Touch Gestures eliminated with the new update

Pastor Julius A. Renwick, M.Div.

I am writing this message to express my frustration with the latest update of the app. The new version has eliminated the essential feature where we could tap and hold any word for information (touch gestures), and it is also not allowing us to highlight and mark up the text in the way we want. These issues are making it difficult for me to conduct word searches in the original language and are hindering my study.


I realize that this is a beta app, but this has always been a basic function.  I'm requesting an immediate fix for these problems as they are significantly impacting my experience with the app (including my ability to study on the go via my tablet). I know that you will take this matter seriously and provide a solution promptly.

Also, I have provided an image that illustrates that will highlighted the pop up screen with options never displays.


Thank you for your attention to this matter.


Sincerely, 

Julius A. Renwick
