Hi,
First off, I absolutely LOVE this app; I hardly ever take the time to rate apps in the App Store, but I have gone out of my way to give this 5 stars and have recommended it on social media. I love the beautiful, functional design and the powerful, flexible memory tools. This app is revolutionizing my memorization practices and "redeeming the time" I waste on my phone.
I'd like to make one suggestion for a future update. Right now, the default for the main screen is to see an expandable list of your most recent 3 passages, and all the books of the Bible. I'd rather have it the other way around; I'd rather see all my verses and an expandable list of books of the Bible. At least make it an option to change in the settings. I love seeing my progress toward memorizing entire books of the Bible; the layout itself is a great motivation toward that. But seeing every book of the Bible all at once is overwhelming and difficult to navigate. It's a poor design choice in an overall beautifully and thoughtfully designed app.
Hopefully that is something that can be incorporated into future versions.
Thank you for the work you're doing-- keep it up!
In His peace,
Brendan Beale

Brendan, that's a solid suggestion, though I'm sorry to hear that our original design was a poor design choice. Thank you for taking the time to contact us!
We definitely worked hard on the design of the home screen to make it as wholly useful as possible. We had many internal debates on the idea of including the whole Bible up front and, for the first release, decided to include it. We're actually toying around with some possibilities for a different home screen layout. What do you think of this?
If you tap or swipe the bottom bar the Bible would come up and you could select a Verse. That bar would be available in the Collections view and the My Verses view as well.
Please let us know what you think! We're committed to making Verses as useful as possible and would love to have you join the conversation as we make it better!
