The daily reading now shows every verse it reads aloud. Where the Septuagint and the Masoretic tradition number a passage differently, the daily reading could quietly leave verses off the screen while the narration read them. Jeremiah 25 showed thirteen verses and read nineteen. Across the whole Bible this affected 1,478 verses in 278 chapters. A passage the app cannot place is now always shown, because a gap in our data should never take scripture off your screen. Chapter numbers now convert between translations. Reading Psalm 113 in the Septuagint and switching to the King James Version used to leave you on Psalm 113, which is a different psalm. Searching for a reference, comparing translations, the verse of the day and the daily reading all had the same fault. Every surface now converts the number and shows you both, so a chapter header reads "Psalm 115 (KJV: 116)" and you always know where you are. This affects 27 books. Jeremiah is reordered wholesale in the Septuagint: its chapter 27 is chapter 50 in the King James Version. The King James Version now shows you what is missing from it. Reading Daniel 3, between verses 23 and 24, the app tells you that 67 verses were removed from the Masoretic text, names the Septuagint as the witness that preserves them, and opens them with a tap. That passage is the Prayer of Azariah and the Song of the Three Young Men. Until now only a Septuagint reader was told anything, which is backwards: it is the reader of the shorter text who cannot see what is absent. The daily reading played the wrong psalm on ten days a year, and none at all on two. Fixed, and the audio for every affected day has been re-recorded. "Removed from the Masoretic text" markers no longer appear where nothing was removed. They are now drawn only from verified entries. Home shows a row of recent teachings instead of a single slot, because several go out on a busy day. No autoplay, no endless scroll. Backup's "Replace" option no longer promises something it does not do. It said it wipes everything first. It clears only the kinds of data your backup actually contains, and now says so.

THE SHIELD OF FAITH An optional morning gate for your iPhone, built on Apple's Screen Time. Choose the apps that pull hardest and the morning hours to guard. During those hours the apps wait behind a short devotion in Sovereign Logos. Finish your reading and they open for the day. You pick which reading lifts the Shield: any reading goal, the Bible in a Year devotional, or one of your plans. It is off by default and free, and your app choices and hours stay on your device. YOUR OWN READING PLANS, ON DAILY Build a plan: the whole Bible, the Old or New Testament, a range of chapters, or the books you pick. Set the pace by chapters per day or a finish date, choose your reading days, and run more than one track side by side. Each plan gets its own tab on Daily next to Bible in a Year, with today's chapters, your progress, and anything to catch up on. Check a chapter off in Daily or the Library and both stay in sync. "Listen to today's reading" plays the day's chapters back to back. PLANS THAT KEEP GOING Choose what happens when a plan finishes: stop, continue with the rest of the testament, or continue with the rest of the Bible, at the same pace. Bible in a Year can now start on any day. CHRISTIAN CLASSICS A new shelf of public domain Christian classics, read chapter by chapter with a progress bar. It opens with The Imitation of Christ by Thomas à Kempis. THE CATECHISM, EXPLAINED Luther's Small Catechism is in the Library, and Joseph Stump's full 1907 question-and-answer explanation of it is now its own book in Christian Classics. A REDESIGNED LIBRARY The Library is now two sections of cards. My stuff holds Recent, Bookmarks, Highlights, Notes, and Cards. Explore holds Plans, Watch, Prayers, Catechism, Classics, Images, and the Shield. BACKUPS YOU CONTROL Export your progress, streaks, badges, bookmarks, highlights, notes, cards, prayers, and plans to one file. Save it to Files, a cloud drive, or email, and restore it on another device. No account needed. You can also turn on automatic backups to a folder you choose. PRAYERS AND REMINDERS More prayers, psalms, canticles, and creeds, including the mealtime blessings. Add as many prayer reminders as you like, each at its own time with the prayer you pick. VOICEOVER Daily and the Reader no longer stall under VoiceOver. Each verse is read as one item, and tapping a word to define it works as before. FIXES • Your daily streak no longer resets, and past reading days are rebuilt from your reading history. • Finishing today's reading in any of your plans counts toward your daily streak, even when you read it in the Reader. • Fixed a crash when starting audio playback on iOS 26.

This update deepens the prayer and study library and repairs the daily streak. New • Catechism. Read Luther's Small Catechism in the app: the Ten Commandments, the Apostles' Creed, the Lord's Prayer, Holy Baptism, Confession, and the Lord's Supper, each with its question-and-answer explanation. • More prayers and creeds. The library now spans prayers, psalms, canticles, and the historic creeds, with the Apostles', Nicene, and Athanasian creeds shown in their Catholic, Lutheran, and Eastern Orthodox forms. • Reach them faster. Open Prayers and the Catechism straight from your Library. Fixed • Your daily streak no longer resets after an update, and days you already completed are credited for you. • Fixed a crash some readers hit when starting the audio Bible. • Offline audio now keeps a rolling two-week window instead of clearing everything.

Turn any verse into something worth sharing. This update brings the image library into the everyday share flow, so a verse can go out over sacred artwork instead of a plain card, from wherever you are reading. SHAREABLE VERSE ART, EVERYWHERE In the Reader or the Daily plan, choose Share as image and pick a background: a clean card, or a piece of biblical artwork from the library. Every card carries the reference and translation, so what you share is always attributed. SHARE A WHOLE PASSAGE Select several verses at once and share them as a single image, with each verse numbered the way a printed Bible marks them. Choosing multiple verses is now the first option when you long-press a verse, on both the Reader and the Daily plan. A STREAK YOU CAN TRUST Your daily-reading streak now counts a day the moment you finish that day's reading. Read ahead and the day is banked to its own date, so the flame reflects what you have actually read. ALSO IN THIS RELEASE A clearer, more consistent way to select and share multiple verses across the Reader and the Daily plan. Reliability improvements to image sharing and saving. Small fixes and polish throughout. Sovereign Logos stays what it has always been: no ads, no subscriptions, no account, and nothing sold or shared. Just scripture, the way it was read for fifteen centuries.
