Notes for Alpha testers

Plus is on by default (1.9.19)

• Fresh installs get Plus activated automatically (no Preview tap needed).
• You can still Return to Free via the lock control on the Plus screen; Preview unlocks again.

Watch explanation — Between the Verses longs (1.9.20+)

• On chapters with a published long (John 4, Psalm 23, Luke 15), a Watch explanation row opens the YouTube long.
• Remote map: https://joshdalessio.com/btv-longs.json. In-app seed covers the same chapters if the URL is briefly unavailable.

Study questions (1.9.22)

• Study sheets no longer reuse two fixed discussion questions. In-depth passages have custom follow-ups; other passages get reference-based fallbacks.

Text highlights (1.9.22–23)

• Select words in a verse → Highlight · Copy · Clear bar. Marks can cover a phrase or the whole verse.
• More → Appearance switches Dark / Light; highlights stay readable in both.

Partial Copy ellipsis (1.9.24)

• When Copy takes only part of a verse, the clipboard text adds … before and/or after so a paste is not mistaken for the full verse.

Leader Guide search (1.9.25)

• On What is the group in? (Lead → In-depth studies, or Home → Study notes): copy reads Pick or search for a passage the way you would for study night.
• An inline Search field sits under the title, above the situational list.

Open / queued

Queued Verse of the Day → chapter

• Opening VOTD should land in the chapter reader more cleanly.

Queued In-app update prompt

• A gentle prompt when a newer Alpha is on Play.

Live Cloudflare remote map

• https://joshdalessio.com/btv-longs.json is live (john.4, psalm.23, luke.15) as of this Oct 2, 2026 deploy. Worth a quick check after future Pages deploys.

Open iOS / TestFlight

• Apple Developer is active. External TestFlight is in progress / Waiting for Review — no firm date yet.
• Current testing is Google Play closed Alpha (Android).

Fixed recently

Fixed in 1.9.18 Status bar overlaps Home header

Clock and status icons no longer draw over “AFTER THE VERSE” / Search. Safe-area padding applies on Home and other screens with top chrome.

Fixed in 1.9.18 Narrow layout on tablets

Content uses more horizontal space on large screens (first pass). Two-pane Read is still later.

Fixed in 1.9.17 Back swipe exited the app

On 1.9.16, swipe-back could leave the app instead of going back inside it. Fixed in 1.9.17.

Fixed in 1.9.17 Between the Verses hard to find

The YouTube link is now the first row in More.
