This update introduces an improved search tool and fixes several issues introduced with version 3.8.0.

Bug Fixes

  • Fixed issue with audio not playing when switching to a new chapter.
  • Fixed issue with the notes not refreshing when opening a scripture from the History, Bookmarks, or Notes windows.
  • Fixed random crashes when initially opening the app inside Split Screen mode.
  • Fixed issue with verse numbers not being included in a copied scripture when using the smallest Split Screen size.

I apologise for any inconvenience caused by the above issues.

New Bible Search

Several improvements to the Bible search tool.

  • Significantly faster search times.
  • You can now use “quotes” to search for an exact phrase. For example search for “in the beginning”.
  • A counter shows the number of matching verses (see screenshot).
  • All matching search words or phrases within the verse are highlighted.

    

Note: The first time you go to search a specific Bible, it will perform a one-off process to speed up the search. It can take up to 60 seconds for this process to complete. Please just be patient – you will only need to wait for this once.

Version 3.7.0 introduces the following changes:

  • Initial support for iOS 12.
  • A number of UI improvements.
  • You can now highlight a verse, even if the Note has no text content.
    • Tap the verse number to open the Note window, choose the color, slide across the highlight button on the toolbar, and save the Note.
  • On the iPad you can now choose to have the Clipboard Lookup button permanently showing on the toolbar. Normally this button only appears when in Split Screen mode, but some users prefer to disable the automatic clipboard lookups and instead trigger the lookups manually using this button.
    • Change your preference in Settings > Bible Settings > Detect Scriptures in Clipboard. This button is not enabled for an iPhone.
