    Also the same thing happens in Colossians 1:4 with the hyphen. Can't fill in word blank or type out beyond it. 

    Thanks! Love the app!

    Jeff, thanks for the heads up. The last update conflicted with some changes that Apple made to iOS right at the same time. Were working to sort them out and get everything back into top shape.

    Also Galatians 2:4 in ESV. I didn't used to have this problem with these verses, but now it's there.

    Romans 5:12 in the ESV has the same issue.
