What’s New

Version 4.17.0

NEW FEATURES AND ENHANCEMENTS
• Changed "Change Login ID or Password" to "Account Login" on the menu to better reflect what this function does.
• We are now required to give you the option to delete your Laridian account anywhere that we give you the ability to create an account. Added a "Delete Account" feature to the Account Login dialog. Provided a full description of the data being deleted, the implications of deletion (since it affects PocketBible running on non-iOS platforms and permanently removes access to products you have paid for), and alternatives to account deletions in different situations — all to help reduce accidental permanent deletion of accounts.

FIXES
• Account Login screen how has a dark background in all contexts when a dark color scheme is chosen.
• Fixed a layout problem on the Cloud Library screen for non-AFS subscribers.
• Addressed an issue that caused the status line at the bottom of the library lists to be unreadable in some color schemes.
• Addressed an issue that could cause an error or crash when deleting a note.

Back for another look

I used this app decades ago, it was my first digital Bible and I have fond memories of it. Looking at it again I remember one unique function, that is multiple windows.
The only downside for me is the feeling that the whole app needs a more clean and modern design. I’m not fond of the edge to edge “crowded” look.
However, kudos for LARIDIAN for keeping this going for so long. Not many things are still good for such a long time.

I am grateful!

I have been using Pocket Bible as my only for many years.
It is brilliantly put together so that it makes Bible reading and study easy and convenient across all my devices. I note against verses in Bible studies and sermons then can see previous notes when I encounter that verse again. I also find the tagging system fantastic. I am very very grateful for those who have developed this great app which I use every day.

A step backwards

I have been using pocket bible for a long time. Before smart phones. Back when it was installed on a Palm Pilot from a CD.

This is the first version that has ever made me wonder whether it is time to look for another app to replace it.

In my time using pocket bible i have purchased multiple bibles and commentaries.

It is only with this version that i have now come to believe that i have wasted my money by buying books that i can only use with this app.

What don’t i like ? Just two things.

1. The text is vertically squashed together. Sure you can make the font bigger and bigger but you can’t increase the space between lines and it is now a horrible reading experience.

2. Even though i have regularly purchased books through laridian over the years with this version i now have to start paying a yearly subscription to get the most out of the app.

Very very very disappointed.
