1.2.1 — Reading plans, further ahead. A church plan you follow now shows the days still to come, taken from the church’s published yearly plan, and Reading Plans has its own button beside Listen. Read Aloud on a study or meditation keeps you on the page and marks the paragraph being read.

1.2.0 — Reading plans. Read the Bible in a year (in order, or as it happened), a chapter a day through any book, or follow your church’s plan: Disciples Church is built in, and you can add any site or feed that names the day’s passage. Spurgeon’s Morning and Evening is included (English). Every passage appears in your own translation, with progress, catch-up, a streak, daily reminders and read-aloud.

1.1.7 — Reliability improvements behind the scenes.

1.1.6 — Optimized for iPhone Duo. Unfolded, reading, the study panel, notes and maps use the full width of the inner display; folded, everything fits the cover display. Nothing else changes.

1.1.5 — More PDF Bibles import. Import a File… now reads PDF layouts it used to turn away: chapters printed as “1:1”, verse numbers set within the line, notes gathered at the end of each book (kept as footnotes on their verses), psalms headed “PSALM 2”, and narrow single-column pages. A PDF with no copyright page that names a known translation in its title or file name now carries that publisher’s notice.

1.1.4 — Reading fills the screen. An iPhone held sideways, and iPad and Mac, show the chapter in two columns that run from the top bar to the bottom one, at any text size, with a one-line header on iPhone. In columns, the bottom bar's arrows turn the page. Highlights now have rounded corners. Listen: minimize the player and the reading goes on — the headphones button in the toolbar becomes the player, showing whether it's reading or paused; tap it to bring the player back. On an iPhone set to Silent, Listen starts muted: the verse marker moves along without a sound and your music keeps playing. Tap to unmute. Share a verse: the verse image opens on 21 ready-made Styles — Parchment, Watercolor, Golden Hour, Night and more — each with its own background, text color and shadow. Customize has Clean and Textured backgrounds, text color and shadow, and every card is checked so the words stay readable. Create Verse Image in Shortcuts can use any style. Also: the selection and Now Playing bars float over the text instead of taking room from the page; Apple Watch names your iPhone's translation the way your iPhone does; and import messages no longer call every file an ePub.

1.1.3 — On iPhone, the passage title (tap it to go anywhere — Go To) now always fits in the toolbar. The translation button is now an icon, with the translation you're reading checked in its menu, and a book name too long for the space shortens to its abbreviation, like "1 Thess 5". On iPad and Mac, the translation's name stays on its button. The User Guide's pictures show the new toolbar.

1.1.2 — A new illustrated User Guide, in your language, covers everything Scripture Alone does. The app draws it itself, so it fits your screen and follows your text size — no pinching and zooming around a PDF. It downloads the first time you open it (Aa › User Guide), so the app stays small, and on first launch a welcome card offers it, with a Skip button. Also: small translation fixes, including the auto-scroll speed names in Japanese, Korean and French.

1.1.1 — The New American Standard Bible — NASB 2020 is now built in, and it's what Scripture Alone opens to, on your iPhone, iPad, Mac and Apple Watch and in your widgets. The NASB 1995 is a download away, with the ASV, BSB and KJV. The app itself is smaller: every Bible but the NASB 2020 downloads the first time you choose it.

1.1.0 — The first release of Scripture Alone.
