Version 3.1.0: better reading on tablets, foldables, and ChromeOS

Version 3.1.0 makes reading, notes, and navigation more comfortable on tablets, foldable phones, ChromeOS, and other large screens.

Platforms: android

Version 3.1.0 is most noticeable when the screen gets bigger. On a tablet, you can keep the Bible text visible while working with a note. On a foldable phone, the app handles changing width more cleanly. On ChromeOS, reading feels better in a wide window.

More useful on large screens

Notes beside the Bible text

On wide screens, the marker editor can open beside the passage. The Bible text stays in view while you write. For longer notes, that feels much better than covering the screen and switching back and forth.

Less crowding in markers

Marker filters now open in a way that fits the device. On a phone, they stay compact. On tablets and ChromeOS, there is more room to review the list and adjust filters.

More room for longer notes

The note field can use more of the available height. Longer notes are easier to read, edit, and continue.

We reworked how the app moves between screens. It now remembers more reliably where you came from and where you should return: the book list, saved markers, reading progress, or a daily verse widget.

Opening a passage from widgets and markers is more dependable. If audio should start after an external action, it starts once instead of repeating after the screen is recreated.

The reading header handles narrow screens better

Long book, chapter, and translation names no longer push important buttons out of place. On narrow screens, the title is shortened cleanly, and extra actions move into a small menu.

Content is easier to reach

Search, the book list, What’s New, and reading stats now leave more comfortable space near the bottom of the screen. Last rows and buttons are easier to tap.

Also in this update

  • Added double-tap back confirmation before exiting the app.
  • Daily verse widgets now open the right verse and share a link to that exact place.
  • Markers and reading progress can take you to the intended passage faster.
  • Internal app libraries were updated.
