I'm guessing most people have a long library list.  For other android apps with long lists there is a thumb button on the right that appears when you begin to scroll down.  If you drag the thumb button you can scroll much more quickly.  That would be helpful for the library. Thanks.

    I noticed that something that looks like a scroller appears on the right edge when I begin to scroll down the list. But it is too small to be useful and it disappears very quickly.

    Did you know that you can quickly scroll to a specific spot in your library (or search it) by typing letters in the "find" box above. I think a scroll bar like google music might be helfpul but isn't as necessary as a lot of improvements because of the quickness of navigating one's library using the find box.

    Thanks for the tip!  I did know that and have used it to find items.  I agree it isn't necessary but I would still like it.  It seems like typing would take longer too.  Seemed also like something that wouldn't take much work to add, but then again I'm not a programmer.  Anyhow, that's my 2cents.

    Also customized filters would be nice.."bibles only" or "English Bibles only", or "Commentaries only"...or even the last 5 used things that you typed in your library  or something...just anything to whittle it down to a manageable level.... :)

    I definitely agree with that.

    Dear Jacob,

    While it is true that we can find what we want by typing in the "find" box, sometimes we would just like to browse our library. While browsing, there are often sections that we want to skip, like a long list of journals that we probably will not be of interest in a browse mode. So I think both are needed.
