With our app, you can easily keep track of all the books you've read. When adding a book, simply click the barcode button on the top right corner of the screen and scan the book's barcode to automatically fill in most of the fields, including the book cover. Have you ever been asked for book recommendations? Our app makes it simple to find and share books with others. Just go to the book details and tap the share button to share with your friends or relatives via text, email, Facebook, Twitter, or any other app on your iPhone or iPad. If you're interested in a book series but can't remember which ones you've read, our app can help. Just open the app and go to the menu option "Book List by Author/Genre," select the Author tab, scroll down to find your desired author, and tap to see a list of their books. You can quickly check if you've read a book in the series or not. You can also click on the series tab on the bottom and select the series from the list and see which books you have read. As an avid reader who averages 50-60 books a year, it's hard to remember them all. That's where our app comes in handy for me! The app allows you to sort your books by Book name, Author, Genre, Series, and Date read, as well as group books by Author or Genre, Year, Rating, and Series. You can also double-tap the book image or tap the zoom button to view the book cover in full-screen mode and enlarge or shrink the image using one or two fingers. We've included a few screen shots of the Books Read iPhone and iPad App to give you an idea of what to expect. Please don't hesitate to contact us via email if you have any comments, suggestions, bug reports, or requests for the app. We're always happy to hear from our users!

VersePack is a simple, focused flashcard app for memorizing Bible verses — or any short passage you want to lock into memory. Type or paste in your own verses, in any translation, and review them one at a time in a clean, notecard-style reader built for both iPhone and iPad. There's no bundled Bible text and no account required — just your own words, private and synced across your devices with iCloud. FEATURES • Your Own Words — Add verses from any translation, or your own paraphrase. VersePack doesn't come with Bible text built in; you build the deck. • Rich Text Support — Paste from Notes and keep bold and italic formatting intact. • Bulk Import — Paste a whole list of verses at once, separated by blank lines, with a preview before saving. • Today's Memory — A verse from your deck highlighted each day to keep review consistent. • Notecard-Style Reader — Swipe through your cards on a clean, distraction-free card, with adjustable text size. • Arrange & Sort — Drag to put your cards in a custom order, or sort by Bible order or most recently added. • Select & Organize — Bulk-select cards to move several to Recently Deleted at once, with an easy way to restore them. • Search — Jump straight to a verse by typing its reference, with suggestions as you type. • Built for iPhone & iPad — A real iPad layout with its own sidebar and detail view, not a stretched iPhone screen. • Private iCloud Sync — Your cards sync automatically across your own devices via your private iCloud account. No sign-up, no server of ours in the middle. VersePack is built to be simple and stay out of your way — no ads, no tracking, no clutter. Just a clean place to keep the verses you're working to hide in your heart.
