Summary verses screen Merged

I fully plan on purchasing NIV and NASB and NLT. I memorize verses in these three additional to ESV depending on the readability of the verse in whichever translation. So, I've memorized mainly in NIV, but I have memorized many in ESV, NLT, and NASB as well. I understand your current design is that you can only access one translation at a time and the design is sleek. But I'm wondering if you can write in some code that would allow for a summary screen, or "all verses" screen, that would gather all verses the user has been working on in various translations into one main screen that acts the same way the other main screens work. Then, someone like me, from one screen, could go through all his verses without skipping around to different translations. It would add even just the slightest bit of convenience for accessing the verses I'm workin on. But, if someone wanted to add a verse, they'd have to go to that translation screen and add it there. But then go back to the all verses screen and see it there too. 

confict: "what if someone has memorized the same verse in two different translations? It wouldn't work in the all verses menu if it was formatted like all the rest." Then maybe the user can choose a default translation, and if the all verses menu detects multiple translation for the same verse then it picks the default.

    Will,

    First of all, thank you for using Verses and supporting our work with your purchase. It is much appreciated.

    This is a solid solution to the multi-translation scenario. Not very many of our users memorize in multiple translations at once, but now that we've added 4 more translations we expect that to start changing. You're correct that there are some technical challenges to displaying more than one translation at once (particularly as it relates to calculate your progress in learning each book/chapter/verse - it would require some significant rewriting to calculate progress and health across multiple translations).

    However, a summary screen that shows passages in progress across multiple translations and then lets you jump straight to working on a passage in a particular translation (or jump to that translation) could be a clean/effective solution.

    I've added this to our idea list for serious consideration. Thank you for taking the time to share your thoughts!
