VerseWise Bible v5.0.1 for iPhone available

In 5.0.1:

• Minor bug fixes, textual corrections
• Fixed two crashes

See the 5.0 post for more.

This is now available for:

• King James Version
• Douay Rheims
• Revised Standard Version
• Revised Standard Version, Catholic Edition
• Eastern Orthodox Bible

The Orthodox Study Bible update was also submitted but got hung up. It should be available in about a week.

Thank you to user Roberto for pointing out that an app icon is not displaying when VerseWise for iPhone is installed on an iPad. A fix will be uploaded to the store as soon as possible. With Apple taking a holiday break, however, it will probably be a couple weeks until it is available. My apologies!

VerseWise Bible KJV v5 available

VerseWise Bible for KJV v5 is now available in the App Store!

• Modernized interface for iOS 7 & 8
• Updated for iPhone 6 and 6+
• Uses Dynamic Type for increased readability
• Improved "low light mode"
• Other minor improvements and bug fixes

Please let me know if you see anything amiss! The next update will not be so long in coming.

Updates for the other iPhone versions will be available within a couple weeks. We'll see if I can update iPad after that.

iOS 7/8 update

Apologies for the lack of recent updates, but I'm still here! Distracted, but here.

An iOS 7/8 update is on the way. Just added support for iPhone 6 and 6+. It doesn't look like many of you have upgraded to the new models yet, but for those that have, a non-scaled app is on the way!

iPhone 6+

For those waiting for iPad news, I'm hoping to have more clarity have this month's Apple event. Rumor has it that there might be some interesting news regarding the sizing of apps on the screen. More to come.

Back to the start

Whatever could this mean?

VerseWise Bible v4.4.2 in the App Store

The iOS 5/6 bug fix update for iPhone that I mentioned previously is now in the App Store for VerseWise Bible King James Version, Douay-Rheims, Revised Standard Version and Revised Standard Version (Catholic Edition).

• Fixed some crashes (particularly in iOS 7)
• Fixed Facebook sharing to use native libraries and thus work how you'd expect (iOS 6+ only)
• Other minor fixes & enhancements

Working on a similar update for Eastern Orthodox Bible and Orthodox Study Bible.

iOS 7

Hello! iOS 7 will be coming out tomorrow so I thought I'd share an update.

I will be working on iOS 7 updates for the iPhone apps (KJV, DR, RSV, RSV-CE, EOB, OSB). The bad news is that these updates will not be able to support iOS 5 -- they will be iOS 6 & 7 only, if that. (There is a chance they'll be iOS 7 only if it becomes too difficult to support both. But most every device that supports iOS 6 also supports iOS 7, so I don't think that'll be a problem for most.)

Because there are still a couple fixes I want to send to the iOS 5 folks, I submitted what may be the final iOS 5/6 update to the App Store for KJV, DR, RSV and RSV-CE today. EOB and OSB will also be updated soon.

The current versions in the App Store work pretty well in iOS 7. I did notice a little more crashing in iOS 7; today's submission contains a fix for that.

I've been using iOS 7 for the past week. After some initial disorientation, I am coming around. I am looking forward to the apps I use updating to the new aesthetic and am looking forward to updating VerseWise as well. Particularly there are some advances in text display that I would like to use. (I guess that's an argument for going iOS 7-only.)

Stay tuned!
