Make page number display persistent... or not
So, I'm on my tablet with my class textbook open in Verbum in my class, and the professor tells us to turn to page 29. I begin scrolling through the book and the page numbers appear at the bottom of the app as I am scrolling along, and I find the page. Then, the prof asks us to turn to page 34. So, I begin scrolling again... only this time, the page numbers are no longer visible at the bottom of the page. I try scrolling backwards, and then scrolling forwards again... nothing.
What is going on? Why is this the intended behavior? Either make page number display persistent, or don't. Better yet, give the mobile app an option in a Settings menu to make page number display persistent.
(Before you say it, I know you can type a page number destination in the TOC at the top of the app--but I don't want to have to do that every time the professor cites a new page number--manually typing on the on-screen keyboard of a tablet is mildly frustrating, especially when the prof moves quickly through page 34, now 36, now 37, now 39. I shouldn't have to stop taking notes in class to take the time to type each of these in as we go along...)

Where at the bottom of the page are you seeing page numbers?

This does not look anything like the iOS app.

Interesting. I've never seen that page number display at the bottom of a book. I'm using the Android version too, but on a phone, not a tablet. I wonder if that's the difference.
Do you have a phone you can reproduce this on, or does it only happen on your tablet?
Here is the view from my Android phone:
I have the same issue on iOS
I don't think you do. Or if so, I don't know how to make page numbers appear at the bottom. In your other thread you were making mention of three sources which don't have page numbers.

Two of them do, see that thread. If you need pictures I can.
I do have the issue of persistent page numbers in iOS (iPhone). For example, in the Dictionary of Science it will change between the title and if far enough into that article a page number. I would like the option to always see the page number
I think you will have better luck with "scrolling" turned off. By doing so, you can swipe through pages and the page number box can remain above. If you tap the screen, it disappears.
