You can also listen on the go, anywhere you have an active Internet connection.

-If the audio player is open, tapping on the icon again will close the audio player. Audio will stop playing if the player is closed.

-If the audio player and the home screen are in different locations of your Bible, sync them up by tapping the sync button in the audio player (to change the page on the home screen to match the location of the audio player) or by closing and re-opening the audio player (to sync the audio player to the location of the home screen).

(2) We've added more options for managing your reading plans directly in the reading plan interface instead of having to navigate through settings. Add a new plan, adjust the dates or notification settings, pause or cancel active plans, and more all with a tap or swipe from the main reading plan page.


(3) We've also squashed some bugs and added more flexibility to adjusting the text size in the app through either your device settings or the app settings. Find the right text size for you and enjoy Filament your way.
