This update is all about keeping the user's study safe. • Handwritten annotations are better protected when using WrittenWord on more than one iPad: switching apps no longer risks replacing notes that just synced from another device • If WrittenWord ever has trouble opening data, it now keeps everything in place and allows another attempt, instead of starting over • Backups are more reliable, and restoring a pinned backup works again • If a change can't be saved, usually because the iPad is full, WrittenWord now alerts the user • Search is faster and steadier when pressing Return on a very short search • Other fixes to keep the app from closing unexpectedly

New • A verse on your Home Screen: add the WrittenWord widget to show a verse you've pinned, or a new verse each day from one of your tags. To pin a verse, tap it in WrittenWord, then tap Widget. Tap the widget to open the passage • The widget comes in medium and large sizes and matches your color theme and font Improvements • The place marker now takes you back to the exact spot on the page you left, not just the top of the chapter • Text boxes: choose any font size from 6 to 48 points, with quick Small, Medium and Large picks • A verse's tags now have their own row in the verse bar, so they're easy to read at a glance • Returning to where you left off in a long chapter now lands on exactly the right spot

New • Text boxes: type or paste notes anywhere on a note page or right on the chapter page. Tap Add Text Box in the annotation toolbar, then move, resize and color each box. Text boxes are included when you share a note as a PDF • Write inside a text box with Apple Pencil and Scribble turns your handwriting into typed text. You can turn this off in Settings → Scribble in Text Boxes • Ruled lines for full-page and verse notes: tap Lines in the note toolbar and choose from five spacings. Lines work around the journaling template's headings • Come back within an hour and WrittenWord reopens the chapter you were reading, at the same spot on the page Improvements • Simple Mode now keeps its own handwriting for each chapter, so notes written in the regular view no longer show up out of place over its larger text. Nothing is deleted: turn Simple Mode off and your regular handwriting is right where you left it • Swiping to change chapters responds sooner, and the page no longer drifts up or down during a swipe • The chapter page now reaches the bottom of the screen • When zoomed in, the page no longer shows a blank strip below the annotation toolbar

New Simple Mode: • A stripped-back way to read and write in WrittenWord, made for anyone who just wants the essentials. Turn it on in Settings → Simple Mode • Large, clear text in three sizes that also follows your iPad's text size • A simple toolbar with Pen, Highlighter, Eraser and three colors. The highlighter matches the size of the text • Big Previous and Next buttons and a full-screen book picker make it easy to get around • Choose a page color — System, Light, Dark or Sepia — and add writing lines in the margin • Leaving Simple Mode takes a press-and-hold and a confirmation, so it can't be switched off by accident Improvements • More accurate original-language lookups: words joined by a dash can be looked up on their own, repeated words link to their Hebrew or Greek source every time they appear, and tapping a word highlights the right occurrence • Words the NASB translators supplied, shown in italics, no longer link to a Hebrew or Greek word, since they aren't in the original text • Footnote and cross-reference markers now stay on the same line as the word they belong to • In prose passages, markers and quotation marks no longer hang into the left margin • Your own cross-references between two verses in the same chapter now appear on both verses
