Version 2.6.1 Released
New Scripture Lookup Option!
Especially useful for the smaller screen of an iPhone this lookup option provides a quick way of accessing all Bible books at once and then selecting the chapter / verse. It is tightly integrated with the existing navigation scroller, so updating one updates the other. On the iPad it also offers the advantage of showing the full Bible Book name, instead of just the abbreviation.
Use the "Shake" Gesture
Especially useful on an iPhone / iPod Touch, you can now use the shake gesture to pop open the new Scripture lookup window - from wherever you are. So even if you are in the Briefcase reading an article, and you want to look up a scripture - just shake your device and Equipd will auto-switch to the Bible tab, and open the lookup screen. You can shake it again to hide the lookup screen as well.
Change the Bible Lookup Language
You can now change the language used to display the Bible Book names. It shows the abbreviation in the selected language in the scroller, and the full name in the new lookup screen on the iPad. It also uses this setting to control which language the current scripture uses in the black Title bar. See the screenshots below for examples.
