Using Samsung Galaxy S, Android 2.3

1. Basic Search for Pharisee in JFB

  • Each set of results comes quite quickly on my WiFi. 
  • Would like an Exact search option as match all word forms is too verbose
  • it seems to be a Ranked search but results differ from my desktop L4 e.g.
    • there are 2 x Chapter 12 results after the initial Chapter 8
    • Chronological Tables of the Parables of Christ is ranked lower

2. Text Comparison  (Lk 24:3)

  • Active bible now included
  • My Top bibles appear with the active one
  • Would like Ignore options, especially for Case & Punctuation, as the result is different to Desktop L4



3. Basic Search for citations

  • accessible by swiping up in a bible  -- OK
  • <Jn 3:16> when typed doesn't offer a "Go" button. Eventually figured to use Search icon on virtual keyboard!

4. Verse Picker / Passage Box

  • work well both online and offline

5. Offline Messages should be consistent

  • "Search failed" (Search)
  • "Connection to website timed out"  (TC, BWS and PG)

6. Bug

Up-swipe on Phil 4:6 or 4.7 in NKJV whilst offline kept returning Phil 4:4, the verse at start of page. Phil 4:8 at bottom of page was OK with up-swipe. It took about 7 swipes before those verses returned OK.  Similar happens with other verses e.g. Phil 4:9, Lk 2:6 where verse boundaries are close to the start of swipe.

    4. Verse Picker / Passage Box

    The Passage Box takes far longer to locate the verse whilst online!

    Bug: Search results include footnote markers and unnecessarily truncated e.g.

    1. Ex 6:12 - NKJV

    n shall Pharaoh heed me, for sI am 9of xxxxxxxxx

    uncircumcised lips?" xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

    (where xxxx shows the right border of the display in Portrait orientation).

    instead of:

    How then shall Pharaoh heed me, for I am of

    uncircumcised lips?"

    2. Ex 6:30 - NKJV

    id before the LORD, “Behold, nI am 4of xxxxxxxx

    uncircumcised lips, and how shall Pharaoh he...

    [Portrait]

    id before the LORD, “Behold, nI am 4of uncircumcised lips, and how shall Pharaoh

    heed me?"

    Dave,

    Thanks for your systematic testing of the app... you're going to help make it better for all of us... can see your IT background, even if you're claiming your'e retired.  :-)

    (I'm retired, too, from Boeing IT. Aren't all IT retirees full time pastors? LOL)

    Grace & Peace,
    Bill

    Bug: Bible Word Study on Alpha in NKJV

    The Example Use section states "Object" but there is no reference unlike BWS for Omega (Rev 1:8).

    However it is also interesting that the Definition differs from Desktop BWS (below)

    Android shows:-

    Louw-Nida  first

    DBL Greek first

    How come Android shows my top ranked Lexicons whilst Desktop shows my bottom ranked ones?

    Annoyance:  Virtual keyboard is OK to start a Search but it always comes up when displaying search results and has to be removed manually.

    The Beta version no longer displays morphology (also Strong's no.?) with a long press. Will this information be viewable again?

    Contrary to my memory, Dave's right... it doesn't even do so in BHS, & I'll assume it doesn't in NA27 either.

    Will this information be viewable again?

    We need it... especially for RI's & original language texts. Along with off-line basic search capability, it's also needed for parity of functionality with other pocket pc Bible s/w that's been out for years & has nowhere near the potential that this does.

    I am able to reproduce that behavior. I have submitted this issue to our developers for review.
