[sword-devel] Universal Windows Platform

[Michael O'Neill]

The app I was referring is 'MySword' - I can only question the credibility because of the credits listed on their website.
 
I probably should have kept that part of my original post out, my intention was not to raise suspicion, or draw attention to that issue. 
 
I knew there is no tie to CrossWire after reading the 'about us' at CrossWire. Additionally CrossWire sounds like a ministry, and not a way to generate funds, or self-promotion, but rather a way to reach the lost, and provide tools for the saints. I am familiar with Wycliffe, and have visited their facility in Orlando. 
 
I really wanted to explore the possibility of a windows tablet app. I have not looked at the CrossWire android apps yet. I do believe that I need to do that. Then I can share thoughts on what a windows app.
 
Thanks everyone that responded.

And then there are a bunch of knock-offs of And Bible in Google Play which are advertisment addled and generally bad news. If you have been using these - I would concur re credibility  concerns. But that is not our doing.

Nevertheless, what about "credibility concerns"?

Mike,
 

I’m curious which Android app you are referring? What are the credibility concerns? (Our only offering for the Android platform is AndBible.)
 

In His Service,

Is anyone developing a Universal Windows Platform app?



I have used a bible reader app on an Android tablet that functionally works great as a 'reader', but the author/endorsements raise significant credibility concerns. Even if they offered something for a Windows tablet, I would not use it.



As a recent windows tablet convert (from Android), there is a need for a 'reader' app (not a desktop application) for simply having the ability to have a 'pocket' bible (or several).



I am a programming hobbyist, and would be interested in developing, or helping develop an Universal Windows Platform app for 8.1



For those wondering what the main 'needs' would include, the ability to render a text size determined by user, on a full screen, with easy navigation by book, chapter, and verse drop downs, and/or searching by "John 3:16" for example, offline.



Thanks.
