New in the WMPU software store – Laridian Pocket Bible 4

June 24, 2009 | By Surur

The venerable Pocket Bible software by Laridian has seen an update to version 4, and while nothing much has been done to improve the cosmetics of the software, many changes and improvements have taken place under the hood.

Available in both touch screen and non-touch screen versions, the software now features:

Maximize Windows – Open multiple windows/books. Maximize any window for full screen reading.

Flick Gestures while Maximized – Swipe across the screen to switch to another open book (commentaries will stay synchronized with the Bible text). Swipe up or down in a book to go to the previous or next page.

Auto-Scroll – Set a book to auto-scroll for easier reading. Increase or decrease the speed of scrolling to match your reading speed. Great for public or devotional reading.

View in All – View a verse in all Bibles. View a reference in all commentaries. View a word in all dictionaries. Parallel study has never been easier!

Enhanced Searching – Keep your last 20 searches and easily perform the search again. Find looks first for the exact word and then for words staring with your search entry. Search for words "near" other words.

Customizable Toolbars – Sixty different functions available to be included on your toolbar. Put the features you use most, literally, at your fingertip. Choose "Large icons" never use the stylus again!

Save/Restore Layouts – Keep different layouts always ready to go. One layout for your devotional reading, one for performing word studies, another for a study Bible. Any number of layouts customized for the ways that work best for you!

Synchronize Notes, Bookmarks and Highlights with PocketBible for Windows (sold separately) – Make a note on the go. Flesh it out on your PC when you’re back home or in the office. Highlights and bookmarks keep track of themselves.

So it’s a book reader… but it can only present “The Bible”?!

One app per text seems like an inefficient use of resources.

It’s a little more than a book reader. The Bible is actually 66 different books that have been translated from the original languages into several different english translations as well as other languages. This program allows you to view multiple english (or even other language) tranlations at the same time and will keep them in sync as you read. Within a single translation it allows cross reference between other books in the Bible on a particular topic. It also supports many different study notes that link from study topics to relevant verses.

That said, as a reader it needs an update. Pocket Bible 4 has been out for many months (if not a year or more – I don’t remember when I bought it). I find switching from the smooth scrolling in WM6.5 windows, IE/Opera to the Pocket Bible a disappointment. Hopefully, They’ll release a 4.5 or 5.0 update soon to add smooth, finger friendly text scrolling. Overall, it’s a very nice program.
