Q. I cannot download a translation, what am I doing wrong?
A. Please make sure you have a good connection before you get started. WiFi is best but if that isn't available, it's best to make sure you have at least 3-4 bars before attempting the download.
It is also possible you will have better luck if you device is plugged in to a charger.
Doing a Battery Pull or Hard Reset could help too.
See download Tips on the download page for more information.
Q. Why does SBP download so much data?
A. The amount of data downloaded by Simple Bible Pro, per translation, is more than double the data used for the same translation in Simple Bible. This is because we are downloading an advanced database that has been built over many years by the programmers at Laridian. This allows us to incorporate many advanced features in the most efficient way possible. To make matters worse, our initial testing shows that download times are even longer on the Touchpad.
Q. How do I delete a translation?
A. To delete a translation, you just swipe it off the list with a left to right motion and then press delete.
Q. How can I Navigate using the Keyboard?
A. If you have a device without a physical keyboard, you start by hitting the search Icon on the bottom of your screen. If you have a physical keyboard, then you may just start typing. Here is a list of the different items you can navigate to and some examples of how you might use them:

- BookName - "Matthew" or "Matt" will jump to Matthew 1:1. "Zec" or "Zach" or "Zechariah" will jump to Zechariah 1:1
- BookName & Chapter - "Genesis 5" or "Ge 5" will jump to Genesis 5
- Verse in the current Book and chapter - "5" jumps to verse 5. "23" jumps to verse 23.
- Chapter and Verse in the current Book - "3:16" or "3 16" or "3,16" will all jump to Chapter 3 verse 16 of the current Book.
- Book, Chapter and Verse - All it all together "Romans 3:23" or "Rom 3 23" or "Ro,3,23" will all take you to Romans 3:23.

All entries will be checked before navigating to them. If you type a Chapter or Verse that do not exist in the current Translation SBPro won't attempt to navigate. If you try to navigate to something that doesn't appear to meet the above formats Simple Bible Pro will assume you are attempting a search and it will open the full search dialog.
Q. When I search for Matthew, I end up jumping to Chapter and Verse 1:1 of a Matthew. How can I search for a word that is similar to a book title?
A. Use "Search" on the Application menu. The App menu can be found in the top left hand corner of Simple Bible Pro.
Q. Will Simple Bible Pro support any Non-Bible books from Laridian such as concordance, dictionaries, study guids and devotionals?
A. Not at this time. We do plan to add other book types. We don't yet have an estimation as to when we will add this ability.
Q. Will you be adding more features to Simple Bible Pro?
A. There are several items on our list of features we would like to add. Here is a short list of the items with the highest priority:

- Faster Downloads
- Synchronizing Notes, Highlights and Bookmarks with Laridian's user Database
- Searching or launching to a passage with Just Type
- Exhibition Mode support

We will continue to support Simple Bible Pro 1.x. Primarily, this will be in the form of Bug Fixes. However, at this time, we cannot commit to the implementation of any of these features in Simple Bible Pro 1.x. We would like to add them but it's just a matter of time. As it now stands the bulk of our efforts are going to porting both Simple Bible and Simple Bible Pro over to Enyo (webOS's new dev platform) so that our apps will continue to work on future devices. If time permits, we will add as many additional features to Simple Bible Pro as we can with the highest priority being given to the items on the above list.
Q. What is the Apocrypha?
A. Merriam-Webster defines Apocrypha as: books included in the Septuagint and Vulgate but excluded from the Jewish and Protestant canons of the Old Testament. Since starting work on Simple Bible, I have found that the Apocrypha are some Books included in some Bible Translations. Those translations are popular in certain denominations. I could write paragraphs about their purpose and use, but this is not really the place for that.
Q. Why can I not highlight just a word or phrase rather than a whole verse at a time?
A. The short answer is this. It is done this way so that highlights will be consistent from one translation of the bible to the next. Trying to highlight just one word can be tricky. For instance, if you highlight one word in the KJV translation, there is no guarantee that word will be in the same spot in that verse or even in the verse at all in the NIV, NLT, ASV etc.
