Need Synchrony Between Phone and Web Bible Plans

My Bible plan progress in my phone doesnt synchronize with my web account. It would be nice, as I LOVE the web app with the way the commentaries are laid out.
Also request: on the web app, hope there’s a way to go back to previous verse whenever i hop on a certain referenced verse in the commentary (it’s on the phone app).
Yeah, basically, polish your web app and it will be the ultimate study bible of the century!

Version 3.4.9 on iPhone SE

This update addressed the previous problems I experienced while using the application.
• The routing of verses are accurate. • The “screen split” works well.
• The application’s display doesn’t “overlap” with the device’s status bar (which was previously experienced often).
• The plan picked up from where I left off, (although the percentile progress do not indicate, I recognise the passages:) or at least the devotional is still on the same theme. Any way, I praise God!)
• So far, the applications hasn’t crashed.

Overall, with the latest version the application is very responsive. Thank you very much. I was so happy the moment I discovered the latest update!

Developer Response ,

Sorry for the trouble. We sought to address these issues in the latest 3.4.9 update. Could you update to the latest version and let us know if that addressed your issues?
