I really love the app and option to set the date in which you'll start if you're ahead in your reading. The 1/3x and 1/4x options work best for me. I've been using it for a while now and I've really enjoyed using it. I love the look of the app and the options of slower reading or catching up by pressing the speed x and not losing your progress and having to start over. Thanks for the app, it's really made my daily reading more regular and I'm definitely happier about that šŸ˜ŠšŸ’•šŸ‘

Thank you. Note that the speed option has now changed to selecting the duration. There are now adjusted schedules for each duration. It is also possible to read without an end date at your own pace.

This is very nice. I like that you can back date or enter the date you started at any time. This is particularly helpful if you switch phones or lose data. I am currently using the Bible Reading Schedule app which allows you to choose to read the books in order or chronological reading (which I prefer). If your app added that feature as well as the behind/ahead, I think it would be 5 stars.

Thank you for your feedback. You might be happy to notice, that a chronological reading is now available. Please update and enjoy. The app has the option to start reading at any section. Does that cover what you express by the behind/ahead feature? If not feel free to send an email to support@searchwork.org offering additional information.

I noticed, when not using the "end date" option, the reading is numbered by days 1-365. 1) Can you please note the Dates starting from 'day 1', its 'January 1', then on 'day 365' its 'December 31' OR letting us pick a start and end date ourselves. I want to jump into the app now to continue my yearly reading showing today's date, lined up with the generic Jan-Dec schedule. 2) PLEASE: Back Button to show the days again already read, to go back to reread and do more research if needed. Thank you.

Thanks for your feedback! You should use the app "With End Date", then "Start Over" and check the latest section that you have read. That should allow you to continue where you currently are. Regarding 2) you can always uncheck a section in order to "go back" with reading. If I misunderstood, please send more details to support@searchwork.org.
