The Sanctumel Bible holds 15 versions in 15 languages, from Lingala to Yoruba by way of Russian and Swahili. The version offered by default is the one matching your church's language.
Choosing where to read
Tap a book: its grid of chapters unfolds where you just tapped, and tapping again closes it. The number of chapters is computed from the verses actually present, never from a copied table: a partially imported book announces what it holds.
Setting your comfort
Four settings, in the reader bar, and they are remembered from one time to the next:
- text size, five steps;
- line height, three steps;
- the mood: sepia, light or dark;
- focus, which takes the page full screen.
Tip: these settings are the same in all three readers. Choosing sepia and a large size once applies to the Bible, the Message and the songs.
Keeping a passage, not a verse
Tap a verse: it is taken. Tap a second one: everything between the two is taken with it.
That is how reading works. "John 3.14-16" is a thought; "John 3.16" alone is a piece of one.
The writing panel appears at the bottom of the page, sticky, and the passage stays visible while you write. You can save without writing a word: a highlight on its own is a note, and it is in fact the most common kind.
Switching language without losing your page
The version selector keeps the book and the chapter. Read in Lingala, check a turn of phrase in French, come back: the position holds, and both readings stay in your browser history.
Warning: the version is part of the note. Psalm 51 has 19 verses in the King James, 21 in Louis Segond and in Lingala, 11 in Russian. Without the version, "Ps 51.10" reread elsewhere points to a different verse, with nothing to announce it. That is why the module refuses to save a Bible note without one.
