## Version history (last 5 releases)

### 1.5.0 — 2026-09-24

Scripture now reads like a book. Paragraphs flow, psalms and poetry are set in lines, and psalm titles are back. Prefer one verse per line? It’s a tap away.

• The new Aa button changes text size, line spacing, typeface and layout while you read, and the chapter changes as you choose.
• Tap the chapter title to jump to any book and chapter.
• The Bible reopens where you left off.
• A clearer verse toolbar: highlights stay visible while a verse is selected, and Bookmark shows when a passage is already saved.
• Line spacing now works on iPhone, and large text no longer crowds the lines.
• A comfortable line length on iPad.
• VoiceOver announces saved items, search results and errors. Stronger contrast in dark mode, and layouts that hold up at the largest text sizes.
• Closing Search returns you to your chapter, and switching translation updates the open chapter.

### 1.4.0 — 2026-09-22

THE FATHERS AND DOCTORS OF THE CHURCH

Twenty-six authors. 271 works. Fifteen million words. All of it offline, and all of it free.

Saint Augustine's Confessions, City of God, and his expositions on all 150 Psalms. Saint Thomas Aquinas's Summa Theologica. Saint John Chrysostom, Saint Jerome, Saint Ambrose, Saint Athanasius, Saint Basil, Saint Gregory the Great, Origen, Tertullian, Saint Irenaeus, Saint Cyprian, the Apostolic Fathers, and more.

THE FATHERS ON THIS CHAPTER

Open a chapter of Scripture and the Fathers who preached on it are waiting underneath — 975 readings across 20 books, including every one of the 150 Psalms and every chapter of Matthew and John.

THE SEVEN SORROWS OF OUR LADY

A guided Servite rosary: seven sorrows, each with its scripture, its meditation, and its beads counted for you.

NEW ARTWORK

Thirty-two paintings from the museums of the world, all in the public domain, replacing the placeholder art throughout.

Every translation in the library is public domain — the Ante-Nicene and Nicene and Post-Nicene Fathers, and the Dominican Summa.
