New Look, New Features on BibleReader 4.11 — Coming Soon to iPhone!
BibleReader 4.11 for iPhone will be released soon on iTunes. In it, you’ll find new and highly-requested features, along with a new look for many of BibleReader’s regular functions. Here’s what’s included in BibleReader 4.11 for iPhone:
Redesigned verse choose and menus. Enjoy the colorful new look and textures of the new menu and verse chooser!
Verse highlighting with custom highlighter. You pick the color and style of highlighting. Touch a verse number and pick Highlight Verse from the menu. You’ll see a list of color choices to pick from. Want to add a new highlighter? Touch "More" on the highlighter menu and "Add Highlighter." You can pick a new color from the palette and adjust the style, choosing light or dark, thick or thin. You can create custom underlining and even overlap highlighting styles.
Daily Reading. With our new daily reading feature, you can choose and name a reading plan, or read from multiple plans at once. The first time you visit Reading Plans from the Main Menu, you’ll get to choose a plan. Every day has assigned readings that you can check off when you’re finished. The "Continue Reading" button takes you automatically to the next assigned reading in your plan, and the progress bar tracks how much you’ve read. Use Daily Reading plans to organize your scripture reading!
Chinese. BibleReader 4.11 includes support for Chinese fonts. Olive Tree currently offers one Bible in traditional characters, but as our catalog of Chinese resources grows, you’ll be able to read both traditional and simplified resources.
Simple search. With our redesigned search function, you can quickly choose the search parameters you want without the distraction of too many buttons. Looking for advanced options like Greek and Hebrew keyboards, phrase searches, or wildcard searches? Touch More for all the search and sorting options you desire!
Bug fixes and performance improvement. You’ll find that BibleReader starts faster and has more responsive controls. The 4.11 update also includes numerous bug fixes.
This update has been submitted to Apple and will be available on iTunes soon!

An outstanding upgrade! Suggestion: can you add the reading plan at
http://www.oneyearbibleonline.com
I like that it not only goes through the OT and NT, but a psalm every day and several VERSES from Proverbs, not a whole Chapter… Much more effective to meditate on!
Keep up the great work!

This 4.11 upgrade is excellent – the verse chooser is a big improvement and so fast too.
One problem. My Highlighter menu has no ERASE option, unlike you’re screen shot above. How do I remove highlighter or get the ERASE button to appear?

Very disappointed with this version. For those who don’t use the default brown color scheme, the new brown panels look terrible… very!!
The new verse choose is just terrible. Sorry. I don’t mean to be rude, but it is such a huge step backwards. Smaller buttons? For what reason? Bizarre! I use BibleReader heavily and these changes are a big irritation and inconvenience.
Please give us the ability to get rid of all the new colours and textures, and to configure the button bar for ourselves.
Till now I have loved this software. If these (and many other new issues) haven’t been resolved by the next version, I’m going to take it as a sign to part ways.
Thanks

Barrie: To remove a highlight follow these steps:
1) Click on the highlighted verse to pull up the menu
2) Click highlight verse
3) The menu should rotate and give you the option to remove the highlight.
Please contact our support department if you need further assistance.
Jools: We’re sorry you dislike our new changes. We will take your comments into account for our next version. Thanks for using BibleReader.

I think the new improvements are great, jools is out of his mind. I recently took the survey you sent out by email and one question you asked was, what reference you would like to see on Olivetree and that would be Spiros Zohiates’ Key word studies of OT and NT. Thanks for all your great work, I am really excited about using your software on the IPad platform.

Great work work guys. I have posted a bit of a review on my website here:
http://manawatu.christian-apologetics.org/olive-tree-bible-software-for-the-iphone-and-ipod-touch/
There more I use the ESV study Bible, the more I would like better integration between the maps and concordance rather than having to access them via the menus. Or perhaps I am still learning the finer points?!
Best regards,
Rob
