Update in App Store
There is an update in the app store that says it does among a couple of other things sharing with Twitter and Facebook. But when I download it I don't find any where in the app that allows this. Also the app store keeps saying it has an update available even though I've downloaded it about five times now.
Strange! Is there a problem on your end Logos? Or with Apple?

OK. Sadly, since it only works with content via the web, I don't use it that often yet. So I did not even remember about the swipe option.
Next update we need character count so we know if we are going over 140. Nice update that.

I can't figure out what you are talking about.
I downloaded the new app, going to MORE and then ABOUT, it says I am running 1.10 (32859) Mon Nov 23
Then if I go to PASSAGE GUIDE, I see only five choices: Commentaries, Cross References, Media Resources, Topics, and Interesting Words.
Nothing about SHARE.
What am I missing????

The Share function only seems to work in certain resources. So, go to Read, and as long as you are Reading a supported book, when you swipe up, one of the menu options will be "Share". Works in ESV but not Daily Devotional, for example.

I hate to be a complainer, but I was disappointed to see that they worked on the share feature rather than something like a highlight feature (or download book feature, which maybe they can't do right now because of other reasons).
The share feature just really seems superfluous. I can wait a half hour to an hour till I actually get to a computer to post something in email or facebook (a site which I could really care less about, personally). A feature like highlighting or more access to books seems more practical and I'd rather them prioritize the practical above the superfluous.
But maybe that's just relative to me.

I can see your point. But this is probably a very simple add in and as a heavy Twitter user, I like it. However, if I was prioritizing I would prioritize as you did. The getting books off line part or even getting to use the books you have on the desktop on the iPhone (even in the online fashion it has now) would be a much bigger deal. But I bet they are at the mercy of the publishers and once they get permissions, it will happen likely without need of an update. In the very early moments of the app you could get access to these books. They then turned it off.

This is probably the deciding factor. Adding twitter and facebook abilities is, I imagine, extremely simple compared to highlighting. My guess is that they are working on both and probably place highlighting higher on the charts as well, but if they can spend 2 days getting twitter working and it takes 50 days to get highlighting working, why not keep interest in the app alive a bit for some while knocking down those 50 days at the same time?

Says they are not working on highlighting and have no plans for it. Significant feature of mobile bible software being left out. Sad.
