However I was in the process of reading the Great Controversy and it won’t let me until you update to their latest software. Please do the update!!! ### 4/5 — Mags *2013-06-08* Thank you for having a lite version that older iPod touches can still use! It makes it possible for so many more people to b reached by these inspired writings. I wish the full version could b adapted to the iPod touch w 4.2.1 bc the updates make it obsolete for those people. So I tell people not to update anything on the older stuff or they may lose it altogether. I'd give this 5 stars if it had the full version available. Thnx again! ### 4/5 — Sudoku2 *2012-08-26* This is an exciting game it's relaxing also it keeps your brain active I recommend everyone should try it Melda. ### 5/5 — Dr *2011-05-31* It's such a great resource & the app is very easy to use & navigate. Well done. Thank you for making it accessible to all. ### 5/5 — 5 Star App *2011-03-06* Thank you for bringing EGW to the iPad. ### 5/5 — Wonderful App *2011-02-01* This is a first rate app. It is wonderful to have this material in the palm of your hand anytime anywhere. Very nicely done. Now I wish the Sabbath School Lesson app would integrate with this app and bible. ### 1/5 — trouble on iOS 3.1 *2010-12-17* I updated my old version, not realizing that the new full version does not work on iOS 3.1. . . So I thought that maybe this "lite" version would work, but no luck, even though on the "requirements" section of the description it says that it requires iOS 3.0 or later. Either this is a bug, or they need better warnings on this. ## Frequently asked questions about EGW Writings Lite ### What Ellen G. White books are included in EGW Writings Lite?
