To add a highlight:
Tap on the verse number where you would like to add a highlight.
A toolbar will pop up, with several options. Select the “Highlight” option. You can now select the number of verses to highlight. Tap the right facing arrow to select multiple verses.
Once you have selected the verse range to highlight, tap “Select [number] Verse(s).”
The highlight editor will pop up which allows you to title the highlight, change the highlight color and edit tags for the highlight.
Make the changes to the highlight you would like, and tap “Save” to finish adding your highlight.
To add a note:
Tap on the verse number where you would like to create a note. A toolbar will pop up, with several options. Select the “Note” option.
The note editor will pop up which allows you to title the note, add text to the note and edit tags for the note. Tap on the “Edit” button to add text to your note. Tap “Done” when you are finished editing the note. A note icon should appear in the Bible text next to the verse you selected to create a note.
Sync with Evernote
9One of the great features of The Bible Study App is the ability to sync the notes you take with all of your devices that have the App installed. This allows notes you’ve taken on your tablet or phone to be available on your laptop where you can edit them or easily copy and paste them into a word document. For iOS users there’s also another option that we call ‘External Sync’.
The Bible Study App allows you to sync your notes with Evernote. If you have a free Evernote account you can easily sync, edit, store, or email the notes that you’ve created within Olive Tree’s Bible Study App.
Here’s how:
First tap My Suff (Briefcase icon). At the bottom select “External Sync Services”.
Then simply tap on Evernote and Login with your Evernote account. From there you’ll be able to sync the notes you made in The Bible Study App and now they’ll be available to edit or email in your Evernote account.
Hyperlinked Scripture References
0I use The Bible Reader every Sunday to take sermon notes and wanted to share with you one of my favorite features that allows me to quickly follow the Pastor’s scripture references without leaving the primary text I have open in my main reading pane.
First open up the notes on the split screen:
Then click ‘Add Note’
Now add the scripture reference to your notes. How it becomes a hyperlink varies between platforms. In the iOS for instance it doesn’t have hyperlink capability unless you are done typing and the keyboard is hidden. You can then simply tap the hyperlinked reference and a ’Popout’ will appear that takes you to that verse. In the below picture I’m using the Windows Desktop version and I need to hold down Ctrl and then Click to jump to the scripture reference. While the functionality varies across devices you can then ‘Popout’ the scripture or have it become the primary text in your main reading window.
You don’t have to type out the whole word either as most abbreviations are recognized. So in this case Matt 28:18 is enough for the App to recognize and hyperlink to the right verse.
