Minor bug fixes and improvements

User reviews

Minimal; can’t feedback

On iPhone 8 at least, only offers ESV; and feedback button doesn’t work.

Wow 🤩

It’s my go to app to see how the English words chosen to translate a Greek word leaves out either double meanings, which I think Jesus cleverly used frequently, or just a translated word as we use it, does not properly convey the meaning.

It also in showing the Greek and often Hebrew forms of a word, lets you see how all the conjugation words that get added so that it reads, sometimes “takes away”.

If your desire is to know Jesus better… this tool will quickly become your friend.

Pretty good Scripture tool so far, but needs some work

I love the simplicity of this app in that I can just open it and start studying specific words right away, but The Scripture takes a little bit to load sometimes and stops scrolling. Also, the app always opens to Matthew 1 instead of where you left off in your study. I am requesting that the Legacy Standard Bible can also be added as a translation, as well as NASB95.

Proof of Concept?

This feels more like a tech demo than an app, especially by the high standards already set by STEP in the browser version. No option to download translations, what even is this?
