1. Many of these texts are in Latin, Greek that enables me search in the original language overcoming the limitations of the English language but also choice exercised by the translator.Love the app! However I've been having difficulties with Verbum app on my Android phone! Especially when I open a reference and takes up the whole page it won't allow me to go back not even on my back button on my phone! I have to set it up on landscape mode.. The app keeps crashing too!.. However I still do love the app!I would love it if it could open faster on my device because I'm waiting a good 30 seconds to a minute everytime as it is now.
2. Verbum is great but the mobile app can be buggy.It takes some time to learn how to navigate the resources, but it is expansive and provides many resources, like Catholic commemtary on scripture and other Bible translations as well as word meanings in the Greek or Latin, to help you understand the intended meaning of the passages.
3. Rather than the often clouded meanings which happen due to language translation barriers or our common use of words which have changed throughout cultural shifts.I like how I can view 2 Bible versions at the same time and compare the wording.
4. But the only problem I see, is that the downloaded books are saved in the cache folder within the app, so if I use the cleaning app of my phone, it deletes important files Verbum needs in order to work, so it renders it useless until you reinstall it.
5. I'll have to try other study apps before I pay for Verbum.The ability to search through nearly 3,000 books on different topics keeping the results separate, while taking notes is a unique and extraordinary experience.
6. I wanted an offline ESV Bible and was able to purchase it through Verbum and access it through the app.Very difficult for 1st time users.
7. Other than that,this is a really good app, runs well, and a fantastic resource well presented.Sometimes when I'm in my Bible, the book of the bible navigation doesn't show up.
8. I haven't investigated what else is available (for free or purchase) or the RSV commentary because I'm still stumbling with a free default translation that I'm familiar with.
9. Change Highlight Style throws an "Error" which then makes it impossible to use Change Highlight or Additional Styles as menu won't even pop up.
10. From the time I close the app until I reopen it I've forgotten how to open the bible to the verse I want to read.
11. Sometimes you can force a fix by changing to a most recent style, deleting that style again and hoping finally the Additional Styles will pop up.Great app.
