These demos are done on the iPhone Simulator on the Mac
for ease of recording. The program runs a little slower on an actual iPhone.

Can’t wait until this comes out but suggestion on the basic navigation is to have option to use allow finger swipes as this is more intuitive to the avg. iphone user.

Hi Craig,

I am pleased to see the progress on PocketBible. I especially like the ability to hide the menus etc. and provide more space. Well done.

Do I assume that landscape is also implimented? What about the “swipe” gestures? Do you utilize them too?

I am SO anxious to get the on my iPod touch. My Palm is slowly giving up the ghost, and I really need this soon. I’m praying for a swift and successful beta/approval cycle.

Craig,

This is so cool! I can hardly wait to download PocketBible for iPhone. The videos clearly show how much work you and your team have done to deliver the maximum usability in a Bible app for a mobile device. This will make studying the Bible even more inviting. I am deeply grateful that Laridian choose to do the hard work that has produced an app that will delight both believers and non-believers alike. What a great tool for growing God’s Kingdom. May God continue to richly bless your work.

Warm Regards,

Dan

Wow – looks like a lot of work has gone into this.

I have been eagerly awaiting this to be able to use my large Laridian library on the iPhone.

I am guessing from the above responses that the normal iphone swipe is not available (ie swipe up & down & the text follows your finger)?

Also is two books or a pop-up going to be implemented (ie for linked verses)?

Will Landscape be able to be turned off for reading in bed?

Any word on the price?

Whoa – sorry I’ll stop there. Thanks for the progress report & teasers!

I trust God will use this software to encourage & draw people to Himself 🙂

This is easily the most intuitive and creative bible software I have seen for the iPhone. Well done.

Craig,
Wow, nice work this far, it already looks very functional. I especially like paging (rather than scrolling) and being able to maximize the screen. It will be interesting to try the gestures out… will I swipe chapters when I mean to do pages, or wish for a more accessible back gesture when full screen…

I can’t believe you’re making the reader free… that’s great!

Craig,
Will I be able to use books from publishers other than Laridian like I could with my Pocket PC? Thanks!

This is looking very nice – definitely looking like a viable Bible on the iPhone.

The iPhone app looks really great and I am really anxious. It is obvious a lot of thought and work has gone into the program. I can see from the comments that I don’t need to add anything other than congratulations best wishes for a speedy approval. May God Bless you all for your good work on His behalf as this will surely be a blessing for everyone who uses it.

Outstanding Craig! Looks very well thought out – am so looking forward to using this! I continue to tell everyone why Laridian is my Bible software of choice – both on PC and Mobile Devices.

And nice writeup on the Economics of Christian Publishing. I hope God enriches you and your team very well for the hard work, and the right way, you have approached this effort. Great Job!

Wow – free I am impressed. Once the categoryys for notes & bookmarks are implemented I can do away with my OliveTree program.

Thanks so much for all this work – just have to convince you guys to do an Apple Version now!

Oh two more questions – will bible refs in notes be clickable to go to the verse? Will copy & paste be able to put verses in notes?

After mulling it over I think you’ve made the right decision (funny that!) about the pagination. Although it doesn’t have the ‘wow’ factor of scrolling it might be easier once one gets used to it 🙂

From one Craig to another, terrific work. I have been patiently waiting, and now I am very, very excited to see it getting so close! This is the last app I am hoping to get on my iPhone to make the transition from my Palm complete. You have obviously taken great pains to ‘get it right’ and provide a product that will be used by thousands, if not millions! (I like to think big!!)
Again, kudos for your progress so far, and best of luck in your launch!

Will you be able to show more than one book at a time on the same screen as in the Windows version?
I love this feature as well as syncing the 2 or 3 books together.
I’m really looking forward having your Bible software on the iPhone – Thank You!
