ref.ly links no longer opening in iOS app

After updating to Verbum 31.0.1 (on iPadOS 17.2), I find that when I tap https://ref.ly links in my notes (in another app), they open in Safari, taking me to app.logos.com, where a dialog pops up that says, "Safari cannot open the page because the address is invalid." I assume this dialog is the result of the webpage trying to open the i(Pad)OS app.

This happens even if I copy a new ref.ly link from the Verbum app using Share. I shut down and restarted my iPad to see if that would help, and it didn't. App Store says I updated 2 days ago, but this might be the first time since then I've tried to open a ref.ly link.

Is anyone else seeing this?

    On the iPad, my ref.ly links are first opening in app.logos.com, with an option to open in the iOS app; not ideal (it used to open directly in the app) but better than what you're experiencing.

    On the iPhone, the links open directly in the app, which is the expected behavior.

    I'm running Logos 31.0.1 and iOS 17.3 on both devices.

    I deleted the app and reinstalled it (still 31.0.1 on iPadOS 17.2), and now links open in it again.

    Thanks for the update. Based on your experience, I did a delete and reinstall for my iPad and the links have gone back to opening directly in the app 👍🏽
