Ratings and reviews

Very clunky. Bookmarked pages can be difficult to find. Bible texts can be read from within the app if you've downloaded a Bible, but once you go to the Bible (eg to read the context), there is no way back to the EGW page you were reading. The app supports highlighting, but although a menu item pops up occasionally to remove a highlight, it doesn't actually work, so highlights are essentially permanent.

I loved this app till it quite working. Every time I try to use the "Search" function, it brings up a blank white screen and I can't search for anything! Can someone please look into this and fix it? Edit: I figured out that if I hit the space bar and start typing it will work and I can see the screen again. Not sure why that blank screen comes up and covers everything but I'm glad I figured out how to use the search function again.

I prefer this edition over the later one because it is easier to get around in. The newer version isn't set up the same as this one. In the newer version you can't stop automatic updates; which means those in charge of the writings can not only update the app itself, but arbitrarily make "little" revisions to the text itself. With this version you have a choice. Also this version doesn't have the Great "Hoax" [Hope] in it; which is a neutered version of "The Great Controversy".
