Almost there. Great content and layout. Tech issues: When I scroll further down to see a following Bible chapter, it'll always skip an entire chapter. The app is quite janky and slow using Android 14, 8 GB Ram, 2.2 GHz CPU, esp. handeling podcasts and connected animations while trying to read along in the Bible section while listening. I do maintenance and restart my phone regularly. Thanks and God bless!

The app is okay, it needs some help. It almost always lags when you want to pause a podcast or rewind or anything like that. It doesn't have an option to continue playing the next episode automatically without manually starting it. Sometimes it will randomly start playing the next episode but it's a glitch and it stops eventually. I only use the free version for Bible in a year, I'm almost done with that and I will be switching to Hallow for my next listen and for Catechism in a year.

ASCENSION TEAM: Can you please put the search feature back to how it was before? Or at least allow me to search in just THE BIBLE or just THE CATECHISM. At least you're still able to search for words in verses in the Bible (even thought the screen is cluttered and it's way less usable), but you can't even functionally search Catechism anymore. Before you could search and it would bringyou to individual paragraphs. Not anymore. Also, allowing Bible chapter audio downloads was a great addition👌

You're totally right, we are assigning a developer to focus solely on this for the next 10 days. You should see a huge improvement before a month passes.
