Reading a chapter

The Bible view shows one chapter of the Bible at a time. In most cases, the whole chapter does not fit on the screen, so to see more of the chapter, place your finger on the chapter text and slide up (also called "swipe up").

When you swipe up on a view, the bottom tab bar (Home, Bible, TouchPoints, Plans, and Search) is hidden, so you can focus on reading the Bible text:

To un-hide the bottom tab bar, just swipe down on the view.

If the "quick switch" and "view manager" buttons in the bottom right are distracting to you, you can also hide them. Just tap the account icon in the top right, tap Settings, scroll down to the "Show View Manager buttons" setting, and tap it to turn it off.

Swiping to the next or previous chapter

To go to the next chapter, swipe from the right to the left (also called "swipe left") on the Bible text. And, to go back to the previous chapter swipe right.

If you are at the bottom of a chapter, there are also next & previous chapter buttons you can tap to change chapters:
