Ratings and reviews

I find it very useful and very easy to use except for the confusing 7 buttons which all start with the letter "KWA" when searching for a Bible chapter in the Xhosa version. I see that many people have been complaining about this for a long time, but there is no appetite to change it.

Please fix the Bible titles. Some titles are named KWA which is not distinctive at all for 7 books. Not all of us know the sequence of books by heart, trust me. It's as if the developer never reviewed the app before releasing it. Another thing, there are at least el3 books titled KUTI. Which one is which. The effort is highly appreciated, but it just feels like you didn't put much care to some if not most of the books'titles.

I have been searching for the right bible app for a very long time and this is by far the best Xhosa bible out there it's 98% perfect, my one concern is the Books menu, the shortening of the names is confusing and time wasting,for example if you are looking for Kwabaseroma it's shortened as "KWA" and there are 8 more KWA's which means you'll have to go through them all before finding the right one. Otherwise everything else is perfect
