This new version actually makes my study harder. Im currently studying the Old Testament and am in the book of Isaiah so having the footnotes visible at all times is very important to me (thanks to all the helps in them) especially in this book. I dont believe that I could be the only one that uses the footnotes constantly, especially given all the work that went into creating them in order to help people learn and not just read. Ive been using the electronic versions of scriptures, especially for my daily study, for the past 5-6 years, precisely because it seemed to be designed (and did) allow me to get more from my time in them, now I get less from my time. I wish I hadnt upgraded.
Another issue that Ive noticed is that I lost all my audio downloads and the app wont complete any download when I ask it to. For instance, I try to download Conference, theres over 500 MB and I never get more than 300 (sometime 5 or 122 or 50 or some other random number even when left overnight and tested on several networks that have no problems with anything else), and instead of just downloading the individual talks it also gets each full session for duplication of data which is also a killer on space.
Ive loved this app (I use it several times a day often totalling 1.5-2 hours a day) and appreciate all the work that The Church puts into it and those that work on it (I can and have accepted bugs like the download issue before) but the change to the footnotes really makes me sad and I find it difficult to do what was easy before.
