When You Study is a Bible study log and journal that helps you actually sit down with God's Word โ€” and remember what you read. Log every study session with the passage, your notes, and up to three photos of your Bible page or notebook. Browse a calendar that shows which days you studied, review your full session history, and watch your statistics grow as a habit forms. NEW IN 1.2 โ€” BIBLE REFERENCE SCANNER Point your camera (or pick a photo) at a Bible-study book page. On-device Vision OCR finds every Scripture reference (Eph 5:22-33, John 3:16, 1 Cor 13, chapter ranges, abbreviations) and looks up the verse from the bundled KJV โ€” no network needed for verse text. Tap any highlighted reference for a translucent verse popup with: - Prev/next chevrons on the popup edges - Tri-state format button: paragraph / one-verse-per-line / context (ยฑ2 surrounding verses) - One-tap copy - Resizable height NEW IN 1.2 โ€” BOOKS Group scanned pages into a book with a cover photo. Cover OCR auto-fills title and author. The Look-up-online button queries Google Books (with OpenLibrary fallback) and shows you the official cover side-by-side with yours so you can decide which to keep.
