Maximize the reading area in one pane

  1. Choose one pane from Pane Layout.
  2. The Bible-only book/chapter row is hidden for this book, leaving more vertical reading space.
  3. In the default Continuous mode, the text flows without printed-page line breaks or verse numbers.
  4. Switch to Original only when you need to compare printed page numbers and boundaries.
Image of God in maximized one-pane Continuous view
One-pane book view removes Bible-only controls and uses the available height.
Improvement in the public iOS 1.20 release (build 248): Continuous mode reads across printed-page boundaries, while the page indicator, bookmark, speech, and switch to Original mode use the current position where scrolling settles. This improvement is available in the current App Store release.
Book updates in iOS 1.20 build 248 and later: Body text, chapter and section headings, quotations, and paragraph structure are rendered from the server book data, so later book corrections do not require another App Store submission. Systematic numbered explanations place each item on a new indented line and bold the number or ordinal lead. In the default Continuous view, pull the page down and release it to check for the latest revision. A validated revision is saved before it appears. If the connection or update fails, the saved copy remains available.
After the first activation: The book and its reading authorization remain on this device for offline reading. Notes, bookmarks, and highlights use the Bible reader’s shared saved-item system.
