Version 3.5 Update: Enhanced Study Tools for Bible App for iPhone, iPad, iPod touch

The newest release of the Bible App™ for iOS (iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch) has all-new additions like inline study tools, as well as helpful upgrades like more robust search, more information connecting with Facebook, and Technical Support at your fingertips. In addition, we addressed several functional issues that you, the YouVersion community, reported to us.

Study and Translation Notes. Wherever translation and study notes are available, you can view them directly within the context of the passages they refer to. (You can turn them off just as easily.) Check out Psalm 119 in the New Living Translation (NLT) or in the King James Version (KJV) to see examples.
Improved Search. When you search the Bible, now you can limit where you’re looking. For example, you can search in just the Old or New Testament, in a range of books, or even within a single book! You can also sort your results—such as displaying them in book order—making it easier to quickly find what you’re looking for. (For now, enhanced search is available only on iPhone and iPod touch.)
Facebook Signup. You could already quickly sign up for your free YouVersion account using Facebook. But now, this handy feature displays even more useful information—even your Facebook profile picture!
Help. Another step in making Technical Support always-on, always available, we added direct access to Help straight from the Dashboard Launcher.

Of course, we try to take advantage of every release to repair known bugs and to tweak the Bible App’s performance. You can update your Bible App to version 3.5, available right now in the iTunes App Store. Simply follow the instructions below to get yours.

Tell your friends! If you haven’t talked to your friends about the Bible App, a new update like this can be a great conversation starter. You can show them your favorite new features on your device, then maybe even offer to help them install it on theirs. Sharing is fun! Come let your friends in the YouVersion community on Facebook and Twitter know what you’re reading, and how God’s Word is speaking to you.

Bible App for iPhone, iPad, iPod touch: New Features Debut, Others Improved

Version 3.4 of the Bible App™ for iOS (iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch) introduces some exciting, brand new features, as well as enhancements to existing tools. You can update yours right now in the iTunes App Store! (You can learn how at the end of this post.)

All-New Features:

When you’re listening to audio Bibles, now volume control displays on the screen, right where you’re already listening. We’ve also added a button for AirPlay, which lets you listen through speakers you’ve set up on your wireless network. (AirPlay requires Apple TV.)
For the first time ever, if you’ve downloaded offline Bibles to your iOS device, the Bible App lets you know when one of them has been updated. So now you can always maintain the most current version of every translation—even in those times you don’t have access to the Internet.
The Bible App now takes advantage of Apple’s great built-in VoiceOver features, using sounds to make it easier for visually impaired people to engage with Scripture.

Updates:

YouVersion Live is easier than ever, with an updated interface designed specifically to help you quickly find Live events close to where you are.
The Bible App’s connection to Twitter is streamlined, making it even easier for you to connect your free YouVersion account to share with your social media followers.
Each time YouVersion introduces a new update, we try to take that opportunity to bundle standard bug fixes and performance enhancements to save you time.

Please help us get the word out. If you have friends with Apple devices, a new release of the Bible App represents a great opportunity to share YouVersion with them. Please consider helping friends new to iOS install the Bible App from the iTunes App Store. And remember: The YouVersion community on Facebook and Twitter loves hearing your stories about spreading the Bible App!

Updated Bible App for iPhone and iPod touch: All-New Highlights, Expanded Bookmarks

If you haven’t heard, the Bible App™ for iPhone and iPod touch recently got a comprehensive update. Version 3.3 is available immediately in the iTunes App Store. Over the last few days, we’ve been sharing tips with you on how you can take full advantage of many of the Bible App’s new features, including the updated Bible Reader and Sign in, Sign up and Support. Today we’ll introduce highlights for the first time, and we’ll show you your expanded bookmarking options.

Highlights. Now, if you like, you can bring some of your favorite features from paper Bibles to your personal Bible App account. (Instructions for how to highlight are in the next section below.)
- New Bible readers. Highlights are a great way you can mark verses you enjoy, or that speak to you in special ways, so you can easily spot them later.
- Experienced Bible readers. If you’ve been highlighting in your Bible for years, you’ll realize quickly that Bible App highlights work pretty much just as you’d expect.
Sync Your Highlights. When you add a highlight in the Bible App on any device, you’ll see your highlight on any YouVersion platform that supports that feature.

To add a highlight:

Tap a verse (or more than one) to select it.
Bottom right: Tap the sharing icon that appears.
Tap the color you want your highlight to be.
OR
Tap the rainbow to select a custom color:
- Drag the color picker icon to select your color.
- Lighter/Darker: Slide the shading bar.
- Bottom: A sample of your color displays.
- Tap Choose.

To remove a highlight:

Tap the highlighted verse(s) whose highlights you want to remove.
Bottom right: Tap the sharing icon that appears.
Tap the bright red ‘X’ selection.

Advanced Bookmark Options in the Bible App™

Bookmarks. For the first time in the Bible App, now you can bookmark multiple verses at a time. Here’s how it works:

Tap the verse(s) you want to bookmark.
Bottom right: Tap the sharing icon that appears.
Tap Bookmark.
Optional: If you selected more verses than you intended to bookmark, tap the list and remove the ones you want to.
Optional: Select a highlight color.
Optional: Name your bookmark with a title.
Optional: Add a label(s) to your bookmark to categorize it for faster future reference (like Counseling, Encouragement, Fundamentals, etc.).

Use bookmarks to label verses you want to share with friends, to enhance your own personal studies, or however you want. The possibilities are truly only limited by your imagination and creativity.

At YouVersion, our simple mission is always the same: to make it as easy as possible for people to freely engage with the Bible, no matter where they live. It is this vision that drives the features and functions we add to the Bible App. If you’re not already, we hope you’ll consider using the Bible App to connect to the Bible every day. And if you do: Thanks! Please also share with your friends how fulfilling it can be to engage with God’s Word–anytime, anyplace.
