Love the split screen - need option to open strongs result or search result in other screen
Love the split screen, here's a couple of suggestions:
- When clicking on a strong's number, ref, etc., it would be great to be able to see the definition on the other screen (maybe as a long-press option?).
Also, when searching, it'd be great to be able to look at a result list on one screen, and open quotes off that list on the other screen (a long-press/menu option again?).
Also next to the great "minimise" button, another button to link-unlink the split screen.
Thanks for your fantastic work on constantly improving the best free bible app! Thank you!

I currently read the ESV on the top of the split and the KJV with strong in the bottom. So for me, I just click the strong # on the bottom and poof, strong result shows on the bottom screen. This is a good work-around.

The split screen is a great idea but i rarely ever use it. But a couple of really simple (I think) changes would make it perfect (for me).
1. My most used commentary is the TSK (let the Bible interpret itself). The dual panel would be perfect for this IF it *didnt* jump to the actual verse in the TSK panel.
If I have two panels open and one of those panels is a Bible then clicking on a reference link should display the verse in bible panel *only*. The TSK panel should not change to the bible document because then you lose the TSK document you are working through and have to change back to it again.
Of course, if the panels are set to 'Linked' then the TSK would change to display the references for the new verse you just clicked on. That is fine, but see next point....
2. Allow a long press on the semi-transparent split screen display button to jump straight to the Split Screen menu. This would allow easy changing of Linked to Not Linked to Single Screen.
I would use this to allow me to work through *all* the TSK references for the current verse. Then when i am finished i could change to linked again and start working through another verse. If it is linked then it is always necessary to push the back button to get back to the verse you are studying. Unlinking *and* using point 1 above would allow the reading of all references in the other panel with no extra messing about at all. And the program would be officially perfect :-)
I find i am using AndBible for almost all of my bible study now. I rarely use esword on PC which for me is great because i work at a pc every day and so my bible study i prefer to do away from my work tools. Thanks again for the great program!
