Wonderful port to iOS
This is a gem in the App Store. Glad that I can finally read all my PC version material on my iPad. It is really nicely done and very speedy with pretty decent features. Why the three star review? Not because of the price. Imagine paying for an app with tons a freebies! No, the loss of two stars are sadly several features missing, including the very widely used and popular ability to highlight several verses at a time. With this, you are only allowed one verse at a time (same on the PC version as well), so if you have several verses to highlight, it becomes very tedious. Also, when you highlight, the page moves and the verses jump and this can really be annoying but not too much of an issue as to dislike the app. Another issue is the gestures feature rarely works. You still have to use the onscreen navigation buttons to advance to the next chapter and they can interfere with highlighting and selecting verses. Not a deal breaker but I do hope Rick fixes the gestures soon. He claims that some devices are "too sensitive" and you need to swipe in the perfect place for it to work, but I still hold to the app needing updated and fixed. All in all this app shines and though it is lacking some key features (creating your own highlighters and styles, highlighting more than one verse at a time, gestures needing fixed, footnotes added to Bibles, being able to hide the top and bottom navigation bars upon tapping the screen, maybe syncing your highlights, notes, etc. to a server or cloud service or Evernote or something similar, onscreen note icon because you never know where your notes are unless you tap the notes button, split screen view, and perhaps a few more features Im sure Ill think of that are pretty basic for a Bible study app). This is a great app,and I love it but its not super great. It is wonderful but needs some improvement.
