Firstlight Bible

Advice, alongside study. The Coach now has two ways in. Study answers a passage or a question about scripture. Advice is for something going on in your life — a hard week, a decision — answered within your tradition, in plain English, with references you can look up in your own Bible. It asks before it advises, it hands down no verdicts, and your notes are not sent with it. Pray through your list. A full-screen view for praying rather than tending the list: one person a screen, large enough to read at a glance, thanks before requests, and the screen stays lit. Siri. Add a prayer request, look up or open a passage, ask the coach, or start recording without opening the app. PRAYER • Requests found in a recording are checked against your whole list before they are added, so the same need does not arrive twice — including when it is worded differently, like "sickness" and "cancer" • Captured requests name who they are for, on screen and in exports • The delete confirmation opens on the row you meant, not the header RECORDINGS • Recordings are carried by your iCloud account, so deleting and reinstalling no longer loses them • Tapping a timestamp in a note starts playback about eight times faster — a recording is re-encoded once the transcript, summary and voices are done with it, which in one case took 439MB down to 18MB • Start and stop from the Lock Screen • Stop and Minimise stay reachable while you are typing, instead of being scrolled off the top, and stopping asks first • Finishing in the background is steadier: the stall that produced a second Live Activity is fixed, and the app no longer promises a long transcription will finish while it is away, because iOS does not always allow that NOTES AND DEVOTIONS • "Ask about this" opens over where you asked it instead of navigating away, and the verse comes with it — from a devotion it used to do neither • Devotion plans lead with the day you are on; finished days sit underneath • An Uncategorized shelf, and Notes opens on it • Typing into a bulleted or numbered list no longer comes out in the marker's colour • Typing a passage reference accepts both shapes, a range or a single verse • Exported summaries no longer come out missing their body
