Just made a few small changes.
4.3.3
2021-05-16
We changed the "Share" button on the Search screen to use PDF format instead of html.
We also made it format the verses as a block if they are a block of text.
4.3.1
2021-05-12
We kept the audio playing for daily reading, even when the screen goes to sleep.
4.3
2021-05-10
We added a speed setting for speech. So you can have your daily reading read to you faster, (or slower), if you want.
And we added an auto continue reading option, so speech will automatically move to the next chapter and keep reading for you.
4.2
2021-04-20
We fixed a bug where the app could crash if you rotated your phone too fast while in the parallel Bibles mode.
We also added a new way of searching for verse ranges “Rom 1:12-e” will find verses from 12 to the end of the chapter.
So will “Rom 1:12+”
“Rev 16-e” will show chapters 16-22 of Revelation
So will “Rev 16+”

We added a setting so you can turn off the daily reminders if you're behind in your reading.
4.0
2020-02-24
We completely rewrote everything from scratch to take advantage of the new generation of operating systems.
We added speech for daily reading and search results, so your phone will read the chapter or verses to you.
This also improved performance, enabling us to expand the thesaurus.
We added the ability for you to edit the thesaurus. In case we missed some words you search for, or if you want to change some of the ones we already have.
We added ~ search. You could already do =search to find just that word, ~search will let you find variations of the word, but it won't reference the thesaurus.
So you if you specifically want to search for prayer, you can search for "=prayer" to find just prayer and Prayer. "~prayer" will find pray, prays, praying, prayer, prayed, prayers, ...
But "pray" will find all those plus petition, beseech, etc...
We added Chinese bibles and they also have the "smart kanji" feature that the Japanese bibles have.
And they can be read with pinyin as ruby text, or as just pinyin with no Chinese characters if that's what you prefer.
And we included NIV 1984 version.
3.9.2
2019-11-12
We fixed a bug where searching in a book or group where the search target was also the name of a book or group, would find the wrong things.
For example, searching for "gospel near baptism in NT" would match gospel on all the gospel books instead of just the verses with the word gospel in them.
3.9
2018-12-07
updated to the latest revision of Little Watchman Translation
3.8
2017-12-04
fixes the issue caused by changes in iOS11.1 where the app would freeze every time it showed you a message.
3.7.1
2017-04-14
Fixed a bug where searches weren't being added to history.
3.7
2017-01-25
We just updated the WEBLWT version due to a new revision of the LWT New Testament.
3.6
2016-07-28
Fixed a bug with searching for multiple references separated by ;s
Fixed a bug searching the Japanese Bible for a phrase in romaji.
3.5
2016-07-18
We added the "=" option for searching just for the specific word and not any of its derivatives or matching words from the thesaurus.
So searching for "kingdom" will find kingdom, king, ruler, etc... but searching for "=kingdom" will only match kingdom and Kingdom.
You can use this when search for phrases too, so you can now search for "=kingdom of =god" to find only that exact phrase.
3.4
2016-07-05
We added the ability to search for phrases. When you do it will still use the thesaurus, so searching for "eat bread" will also find verses with "ate bread", "eaten bread", etc... You can also combine searches for two phrases with "and", "or" and "not". And you can restrict the search to certain books or collections.
We added the ability to search for two words or phrases near each other using the new keyword "near". So searching for "Adam near Eve" will find all the verses with Adam which are within two verses of a verse with Eve.
And we increased the number of words in the thesaurus to make finding verses even easier.
3,2
2016-04-09
We fixed a bug that was showing incorrect results for users searching the ASV Bible.
There were no other changes, so skip this upgrade if you don't use the ASV.
3.1
2016-04-01
We added the ability to export your search results using airdrop, email, sms, etc...
3.0
2015-07-30
As well as making things work a bit more smoothly for existing versions...
The big news for this update is that we added the Japanese Colloquial Bible.
Along with that we added settings for furigana, hiragana, romaji and spacing for the Japanese text. You can also specify which kanji (if any) you do or don't recognise and the ones you don't know will be automatically replaced with furigana, hiragana or romaji.
We added the ability to ignore particular words when searching. So now you can search for "pray -praying" to find verses with any form of "pray" but not "praying".
We fixed a few small bugs which didn't occur very frequently.
One to do with searching using the @ keyword to specify the range of books to search.
One where the Bibles in the "Parallel Settings" could sometimes have blank names.
And one where the Parallel Settings could be missing some Bibles you have access to.
We also improved the layout for search results and particularly for the parallel view.
The LWT was updated since the last version, and we have merged it with the WEB Old Testament so you can still search a whole Bible.
2.8
2014-10-10
Using LORD instead of Yahweh is just superstition. We added an optional processor (see Settings) which will change it back.
Jesus is a made up name derived from the Latin Iesus. We added an optional processor (see Settings) which will change it to the more accurate Hebew/Aramaic name Yeshua.
2.7.2
2014-08-08
Fixed a bug where selecting some chapters in your reading plan wouldn't work (for example, 1 John 1).

We added a badge to the Home View to tell you if you are behind in your Daily Reading.

Young's Literal Translation
King James Version
World English Bible
American Standard Version
Little Watchman Translation (New Testament Only)
We have decided not to support any translations which are sold for profit.
You can now change the order that Bibles appear in the parallel view.
2.6
2014-06-13
We updated the look and feel a bit.
We fixed a bug with the Daily Reading plan which could tell you that you were behind in your reading even when you didn't have it turned on.
We fixed a bug where the bottom line of the verse could sometimes be cut off halfway on an iPad.
We fixed a bug where clicking "Next" in the Parallel view could cause a problem if there was only one verse in the results.
