Ratings and reviews

Great app. But the only problem I see, is that the downloaded books are saved in the cache folder within the app, so if I use the cleaning app of my phone, it deletes important files Verbum needs in order to work, so it renders it useless until you reinstall it. (If you add an option where to save your downloaded books) 5 stars if you fix this!

Updated 1 star for crash fix. Thank you. Notes still buggy. Change Highlight Style throws an "Error" which then makes it impossible to use Change Highlight or Additional Styles as menu won't even pop up. You can (usually) change to a style already in most recent line up. Sometimes resolves on its own; usually not. Sometimes you can force a fix by changing to a most recent style, deleting that style again and hoping finally the Additional Styles will pop up.

Love the app! However I've been having difficulties with Verbum app on my Android phone! Especially when I open a reference and takes up the whole page it won't allow me to go back not even on my back button on my phone! I have to set it up on landscape mode.. The app keeps crashing too!.. However I still do love the app!
