PocketBible 2.0 now available on the Windows Phone Store

Posted on: May 10th, 2013 by Michelle Stramel No Comments

We’re happy to announce that version 2 of PocketBible for Windows Phone is now available for free download at the Windows Phone Store.

For those using the standard edition of Windows Phone, you’ll find many usability enhancements including better images in the cloud library, being able to pause and resume downloading via buttons in the cloud library, improvements in back button behavior (set this to exit program if you’d like) and more.

For those using the Advanced Feature set with PocketBible for Windows Phone, a major new feature is the ability to synchronize your data including bookmarks, notes, highlights and reading progress with the Laridian server and other devices running PocketBible.

If you have a Windows Phone 8 device and are using Advanced Features you can take advantage of the great new voice capabilities of PocketBible. Have the program read Bibles and books outloud to you. Or use voice commands to launch PocketBible and open it at a specific verse.

Version 2 of PocketBible for Windows Phone is a free download from the Windows Phone Store. Advanced Features can be purchased from within the app for only $6.99.

Windows Phone: Call for Testers

Posted on: April 22nd, 2013 by Michelle Stramel No Comments

We have had a fantastic response to our initial PocketBible for Windows Phone release. Many customers have been asking when synchronization would be available. We are very pleased to tell you that we are ready to ask for some testers to help us with testing synchronization!

Synchronization is such an important part of the product that we would like more testers to make sure it is ready for a full release. Please consider joining our test group here. The need for testers is immediate.

In the meantime we’ll try and answer some questions that you might have:

When will the updated version of PocketBible be available in the Windows Phone store?
We are still working through the process of releasing the application and make sure that it is finished. Your testing will help us to decide when it is ready.

Are there other new features in this version?
The main new feature is synchronization, there are other exciting changes which we are not ready to publicly announce yet.

When will the beta be released?
It is available right now if you participate in the beta testing.

How will you take feedback?
We have set up a private mailing group that will allow you to give us feedback and discuss it with other testers. The developers will be reading this and will be able to interact with you to resolve any problems and take your feedback.
