Problem with the latest update of Youversion bible app

By Yoo Jin, 14 July, 2018

Forum
iOS and iPadOS

Hello all. I just upgraded the Youversion bible app, and found out I can no longer access to the page where I can select or search the scripture. The read tab doesn't seem to be accessible with voiceover anymore. Has anybody had this issue? I am using the latest ios on iphone SE.

Problem and work-around

By Travis

On seeing your question, I opened the app and ran into the same problem. At first I feared it was not solvable. But, I went into one of my plans from the Plans tab instead of from the read tab to get anything from the Bible readable on my screen. After that, when I again used the read tab, the text was accessible and I could read it and navigate it like before. You may, until the problem is fixed, need to use this as a sort of work-around.

I also found the read tab to be inaccessible; but I haven't tried the workaround. However, I did go to the more tab and emailed support regarding this issue. Thanks for bringing this to my attention.

in re: Problem with the newest update of the YouVersion Bible Ap

For a while, yes, you were right! The Read Tab of the YouVersion Bible App was inaccessible via the double-tap on the Chapter, field! It brought up a continuous carrousel of Bible books! The only way to search for a passage was to double-tap the Search button at top left and type in John 3:16, for instance!
but now, though somewhat convoluted, there is a work around for accessing the Read Tab from the Chapter Button! Double-tap on Chapter! You are presented with a scroll of Bible books. Double-tap on the desired book, and usually, you will hear "chapter" announced. The chapters are listed in sequential order of every fifth one, interspersed with the book name every few times down the screen. For instance: Psalms 5, 10, 15, and so on, near the right portion of the screen. Flick left or right for next or previous chapter, left, from 15 to 14, or right to 16, 17 or 18. Double-tap on desired chapter; Usually, touching near the upper right corner of screen will result in "verse". Say, you're in Psalm 119. The verses work the same as the chapters. Both chapters and verses can use the three-finger scroll up or down. Double-tap on the desired verse; you should be in the Read Tab reading a passage of Scripture as before. Keep in mind, the operation is finicky, and sometimes doesn't't cooperate. Sometimes, I have to let the app land me in the wrong chapter, and use the Next and Previous Chapter buttons near the bottom of the screen, to get to exactly where I want. You can still use the Search button at the upper left corner to bring up an edit field where you can type in chapter and verse, or keyword.
Hope this helps!
Bible Plans are not affected! I do wish they would bring back the plain old list; but this work around seems to work!

I emailed the YouVersion Bible app support from the app and received a quick reply. They said that the inaccessibility of the read tab will be fixed very soon in the next update.

I have reported accessibility issues with them in the past, and they quickly responded. I'm sure it will be fixed soon.

Hi, chidovictor. Some of the bibles only work when online. That's particularly true of the audio versions.
