The step to next/previous feature is great. For Bibles, the Article selection should step by pericope instead of chapters. Chapters is already a selection possibility.
The article option steps by pericope in the Bibles that have them. It would be nice to have the submenu note this.
Thanks for the info. All of the following bibles have pericope titles. Only three jump by pericope. So it is more of a bible formatting issue than a software issue. Hopefully more bibles are formatted to take advantage of the feature! ESV & ESV-CE - jumps by chapter RSV2CE - jumps by chapter NLT - jumps by chapter NABRE - jumps by chapter NIV - jumps by chapter CSB - jumps by chapter NASB95 - jumps by chapter NET & NET2e - jumps by pericope NRSV-CE - jumps by pericope
This is a user set parameter
I checked a couple of the Bibles he indicated (which have pericopes); even when you set the parameter to Article, it steps to the next Chapter, unlike the NRSV-CE which correctly steps to the next pericope.
Can you give me your examples to test? Any that do not jump by pericope should be reported as a bug.
I tried the ESV, NIV, and CSB.
Mr. Smith. Just do exactly what I did. 1) Choose a bible 2) Make sure "Step to next/previous" is set to Article 3) Hit the up and down arrows and observe what happens
I gave you the results from 11 different bibles already. The data speaks for itself. 1) The feature does work as advertised (stepping to pericopes when available) 2) Only a few bibles are formatted properly to take advantage of this feature
(I just checked again as some bibles were recently update. Interestingly, NRSV doesn't jump to pericope, but NRSV-CE does!)
PS: Thanks for the interest!
MJ (she) has already written up a bug report for this. I’m using my phone right now and I won’t trouble myself to look for the link to post here.
ETA: I'm back on my laptop; here is her post:
@John Z.
The NRSV does jump by pericope for me which is why I thought you had the unit of step set incorrectly.
This is a big issue. Most of us study by pericope, not by chapter. Please fix this for all Bibles (especially the ESV please!)
Agreed. It is a bit disappointing that 8 months have passed since this has been reported and nothing has been done. Agreed that ESV and ESV-CE should be a priority.
I would like to see a voice (text-to-speech) option in Smart Search, etc.
Adding the ‘Copy Bible Verses’ tool to the Mobile App tools would be a very handy addition.
Before the latest update, when I was in the bible tab on my mobile device, I could click the magnifying glass and type a reference like "Eph 5" and hit enter and it would jump to Ephesians chapter 5. Now, something different happens. It shows all kinds of unhelpful references. Honestly, I'm not sure why it shows all these…
I've been playing with (and using) the AI TTS voices and features of apps such as Speechify, Peech, Natural Reader, etc. These high-quality, natural human-sounding, non-robotic voices have made my reading (listening) so much more productive. Some of the features (such as tracking-highlight during read-aloud, option to skip…
Why hasn't Verbum provided a Lectionary of the 1962 Missale Romanum, including accurate English renderings of the Latin Text? Why is not the 1962 Liturgy available for use in the Homily Manager's Lectionaries Tool? Your subscribers can use all these Lectionaries but not the 1962 MR: Catholic Daily Readings Byzantine…
