Problems with Bible App 5.5.5 on Android 6 Tablet

Thanks for your prompt reply Kevin,

Looking forward to having the reading plan dates put back, in the mean time I'll make sure I don't let my phone update the Bible app.

I installed the Google Keyboard and it does work, no problems!  I still hope you all will be able to fix the problem with the Asus Keyboard though so I can go back to using it.

Also, next time I'll post separate issues in separate threads, sorry about that.

Just wanted to post something to let you know dates in reading plans are still showing weeks instead of the actual date (in android 6).  This was reported back in September - 4 MONTHS AGO! 

It is the kind of issue thatnever should have made it through beta and yet it's still not fixed after 4 months.
Is anyone actually going to do anything to address this??? 

Thank you so much for your reply!

I really appreciate you taking the time to respond to your customers.  I understand you have serious issues to address and that you've made good progress on that front.  I have to say, however, I'm not too encouraged with your final comment, that you will work on it "as soon as it makes sense".  So, I have some feedback I hope you will consider...

As you continue to evaluate and prioritize which bugs to work on, in what order, I'd like to suggest you take into consideration more than just a simple Pareto Analysis (as it seems you are doing).  Surely you are also factoring in the severity of the issues along with numbers affected, but I'd strongly encourage you to also assess the PROBABLE TIME REQUIRED to fix each issue and factor this in as well.  If something appears like it should be a relatively quick fix (such as this bug, for example!), move it up in the priority even if there are other more complex problems which affect a larger number of your customers.  In this way you will fix a greater number of issues and not allow a multitude of 'smaller' issues to continue proliferating - which just makes you guys look bad and frustrates your long time loyal customers (like me).

Fundamental to the problem is this:  The development team seems to have prioritized 'new features' over 'quality'!  In an apparent effort to rush out new features, you guys keep introducing new bugs (or re-introducing old ones, as in this case) - in fact I'm just about to report yet another one today!  I love new features and look forward to them, but not at the expense of reliability or the failure of a previously introduced feature that I have come to rely upon - that is just frustrating.  When a bug like this one comes up - a really basic issue that absolutely should not have made it past beta testing - it serves a testimony against your level of quality assurance and makes it appear as if you don't really value your customer base, or that you are simply incapable of producing a reliable product (I don't think either is true, but this is the message you are sending). If the company continues in this way you will earn yourselves a poor reputation and will frustrate your customer base - no company can survive this very long.

As it is, when someone asks me about my Bible software, I always have to admit frustration at the mobile product (which I use most of the time) and must give a caveat about what ever the issue is at the time I must put up with - there's usually at least one thing that doesn't work correctly (or at all) - right now there are three!  One of these has a work-around so isn't that important, but the other 2 both seriously cripple the associated feature (reading plans and notes)!  That's really poor and makes the software very frustrating to work with and much less usable.  I understand bugs occur, but really after 4 months this one should have already been addressed (in fact, never should have made it into the production version)!

I really do love so much about this software, it is great in so many ways and I have come to rely upon it for many years now.  I just hope the company will not allow these issues to ruin it. I look forward to the day when I can once again whole hardheartedly recommend it (I sincerely hope that day will come)! 

Thank you for taking the time to read this and consider my input. 

Ok, thanks for passing this on.  I do hope someone will actually listen, so you guys won't allow a multitude of 'small' (yet frustrating) bugs to ruin an otherwise fantastic product.  Looking forward to the day these issues are fixed!
