iPad Pro 9.7 128GB wifi only; latest version of Bible app.
This is a long-standing bug that is very annoying. Every other app I have recognizes when internet connectivity has been restored. In case it's important, I won't have internet access due to being on flights or being in a location with no wifi I trust; and I can't or won't enable my phone's hotspot.
The Bible app functions pretty well (within well-known constraints) when there is no internet access. But when internet access returns, the app simply doesn't know about it. The Library will still only show downloaded books. Search still won't work. Lookup on a word just goes to the iOS dictionary.
The only way I know to recover is to exit the app, use iOS to kill it, then restart the app. At that point things begin functioning normally. Obviously, that's a lousy workaround.
I would submit logs, but I still can't do that via the gmail app. 
Please correct this problem. Thank you.
