## What is Wintonbury Sermon Engagement?

This app contains all of Wintonbury's Sermons since April of 2023. Use this app throughout the week to more deeply engage with the written word, the proclaimed word and the living Word. 

The app is Bluetooth enabled so you can pause and restart and select the next or previous engagement remotely.

There is optional background music playing softly in the background.

Also, the app can be configured to play an entire engagement (Play All mode).

Each week, when a new sermon is released, it will appear in the Sermons screen.


## Version history (last 5 releases)

### 0.0.41 — 2025-11-19

New Features:

Added the ability to move to the Next and Previous engagement with a Swipe left or right.

Changed the library used for the background music  from expo-av to expo-audio.

Bug Fixed:

Previously, if you automatically went to a new sermon or chapter and then hit back, it went to the original listing. Then, when you went to the engagement, it displayed the wrong engagement. Now, Back - either the Back Button or the Navigation Back takes you to the home screen.

### 0.0.40 — 2025-07-09

Features added:
  Status slider while playing the audio for sermons for status and control
  Play all Sermons for automatically cycling through Sermons from oldest to newest
  Option to not automatically start the audio when an Engagement is selected
  Option to set the volume globally for all background music
  Color scheme united

### 0.0.38 — 2024-08-01

Updated some libraries for compliance.
Changed the margins on the Engagement Screens

### 0.0.37 — 2024-01-23

Fixed the funky icon on some phones and may have fixed a tenacious bug that caused the text and audio to get out of sync.

### 0.0.36 — 2024-01-04

We added the ability to format the Engagements with HTML. There will not be any change for the user until HTML tags are used in the Cloud. July 2 Introduction has bold and italic as an example.

We deleted Login and Change Password from the Manual
We added Opt In/Out for Data Analytics to the Manual
We added Configuration of the Cloud settings to the Manual

We changed the way the Play/Pause Icon works. It is not dynamic and represents the status as well as the ability to change the status. When playing it shows only the Pause icon. When paused shows only the Play icon.
