Pocket Bible gets significant fix in 2.015
http://www.laridian.com/ce/catpocketbible.asp
Up until a week or so ago, Pocket Bible had been on version 2.011 since April, which is OK as the program is great. Well, except for one really annoying bug. If you hit View|Synchronize and then started moving around different Bibles and study guides, navigation using the blue Forward/Back arrows got trashed. The reason is when you used the Synchronize feature, Pocket Bible stored all of its movements in the history stack, so when you used the Back button, you would wind up in a book or version you hadn't even been in.
Well, 2.015 fixes that. They have been releasing minor updates for about a week now and 2.015 seems to fix the navigation problem as well as other minor bugs that popped up when they were stomping the larger bug. So if you have Pocket Bible and more than one or two books, you should download this update. Log into your account at their site using the Login and Download link on the menu, press download and the new version should appear as an item you haven't downloaded. If there is anything else under that section that has been updated since you last downloaded, go ahead and grab that too. You can read more about what was changed at their Revision History page.

Thanks
Thanks, Ed! I use PocketBible and DailyReader every day, both for personal and work use, so this update will come in handy. Thanks for mentioning it.

Pocket Bible, Daily Reader, and the other Laridian products are among the very best written pieces of software on the market. They are memory efficient, fast, and highly functional. I wish every other product line would emulate their attention to getting it right.

Ed,
Just curious...I notice you have the Life Application notes. I've been debating purchase of them. Do you find them helpful?

Life Application Bible is great
I have been using the Life Application Bible - hardcopy - for about a year and I absolutely love it. I've found that my Bible study and even Sunday School or Sermon listening is much more enriched with the constant commentary. When Laridian came out with it, I instantly purchased it. I Believe that they have all the notes in there, including the introductions to each Book, the tables, notes, everything. You can set them up to sychronize which is a bit tricky to get to work right, but it sounds like this fix might correct that. If you like the hardcopy, this is a must. I'm working up the nerve to just bringing this instead of my hardcopy version to Church one Sunday. My wife would probably not be happy... she thinks I'm too much of a geek as it is.

Very. I actually have New Unger's Bible Handbook and Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary and immediately Life Application Study Bible Notes. If I had to buy just one it would be the Life Application notes.
Now I see they have just released Life Application New Testament Commentary. :? They know I am a sucker for these commentaries. They help so much when in class or just studying.

I haven't taken a paper Bible to church in 2 years since getting Laridian's Pocket Bible. I used to get strange looks. Now I get "how did you look that up so fast." They are amazed when they find out I have the equivalent of about 100 pounds of reference material in my pocket.

I enjoy the Life Application Study Bible Notes too. This is a major reason I don't have to carry around the paper version-- I have gotten so hooked on using it over the years as a reference. I'd be interested in any reviews of the latest Laridian PocketBible product, the Life Application New Testament Commentary.

Just got my e-mail about the Life Application New Testament Commentary this morning. Why do they have to do this to me! :^) My wallet can only be stretched so far. When I got my Jornada, I upgraded to the NASB with Strongs Numbers, Daily Reader, and Memorize (which I've not really used yet.)
I'll have to give the LA study notes a closer look. Thanks for the comments. I've also given thought to the New Unger's Bible Handbook and Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary, but that may be a bit down the road...this 128 Flash Card doesn't seem so big anymore. :^)

My two cents. Life Application Study Bible is the best all around. I really like the new NT Commentary so far, but it is just the New Testament, so if you can't have both, get the LAB. I like the LAB better than New Unger's and Matthews as well. I have all 4 (plus Unger's Dictionary, Naves and the Strong's concordance) so I don't have to choose, but if you only have room or money for one, I'd do a Bible version and then supplement with Life Application Study Bible.
