Verse links in the daily devotional email now open straight to the verse. Dark mode is darker, with brighter text, for easier reading at night.

• Word journal: keep the words God gives you in Altar, with notes and themes. • Clearer narration that follows along verse by verse and plays straight on into the next chapter. • Listen now starts reliably on iPhone. • The verse of the day prints the King James text. • The welcome tour stays closed once you dismiss it.

This update fixes three things that failed quietly. • Tapping a shared verse link — or the same reminder — more than once now opens it every time. Previously only the first tap in a session did anything, so a link you had already followed appeared to do nothing. • The notification switches no longer show as on for a device that never finished registering, so a reminder can't silently fail to arrive while the app claims it is set. • Issue reports now carry the app's real version, which makes it much easier for us to act on what you send us.

Support Scriptural with an optional tip: pick a quick tip or choose your own amount from the More menu. Tips unlock nothing. Chapters now open in Expanded View, with each verse in its own block. Searching for a verse no longer says "Book Not Found" after opening it. "Failed to load chapter" no longer appears for a chapter you have already moved on from, and a chapter that fails to load now retries once before saying anything. The chapter arrows, the notes button and the audio player now fade together while you read, and come back at a touch. Chapter notes are also reachable from the verse menu, and turning a chapter gives a light tap. Your profile now loads highlights, notes and saved verses page by page, so long lists stay fast. Fixes the Compare Versions picker not opening, and makes it clear that the verse actions scroll sideways.

Read offline. Save a whole translation to your device and keep reading with no connection — a full King James downloads in a few seconds. Highlights stay put. Marking a verse in one translation and then switching to another used to make the highlight disappear. It stays with you now. Verse cards in eight new looks, each with its own typeface, and a card in every daily verse email you can save and share. Also: a welcome tour that finishes properly on phones, a clearer way back into reading if you skip signing in, and a sign-in email that says what it actually contains.
