What’s New

Version 4.17.0

NEW FEATURES AND ENHANCEMENTS
• Changed "Change Login ID or Password" to "Account Login" on the menu to better reflect what this function does.
• We are now required to give you the option to delete your Laridian account anywhere that we give you the ability to create an account. Added a "Delete Account" feature to the Account Login dialog. Provided a full description of the data being deleted, the implications of deletion (since it affects PocketBible running on non-iOS platforms and permanently removes access to products you have paid for), and alternatives to account deletions in different situations — all to help reduce accidental permanent deletion of accounts.

FIXES
• Account Login screen how has a dark background in all contexts when a dark color scheme is chosen.
• Fixed a layout problem on the Cloud Library screen for non-AFS subscribers.
• Addressed an issue that caused the status line at the bottom of the library lists to be unreadable in some color schemes.
• Addressed an issue that could cause an error or crash when deleting a note.

A fabulous tool

I have been using this software since I bought my HP Jornada 525 back in 1999. It has grown with me over the years, I have used it on so many devices, including these days an iMac. My library of books has grown and grown over the years and it has been fabulous that I can keep everything from machine to machine - even from the HP 525 pda to a recent iMac! It is easily useable on on these platforms and and can be carried in your pocket. Sometimes it is a little quirky, perhaps a legacy of so many platforms. But it has been thoroughly reliable. Highly recommended.

Was great, now only good

Prior to the recent major update, this bible program was brilliant - well featured and reliable with the great ability to swap between bibles and follow along with commentaries. Since the update the screen is now more cluttered with menu bars etc that could previously be hidden. There is a full screen mode that is only available if you pay extra, and it means the clean menu bar that was at the top also gets hidden so navigation is less easy. However the main issue is that the text now loads on the screen slowly - almost line by line - whereas before it was pretty much instant. And worst of all, I regularly open the app to be confronted with a blank screen and no text at all, so the app has to be reopened to persuade it to load. This was not previously a problem. I would dearly love to revert to the previous version of the app which was much better. A classic example of ‘fixing’ what wasn’t broken.

Top class Bible Study tool

I am a long time user of PocketBible and it has become my go to application for Bible Study. I use on Windows and MAC. It has never let me down.
It boots up quickly and is very stable.
The selection of study materials is excellent. Even today I needed a book for a course of study I am involved in. I looked in the Pocket Bible store and there it was at a fraction of the cost of what it would be in other formats. I pray the Lord will bless you all at Laridan as you labour in the vineyard.
Thank you
