What's New

It has been a while since the last update, thanks for your patience - I hope you are still enjoying the app.

This update fixes a few issues and adds some new features.

New In-App Browser
================

- Much easier to install new Bible EPUB files and Schedules.
- Support for browser bookmarks.
- From the main Bible window you can open the browser from the top/right menu, or using a two-finger tap (must be enabled in Settings > General).
- Use this feature to share a website while out in the ministry for example.

Backups
=======

- Backups can now be shared to any app, not just email.
- The backup file name now includes the date and device (iPad or iPhone).

Other Improvements
================

- Added a search to bookmark folders.
- Improved support for 6.7" and mini screen sizes.
- Added the ability to lock in the screen in portrait mode in Settings > General.
- You can now change font size from the top/right menu in both the main Bible window and the Chapter window (dropping support for the pinch / zoom gesture here).

PS: iOS 14 or higher is now required to use the app.

PPS: If you are still enjoying the Equipd Bible app it would really be appreciated if you could leave a review on the App Store.

App Description

Welcome to the Equipd Bible - a powerful Bible reading and personal study app.

What makes the Equipd Bible different from other Bible apps? It has been carefully optimised for daily workflows, from using in the ministry, to daily bible reading and collating your favourite scriptures and study notes. Use it one-handed on your iPhone or in split-screen mode on your iPad. Look up selected verses with the fastest copy scripture tool ever. Personalise this Bible app and make it your own.

* Load compatible Bibles in EPUB format from the Equipd website or other approved sources. Check www.equipd.me/bibles for more information.

* View different Bibles side-by-side for easy comparison. Or read just one Bible full-screen.

* Load multiple languages side-by-side for sharing in the ministry with those from different cultures. Great for language learners.

* Bible Reading Schedules with reminder notifications. You can setup one or multiple schedules at a time. Never get behind on daily Bible reading again.

* For Chinese users or learners ... automated Pinyin, Zhuyin (Bopomofo), Sidney Lau, or Yale romanization can be generated and shown in 2-line format above the Simplified or Traditional characters.

* For Japanese users or learners ... automated Furigana or Romaji in 2-line format.

* Jump from viewing just the selected verses to the Chapter window to get the full context.

* Multiple ways to look up scriptures. Use the 3 scrollers at the top, or the Bible Picker accessed from the toolbar. Use the double-tap or "shake" gestures to show the Picker - great for one-handed use on the iPhone.

* Add study notes against verses. View notes for the current chapter in a side-panel (iPad and iPhone Plus). Access all notes from the toolbar.

* Import MP3 files for offline audio. In Safari locate a MP3 ZIP file and "Open in..." the Equipd Bible.

* The easiest "Copy" scripture feature you have ever seen. Great for copying scriptures into note-taking apps.

* Bookmarks organised by topic or category. You can even put a comment against a bookmarked scripture to highlight a main point or line of reasoning.

* History of scripture lookups.

* Backup and Restore of verse notes and bookmarked scriptures, with backup reminders.

* Clipboard Lookups - just copy a scripture from another document or app, and then open Equipd ... Equipd will try and look it up for you!

* A powerful URL scheme so that you can create links to open scriptures in the Equipd Bible from external apps or documents. The Equipd Bible implements the x-callback-url scheme for developers to integrate with.

* Streamlined workflow and screen rotation for all devices from the iPhone 4S to the larger iPhone 6 Plus, and of course it works great on the iPad. iOS 7 or above is required.

* Split Screen support for iPad mini 4, iPad Air 2, iPad Pro.
