Vertically Verse is a scripture reader built the traditional way — fully vertical, with characters stacking top to bottom and columns reading right to left, exactly as CJK text was meant to be set. Read the Bible in Korean, Japanese, or Chinese, each in a classic translation, with a single tap to switch languages. Every control, gesture, and transition is designed around the vertical, right-to-left axis — not a horizontal app with rotated text, but a reading experience rethought from the ground up. • Fully vertical, right-to-left typesetting with proper CJK glyph orientation • Three translations: Korean 한글 킹제임스, Japanese 口語訳, Chinese 和合本 • Serif (명조) or sans (고딕) typefaces • Adjustable font size and line spacing • Dark, sepia, and light reading themes • Highlight verses and navigate the full 66-book canon • Two reading layouts: continuous flow and structured page Designed for anyone who wants to read scripture the way vertical CJK text is meant to be read.
