AppChasers did an initial review of the Equipd Bible app when it was first released. But they recently posted a 12 minute follow-up video tutorial that walks users through the following topics:

  • Downloading and installing new Bibles in EPUB format
  • Changing a Bible’s label
  • Setting the Preferred Bible
  • Enable the Pinyin above the Chinese Characters
  • Changing the Bibles display order
  • How to Bookmark a scripture by Category/Topic
  • Two different methods of looking up scriptures
  • How to install and play audio files

You can read the full review on AppChasers here:

And here is the new video tutorial…

Thanks to AppChasers for a great video tutorial! I am sure it will help new users a lot.

Version 1.1.2 Coming Soon

/1 Comment/in /by

Version 1.1.2 has been submitted to Apple for review. It generally takes them 7-10 days to review and approve an app update.

This is mainly a bug fix release addressing reported issues.

There are also a number of improvements under the hood that are not detailed on the forums.

Thanks to everyone who is actively using the forums to report issues, and especially to those who have been helping others via the forums. Seeing users support each other is very encouraging.

I am hoping that the number of issues reported will start dropping off soon, now that version 1.0 has been out for a few weeks and users have been actively using it across multiple languages and EPUB files.

Then I can start focussing on new features!

Version 1.1 of the Equipd Bible app has been submitted to Apple for review.

Full details on what version 1.1 contains can be found on the new Support Forums. The forums are working well and I thank all those who have taken the time to become familiar with the forums and are actively using them. I encourage all users to sign up to the Forums and to use them as their central point of reference for staying informed, obtaining help, submitting ideas and reporting issues.

The bugs fixed as part of version 1.1 can be found listed here.

The new features included in version 1.1 can be found on the forums detailed here.

Highlights include:

  • Fixes for issues reported by users across different EPUB files – typically with some Bible books not loading. All reported issues have been resolved.
  • The app is fully translated for Korean users.
  • Improved detection of errors in the Bookmarks and when installing invalid EPUB files.
  • Users can now change the Bible Navigation to Sidney Lau, similar to how the navigation option works in Chinese Pinyin.
  • The ability to rename Bookmark Categories has been added.
  • Support for the Book “Outline” view for Bibles that support this, such as the EPUB files for the newer NWT revisions found on JW.org.
  • For those using a Markdown text editor, there is a new option to generate a scripture link in Markdown format.

And many other fixes and enhancements are found mentioned across the forums.

I hope this update helps users get the most out of this new app.
