I installed it successfully on my Sony Erickson (Android 4.1, I
think). I discovered I had to enable installation of non-marketplace
apps. After that it was easy, though the first screen was a little
confusing. I eventually worked out that I needed to tap on the upper
right corner, but enabling the right button to open the menu might
help that. I have no idea how standard that is on Android phones,
but I have always felt it was an advantage over the iOS devices,
which have only one button. <br>
<br>
The interface looks good. I like the continuous scrolling a lot! The
idea of multiple windows is unusual for a mobile device, but I like
the concept a lot since I often switch between languages. It would
be nice if you could swipe left or right to switch between windows.
<br>
<br>
I did encounter a couple of problems. Every time I open the
Bookshelf Manager, the screen is garbled. When I pull on it a
little, the screen repaints and is clear. The other thing I noticed
is that feedback when I tap on things is delayed significantly. I do
not know if that is because my phone is old (late 2011), but I found
myself pressing buttons multiple times. <br>
<br>
Related to languages, I hope you enable add the ability to change
fonts to enable reading in Greek and other languages. I have not
checked on Hebrew yet, but Greek is missing characters, I think. <br>
<br>
Overall a fantastic beginning!<br>
<br>

I have been working on a alternate frontend for BibleTime that
works well on Android phones and tablets. It is called BibleTime
Mobile. Some features are:<br>
<ul>
<li> Open Bible, Book, Commentary, Cult, Daily Devotional, and
Glossary windows </li>
<li> Scroll through the entire document continuously. </li>
<li> You can open multiple windows and set the window
arrangement mode to either single, tabbed, or splitting the
view horizontally, vertically, or both. </li>
<li> Adjust the font size of user interface text while looking
at UI elements as they change. </li>
<li> Adjust the font size of document text while looking at at
the document. </li>
<li> Install works from any of several internet sources. </li>
<li> Saves state of windows when you quit and restores them when
starting. </li>
<li>Search multiple works at once. </li>
<li> Internationalization is ready but no translations have been
done. </li>
</ul>
I would like to get some feedback about it. If you have a android
phone or tablet version 3.0 or higher, it should run. I have done
all my testing with a Nexus 5 phone and Nexus 7 tablet with
android version 4.4.<br>
<br>
To install it:<br>
1. Change your Settings, Security, Unknown Sources to allow
unknown sources.<br>
2. Download the apk file from <a moz-do-not-send="true" class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://sourcearchives.com/bt/bibletimemobile.apk">http://sourcearchives.com/bt/bibletimemobile.apk</a><br>
3. Using a file explorer, select the bibletimemobile.apk file. It
should ask if you want to install. Say yes.<br>
<br>
Once you run it you will need to download some documents (works).
Part of what I want feedback about is how easy it is to figure out
what to do, so I won't give any details about that now.<br>
<br>
If you do try it, I would like your feedback, good or bad. Just
reply to this email.<br>
