Simple and effective. Worth a buy for a good Bible app.
I like a lot of things about this app. As long as it doesnt fall into abandonware, it is worth the purchase. However, Ive run into a few quirks that are worth reporting in review.
- When switching primary translations the first time after opening the app, it doesnt keep your place. After switching once, it seems to keep your place on subsequent changes.
- The app insists on switching my keyboard layout back to US Qwerty. Switch to app, switch input language away from qwerty, switch to another app and back, boom qwerty. My system setting for automatically switching based on an application / document is disabled.
- Copying text from the bible doesnt work with keyboard shortcuts, though it occurs to me now that this could just be because the keyboard layout is nuked when the app is activated.
And a couple feature requests:
- Syncd verse-by-verse scrolling between parallel versions. Currently, synced scrolling doesnt take into account different scrolling requirements for a given version or window size. If the syncronized srolling could be a little smarter about the verses displayed, it would be a much more helpful feature.
- Some sort of dark mode. Reading black letters on white text isnt always easy on the eyes.
- Ability to disable paragraph mode for verse display. Many translations do not prefer to put every verse on a new line.
Thanks and keep up the good work!
