Interesting. Will try it out too.

Some good suggestions here but I think it would be difficult to implement a ‘merge highlights/notes’ feature. All sorts of clashes would be possible.

 

Regarding disturbing meetings:

An elder recounted how his phone went off (Star Trek ringtone!) just as the prayer was about to start. He handed the phone to his daughter and said “Quick!!!” She ran out with it in a panic.

 

My iPhone will still give audio alarms that have been set even with the phone on silent and Do Not Disturb activated. I suppose this is expected behaviour.

So, she was a device transporter...

Apple actually makes it pretty simple ( don’t know about other OS ) to sync note systems. I use a couple such as Bear, GoodNotes and even Apple’s built in notes allow for syncing across multiple devices. iBooks also allows instant cross-device syncing of highlights and notes in .epub files. Syncing data through iCloud is a pretty common app function.

Br. Steven, I think the main problem is many of us do not use just ONE operating system on all of our devices.  We might have an Android cell-phone, a Windows desktop PC and an Apple tablet.  The problem grows when our different devices have different apps for tasks (like note-taking).

This is true of iOS and macOS as well. Which is why it always grabs me that the Brothers use such simple iOS version numbers.

 

As an example the iOS version of Google Chrome is 62.0.3202.70.

 

 

It's optional. 
For instance, Apple released apps with simple version numbers (macOS High Sierra version is 10.13.1). They are the good example to do the same.

Steven, I'm with you on this one. 
It's pretty easy to implement. However, I guess, maybe there were some architecture issues or that feature is developing now. I suppose, the second one

That’s very useful. Along with little diamonds/gems for books with Study material available.(The gospels so far.)

We have Appendix C. The Index has 2 categories instead of 4.

 

Very nice update!

[digital_dreamer]

w00t! This is great!

 

I see there is an option to switch from Study pane to translations pane in pop-up menu.

(For some reason I can’t post an image from my Dropbox account.)

 

Although the non-Study Edition is removed from the translations pane, it is still listed as one of the translations downloaded. Is it safe to delete it or is it being used for the Study Edition? Anyone know?

 

Edit:

There appears to be a bug in Appendix C2 and C3. All references to verses to “Where the Name Jehovah” appears and does not appear in “Direct or Indirect Quotations” are null. In programming parlance, nothing is there — blank.

My iPad didn’t update immediately either.

Since this is a very recently released update, you’ll have to force the iPad to check for the update.

Go in the App Store, select Updates from bottom menu. Then, drag entire screen down to force a check. Should take a few seconds.

 

Regarding the Appendix bugs: I see that any references to other Appendixes are also null.

Mine works on my Android tablet. Check to see if the Study Bible has an update.

[Thesauron]

Another new feature is the the Bible homepage now indicates which bible books have audio recordings. Books with study notes are indicated with a diamond. When you open he study bible, an icon will indicate that you can close the study pane, and a diamond icon that you can open the study pane.

 

Also, I wonder how many will accidentally click start the videos on the study note pane during meetings.
