Faithlife Study Bible app is not built for Proclaim

Ben Woomer

I like the idea of attaching signals for the congregation to interact with slides before and during the service but the current Faithlife Study Bible app is horrendous for Proclaim content. It feels like the interactive features of the presentations just got shoe-horned into a study Bible app. The backend seems to work well from what I can tell so far. I can see the presentation signals appear at the bottom of the app screen and they cycle through (relatively) appropriately with the pre-service slides. The front-end interface is horrible though. The signals appear as tiny notifications and I have no way to access them after the slide progresses. The bulletin notification appears once and then cannot be found again. There needs to be a dedicated portion of the app (or a separate stand-alone app) where members of the congregation can access the bulletin and the various signal items. It needs to be user-friendly and obvious that they are in the right app to interact with the service.
