Martin,
The new grid selection is awesome+++++++++.
I loaded a new OS on the phone and the verse changes when I scroll now. ;)

Tap the title and up pops the navigation grid.

When I listen to a sermon I usually go directly to a verse. My vote is to
add an additional grid for the verse selection. So +1 to the above. I
would want this done with the fewest taps as possible, I think no more than
4 taps. 1. to open grid 2, 3, & 4 to select book, chapter, and verse.
