Daniel in RSV-CE

Thank you to Kayle for pointing out some chapter and footnote problems in the book of Daniel in RSV-CE. I have sent an update to the app store and will let you know when it has been accepted and released.

One of the challenges in Daniel is that there is some deuterocanonical text (from the Septuagint) inserted in the middle of chapter 3. In the print version of the RSV-CE you have chapter 3 verses 1-23, italicized verses 1-68, then non-italicized verses 24-30. To make things a little easier logic-wise, I named those italicized verses 1-68 "chapter 15". It helps to not have two sets of verses in chapter 3 with the same numbers.

Unfortunately, what works logic-wise, can sometimes be initially confusing to the human eye.

But, I assure you, the above listing is as intended! The first "chapter 3" is verses 1-23. Then the 68 verses of "chapter 15". Then the second "chapter 3", which is verses 24-30.

Not an ideal solution, but hopefully not too confusing now that it has been explained.

For even more fun with chapter numbering, see what happens in the book of Esther.

Update: Now available in the app store.

3.0 (and bookmarks) in store

As many of you have noticed by now, 3.0 is now available in the App Store. Along with some bug fixes, the biggest new feature is Bookmarks. You can now bookmark verses for easy reference later.

View screenshots and details on the new product page.

I hope you find Bookmarks easy and intuitive to use.

Reina-Valera & RSV crash in 2.2.x

Several users have reported crashes in 2.2.x. I have tracked the problem to a section of code that does not deal correctly with those that have the 1909 text selected in Settings. I will fix this for the next update, which I hope to have available in a week or two.

In the meantime, the best way around this bug is to select the "Sagradas Escrituras" text in Settings before upgrading from 2.1 to 2.2.x. If you did not do this and are currently experiencing crashes, delete and re-install VerseWise from your device to restore functionality. Or you can wait for the next update.

I am very sorry for the inconvenience this is causing!

2.2.2 in store

This update includes:

• Updated for iOS 4, supporting fast app switching
• Updated assets for iPhone 4 screen
• Minor bug fixes (including network indicator)

On to the 2.3 update, which will include user bookmarks!

iPhone 4

I hope those that got the new iPhone 4 are enjoying it!

I am working on updating the assets, including the application icon. As you can see, it will be quite an improvement over what is currently displayed on the iPhone 4.

I hope to have this out soon, along with the iOS 4 fix.

iOS 4

Those of you updating to iOS 4 today, you may notice a minor bug in VerseWise! The first time you run the app every day, the network indicator does not turn off.

This is slightly annoying, but nothing is happening -- the indicator is just erroneously staying on. I'll have a fix (along with some other minor fixes I need to do) in the store soon.

Bug fixes

Thank you to Andrew, John, Henry and Fr. Patrick for reporting bugs that will be fixed in the next update.
