DAILY READER:
BIBLE READING MADE EASY
Laridian
offers a variety of devotional titles for use with DailyReader. This engine is only US$9.90 - a great deal.
It can be used with Mybible4 as the passages are hyper-linked and are called to screen with one tap of the stylus. For example, if you are doing your reading for the day (as per screen above), just tap on the passages then return to the next passage. Really nice.
The entire user graphic interface is very clean and easy to use. In fact I find it a little too simplistic and look forward to more features in future. For example, a table of contents would be useful, instead of just a front page overall especially for modules like Bibl;e History and Hymnals. However, as a Daily Bible Reader, it is more than adequate.
The menu bar starts with the all too obvious Daily Reader name. It would be nice if you are using a module, eg My Utmost for His Highest, to have MUFHH instead, especially if you have more than just one module. Then there are the left and right arrows to point to previous or coming day's reading. There is a box you can check when you completed the day's reading, to help you keep track. Then there is the RBF options which take you to the Reading, Bible passage or the Front (preface) page. Nice and simple.
But that's not all. You can catch up with unread readings when you are too busy or undisciplined to adhere to the schedule. If you need a daily reminder eg 9am, this niffty little program will do it for you. It is just the thing to help anyone get started on a daily bible reading scheme: pop open the program, tap to read and mark to record log of progress. No need to turn pages, search for the day's reading or even open the bible.
Beside daily bible readings, the Daily Reader also runs the following modules below (also US$9.90 each - last 3 are free):
- By Faith Alone: Devotional readings from the writings of Martin Luther.
