Pocket PC Features, Features, Features!!
This is such an exciting time at Olive Tree Bible Software for software feature lovers like me. We have been adding new features to most of our BibleReaders. The latest BibleReader we released in beta with new features is the Pocket PC BibleReader. I am so thrilled about our new Pocket PC features that I decided to switch to Pocket PC as my personal device.
We added full screen mode to the Pocket PC BibleReader. Full screen mode lets the BibleReader take control of the entire screen. When in full screen mode none of the precious little screen space is wasted on the toolbar and title bar. However, unless you have lots of shortcuts defined that you can remember, being in full screen mode by itself is only good for reading since it has no toolbar. So we added a collapsible secondary toolbar. The secondary toolbar is displayed when the BibleReader is in full screen mode (as well as when it is not in full screen mode). When you just want to read you can collapse the secondary toolbar to maximize the text on the screen. Then when you want to do more in-depth Bible study, take notes, add bookmarks, highlight, etc you can un-collapse the secondary toolbar. What is even better about the secondary toolbar is that you can customize it to have just the buttons you want on it. For example, if you do a lot of highlighting you can add a lot of highlighting buttons. You can even decide where you want the secondary toolbar to be placed. So if you make a lot of use of landscape mode you may want to put the secondary toolbar on the right hand side.
Another exciting feature that we added to the Pocket PC BibleReader is the bookmark popup. Accessing and adding bookmarks is now faster and easier! For those who have multiple bookmark files you can now quickly change the bookmark file from the bookmark popup. For example, this will let you easily switch between a set of bookmarks you may have created for sharing the gospel and your bookmarks from last Sunday’s sermon.
As if this wasn’t enough, we also added the navigation history to Pocket PC. Now you can pull up the history to see where you have been and quickly return to a passage you were previously reading.
You can download the latest Pocket PC reader here. I hope you are as excited about the Pocket PC BibleReader’s new features as I am!
