app for all Coptic people around the world! Thank you.

New update looks terrible

The icons and menu texts became too large. Can’t control the size. Reducing the font size only reduces the font of the text itself, not the menu text. Please revert that last update, it looks terrible
