I love the idea a lot, here’s some feedback on the UX: the share/link buttons are too large and distracting on my Safari’s light mode, I’d look to remove the bubble effect on them and make them a bit less contrasting. And, maybe adding a different format to reading? Like, instead of one verse at a time, a continuous stream as an option; while information density isn’t paramount to hopescrolling, being able to use the app as a dedicated reader would be nice, since it is very pretty. And, a personal thing, but I’d love a webapp version with persistence, but I get why you’re funneling people to the app.

I’ll be sure to share it with my brother in ministry, perhaps his church will enjoy it. Hopefully the Android version will come soon, I know my parents and a few other friends would love it as well. God bless!

Thanks for the feedback! I agree the side buttons might be a bit too prominent and I think the animating them in on each swipe is a bit too much, I'll take a look for the next release.

As for "streaming", thats an interesting idea, I'm working on auto-scroll, but for straight reading I could probably do something cool with the scrolling and backgrounds highlighting the current verse but keeping the surrounding context in the view.

The webapp is mostly promotional right now, but I'm considering adding an account system since Android doesn't have an iCloud like service to auto-sync all of your related devices. At that point I'll add in more persistence to the web. That'll be a ways off though, and after getting the android app into the play store as is.
