I click on the Bible verses and they do not pull up the verse. It just puts a blue box around the verse. Please help.

    Can you post a screen shot using the paperclip?

    Orthodox Bishop Alfeyev: "To be a theologian means to have experience of a personal encounter with God through prayer and worship."; Orthodox proverb: "We know where the Church is, we do not know where it is not."

    Notice that it does it on my iPhone, too. it won’t open the verse. It just puts a blue box around it.

    Welcome to the forums, Bryan

    I see the same behaviour you are describing. I think, but am not sure, this is a change from how it worked at launch and I agree it is not ideal.

    But one of the challenges in providing this functionality would be that, with preaching mode operating in "full screen" mode, referencing a biblical verse would switch over to another tab and we would need to then switch back to the sermon tab.

    I would like Faithlife to consider having the ability for preaching mode to run half screen with the option of having a Bible open in the other half - or for the other half to be where linked commentary articles etc appear.

    But it would be quite a change in how it works - and would probably only work on tablets rather than phones due to screen size.

    I also second this functionality, or else the ability to click the reference and have it come up as it does on the desktop version. Either way, this would enhance greatly the preaching mode functionality.
