I presume that iOS updated to 9 about two weeks ago as that is when automatic syncing stopped and now has to be done manually. This means I can no longer read texts across devices knowing that the text will open, i.e., on the iPad where I left off on the computer, because it will not. The only solution I can find is to add a Note to act as a marker and then a manual sync from the iPad. No improvement when I upgraded to Verbum 9 two days ago.
Verbum 9 defaults to dark mode on installation which was fine until I found that personal notes added to highlighted notes were not visible on the iPad. It took two days to resolve by reverting to light mode on the computer and manually changing the colour of text I had added using Verbum 9 (fortunately not much) from white to black. No more dark mode, sadly.
