Back on track with this app
momcron
I’ve been looking for something like this for awhile and so glad I bought this app. I have back problems and sit in a recliner every morning as it is the only comfortable place I can sit. Trying to have a bible and a journal in my lap was cumbersome, but with this app, it’s all in one place. (on my laptop!) Often I leave my Bible in the car on Sunday, and Monday morning when it’s cold outside I don’t want to go get it! That is no longer a problem with this app. It has the versions that I like and even a place to write out prayer, or it can be used as a reminder of who & what you want to pray for, as well as a journal where I can take notes about what I’m reading. I like that I can highlight passages and come back to them for further study. I am enjoying using this app, I find it very easy to navigate, and so far have had no issues with it.* 8th day update…after one week of using this app, it has crashed 3 times. Also I have to go back to my “purchased apps” to open it becuase even though I chose to have to icon show up in my menu bar and on my desk top, it does not. This may be something I’m doing wrong, but I find this frustrating.

Chapters stay
Coseycole
The old version before one of the updates stayed on the book chapter when changing bible versions. Now it goes back to chapter 1 every time. Please change so it remains on the chapter that is being read when changing versions. Example: If I'm reading Ps 119:40 in The Message and want to read it in the NIV, the app will go back to Ps 1 when I click on the NIV version. I love this app other than that, I would give it a 5.Also the blue letter bible doesn't work. It's stuck on a verse and won't go to any other. I closed the app, and my computer and still stuck.

Search Journal won't find words
MNIDBA
I use the journal feature on a daily basis. There are many things I like about the app. However, the "Search Journal" feature won't find occurances of all words. Example: I knew that in a previous journal, I had used the word 'fulfill'. When I searched for that word, the search tool told me that there were no journals using that word when I had been looking at that word in one of my journals prior to typing it into the "Search Journal" window.Also, in something as important as delete Journals, there needs to be an UNDO button. I accidentally created a journal heading. While trying to delete it, I accidentally deleted 6 months of journals. If I hadn't been printing them out, I would have lost them entirely. They need to go to a heading called TRASH where they can be retrieved for 30 days.
Great Design ran into major bug.
yodaybs
I would like to preface this by saying I love the app design and many books available. There is even a great section where you can put notes and devotionals. However, one day I accidentally removed the original KJV version from the list of books and this crashed the app. Every time I open it up there is no longer any books I can choose from and it just sits on a blank KJV. I can no longer use the app because of this. Please fix. I really enjoyed while it worked.
