Please consider providing this soon!!

Thanks!!

It’s unlikely we’ll do this in the near near future, but it’s on the list of features to consider in the future (word highlighting, not necessarily any specific features of Kay Arthur’s system).

Is there any chance you’ll be releasing a Bible marking system (Say a la Kay Arthur) or the ability to highlight individual words as an option to entire verses in future releases. I use Kay’s system but am currently limited to print Bibles, if I want to do her inductive method marking.

Thanks for continuing to improve an already great product. I’ve been using Laridian products since my Palm Pilot and Compaq Aero days and you never cease to amaze me with the next product out. I’m saving for my iPad now….

On Windows Mobile, though, you install books from your PC with your phone attached. For Android (like iPhone) you will download books directly into the program from our server. There won’t be a separate installation program that runs on your PC.

iPhone users are doing today what you’re asking about for Android. Resources they purchased for Windows Mobile can be downloaded into PocketBible for iPhone without purchasing another copy. Android will work the same way. In fact, that’s what I’m working on right now.

Thanks for seeking our feedback.

Found Laridian
Bought PalmOS Version
Bought a few Bible versions
Phone change to Windows Mobile Smartphone
Bought Pocket PC/Windows Mobile, bought “My Utmost for His Highest”, a few commentaries, and a couple Bible dictionaries. (Pheww….didn’t have to pay FULL price for the OS change).
Phone change to Droid…

…..patiently waiting.

I have found no other droid Bible program that has what Laridian could provide to the Droid.

Other droid Bible program many have good search, but not so easy interface.
Other droid Bible program many have great interface, but limited Bible versions available.
Other droid Bible program many have MANY versions available, but limited dictionaries/commentaries.
Other droid Bible program many have reading programs, but no bookmarking or highlighting.

Other friends at work (100% Christians) and church have the same complaint that, so far, the Droid lacks a superb, not overly expensive, Christian app provider.

So, again…..
…..patiently waiting as I review all the new ‘additional content’ not available the last phone OS change.

PocketBible on your iPhone should have all the functionality you had with DailyReader on your Palm (and more).

To get the free reading plans, simply select “Add/Remove Books” from the menu. Look for “Laridian Reading Plans…”. There are seven of them there.

I suspect the program does what you want it to do, but you haven’t figured out how to do it yet. Try the built-in Help (question mark on the toolbar). If you have specific complaints or questions about how to do things, it is best to send them to tech support so you can get a personal response.

Thanks for the other suggestions.

2) I notice that the there 8 buttons at the bottom in landscape mode and only 6 in portrait mode. I like the Bookmark mark button but don’t always want to turn the display sideways (picky, I know!). Which leads me to suggest is it possible to allow user-defined choice of buttons on the screen as per the iPod Music app where the ‘edit’ option allows you to configure the buttons to your preference?

3)When you in a book and press the ‘goto’ button you are taken right back to the whole Bible choice. Sometimes I only want to go to another chapter but the previous chapter, next chapter taps take too long, especially if you’re at Is 6 and want to go to Is 66! Would it be possible to, say, highlight the current book so that the Go button takes you straight to the chapter screen without having to reselect the book again?

I hope this is not too much to digest but I think that this app is worthy of such enhancements because it does so much already.

Cheers,
Steve.

Even if it’s optional and maybe not out at first I sure hope this entire Bible/book scrolling does make it to the Android release!

Thank you for your work!

I have been a Laridian software user for years and years. I have sorely missed it on my Nexus One. For some of us who just want to get it going on our Androids, what about initial release with even a single window, basic options, Bible/book picker, basic navigation and please, exit on last > button or exit from > button.

I would prefer a book-like page turn with swipe left and right and scroll with swipe up and down - don’t know what that costs on programming.

I know it is hard to release something early before it is a “finished” product - you always have the critics and complainers out there to contend with.

I would be glad to run a trial or early Beta release. I have done software development and QA since 1985.

All that said, please be encouraged to get moving!!!!!

Thanks for great products.

I agree it’s not a contest as to which is better. In context, my comment about things that were “better” about iPhone had to do with the “feel” of using the device. The iPhone user interface is smoother and more polished. And again, in context, I was summarizing what those who have used both the iPhone and Android were saying.

The goal of the original post, to which this one is a follow-up, was to ask those who had used both platforms to comment on what they liked better about each and what was unique about Android that we should take advantage of in our program. It wasn’t to figure out which is “better”.

I, too, would be extremely excited about the possibility of participating in a beta program. I have participated in several, and would love to help your company produce an exceptional product as you always have!

For example, I just switched to Android platform. I looked around, and i’ll try ipocketbible.com, but if I don’t find something, I’ll go buy something else, which means that I probably won’t buy any more books from Laridian in the future, since I no longer have an app on my phone that can take advantage of it.

I’d much rather be able to stay with Laridian, so I hope an app comes out soon, or the mobile site is pretty useable.

I would like to see a new feature added that would allow you to store bible verses during service along with notes. A journal feature so to speak. This way I could reference the verses later allowing for deeper study.

I am available for beta testing. I really need something I can work with on my HTC Evo.
