Great work! Adding highlights and notes now works, but the new notes do not appear in favorites in the app after creation. Also, desktop notes still do not appear. Favorites only show my folders created on my desktop and the Mobile Favorites folder. I have a main folder called Bible Studies with subfolders for different books. Also, when adding notes in the android app, it DOES shows my desktop notes under the Document option, but the only folder that show is Bible Studies and not the bible book folders.

Will continue to test the new beta, but I still cannot see the highlighters in anything but low light mode. The underlinings. And things like yellow glow show fine still. Team Logos any idea?

Issue:
Description – Since upgrading to the Build 49 Beta, I no longer see any highlighting (normal or low light)--but application responsiveness is now great.
App Info – Bible
Device Info – Google Nexus 7
Android Version – 4.1P.S. I had the app open for a while (5-10 minutes) during church service this AM. It was just sitting in an open state, with Bible in the foreground (ESV and ESVSB open in split panes that were linked)--and the application crashed on its own, giving me a notice that "Bible" stopped working and had to be closed (I've forgotten the exact error message). It re-opened fine, and I didn't have the problem afterward. I don't think I was running any other apps in the background at the time.

I did an complete uninstall and reinstalled 2.0.5 and the notes were still not available. so i uninstalled 2.0.5 and reinstalled 2.0.4 and note were once again available. This was happening with Bible, Vysro and Faith Life.

Love the latest version. It is working great on both my kindle fire and my samsung galaxy.
I have one feature recommendation for the mobile versions. I would love to see a force sync option. I have taken notes/highlights on my kindle while it was offline and i cant seem to get them synced with my desktop. It happened once but now it isn't working. I'm assuming that i just need to wait but it would be nice to know all your stuff was synced.

The Apps look better with each build. I have notice with this last build that I am no longer given an option to download any bibles for offline use. Is this a known issue or has something changed with permissions?

Android version - 2.2

Hi Mark
I've just tried it and it works fine for me - either from the library or from the info pane in the Bible itself.
I am running build 49 on an HTC phone running Android 2.3.5
How are you trying to trigger the download - what do you see?

So far this beta is working great. However, I would like to see the search feature upgraded. It's not functional enough, e.g you can not choose whether to search just the old or new testament, or even just a particular book. That seems so limited to me. Anyways, great update.

THANK YOU! It took a few minutes to get all my notes and highlights synced on my Samsung SIII, but after that was done, it looked great!
One request: Can you keep the same colors in the "dim" color scheme? My yellow highlights show as pink which is kind of odd.I would expect the highlights should stay the same regardless of color scheme.
Thanks

Hi Brian
Absolutely agree that this is needed.
The iOS app works in the same way and a number of people have requested that this functionality is provided there.
Hopefully this is something which will get delivered on both

I successfully loaded the Beta onto my HTC Incredible and I can see notes I created on my PC, but some of the notes say: "not available" when I tap on them and some show up as expected. Any ideas?
