[sword-devel] iOS Testing - Bishop

[Troy A. Griffitts]

Learning about TestFlight. Apple just approved testing of 1.2.6 and apparently it is available from the same link:

https://testflight.apple.com/join/5IpRivsN

Please let us know how the new HTML display widget looks and functions  Specifically, is there any blank white screens until tap, and does the focus verse update highlighting during scrolling or do you still have to wait for the momentum scroll to slowly come to a complete halt before the current verse highlight is updated.

Thank you!

Troy
