Interlinears virtually unusable

With limited screen space on an iPhone, and even an iPad, interlinear-type Bibles like the Lexham Discourse GNT are practically unusable. Only a few words can be displayed at a time.

Please allow users to disable interlinear elements so that, for instance, only the text of the LDGNT is displayed, not all the lemmas, parsing, meaning, Louw-Nida, etc.

This is really the one feature I keep hoping has been added every single time an update comes out :) But so far, to no avail...

    HI Peter,

    I'm not sure this is possible at this point. It would probably require a re-write for books with this feature specifically for the mobile version of the software. The reason you don't see this problem in bibles that have interlinear options is because the interlinear portion of the resource is a physically different file, whereas books like the Lexham Discourse GNT are not. I'll check to see if there is any way we can make these resources more usable on the mobile device.

    Hi Peter,

    I forgot to mention that in the meantime if you shrink the size of the font, you can fit more text on the screen.
