I absolutely love this app, especially the direct access to cross references. However I wish there was option to click and open just 1 translation full screen when needed. Sort of like the Sermon prep, but with all the cross references and links. It would also be nice when you open a cross reference, you could read the surrounding verses without the being greyed out. Otherwise, great job!

Here is how to open just 1 translation full screen: 1. Tap the three dots in the upper right corner. 2. Tap "Select versions". 3. Use the toggle buttons on the right to switch off the translations you want to hide, to reduce their number to one. Then you can make use of the “Choose a version set” option to quickly switch between your version sets.

Granted, it doesn't have all the bells & whistles that some of the other Bible apps come stacked with; however, you can at least take annotations. That being said, this is the only Bible app I've used for years now which I've actually found useful during in- depth studies. Comparing languages, editions, side by side-- alll nice & neat, with a built in BDB to top it off. It's especially fun on a tablet.

Great app for viewing multiple versions side by side with some simple study tools. I like I can select what versions and what order. Please support them if you use it so they can maintain it. Their website is also great. Check it out. One wish there is to be able to select a few verses and copy; it does a browser select which crosses the columns. The app selects correctly.

Thank you for your kind encouragement. To select a few verses, 1. Tap a version column title. 2. Tap “Display chapter as text". 3. Select some verses and copy it. To copy the whole chapter, press “Copy the whole chapter"
