The colors when you hilight are different now they are paler

I noticed that too, but I actually preferred the more vivid blue, green and purple. Oh well. 🤷🏼‍♂️

Neither one works really well in the "reverse-mode" with white print on a black background.  Not even with Ipad's "Smart-Invert".

 

I keep hoping for underlining.

I love the new fonts and layouts, especially in the study pane.  Makes things so much easier to read. I like that the highlighting colors are tinted lighter too.

The day's text is now italicised. That reminds me of the old printed day's...

“See the Good Land” in English in JW Library just got an update to include maps. This update has previously been available in some other languages.

Very nice! I hope it’ll be available in Spanish soon.

I especially like now that when you make a note in a pubication (like the Watchtower or the Pure Worship Book) the paragraph number you made the note in is above the note in big numbers in the study pane now.  Really makes it easy to find your notes in the study pane without having to click on the correct icon for it in the actual article you made the note in.

Question:
Is there way to print a note(s) created in JWLibrary app?

Thank you. 

This are very good news.

I am a map Enthusiast.

 

I like viewing maps to imagine how the people walked the region.

The only way I can think of is to do a 'screen capture' and print that out like you would a photo. It would be nice if you could go to the personal study tab and find the note and they had "print" in the 3 dot menu but all they have is "delete".

Copy, paste and save the text in a document

Copy, paste and save the text in a document

agreed, but tedious

Highlight the wanted text, Print, Selection, Print?

I wish there was a way to add more bookmarks to the Study Bible.  10 doesn't cut it!

 

I remember in my physical Bible I'd have certain scriptures written on the blank pages that were found at the very front and at the very back.  I must have had more than 50 scriptures written there!  

 

Is there anywhere we can suggest ideas to the development team?  Or would it be just in our review on the App Store?  I have a feeling those reviews don't get read very often, only because there are so many of them. . .

 

Unless you only give it 3 or 4 stars.  That might grab their attention.  But I'd hate to do that!

Study Bible updated, now includes study notes on Philippians & Colossians.

 

[Dandelion]

I don't know if this is new or if I just haven't noticed it before.  On the Android update there are now two views which you can change between in the Study Bible's Outline of Contents, and when you swipe left and right it goes to the previous or next book of the Bible.

You can use the Tags feature to get around this. Add a note to a scripture, then add a tag and voila! You can add as many notes as you want & more importantly, keep them organized so you can find them easily. They are grouped in “personal study”

Cool find.

I use my iPad to read the bible or a hard copy bible.

On the iPad the Outline shows up on the side panel, but handy to know for smaller device.
