“DAY MANAGEMENT” MENU


1) “AUTOMATICALLY DOWNLOAD EACH NEW DAY” – When activated, automatically downloads the next day after midnight.


2) “YESTERDAY'S COMPLETE” – If activated, it automatically downloads the previous day's complete.


3) “ALWAYS SHOW THE FOUR WEEKS PSALTER” – If activated, even in the presence of a memorial, feast or solemnity, it allows you to view the Liturgy of the Hours of the Psalter, in addition to the texts specific to the liturgical celebration.

 

SCROLL DOWN THE MENU and you'll also find:

- "Download Day" to download the day you select above, in the language you choose.

- "Download Week" to download the entire week in the language you choose above.

In the AVAILABLE DAYS section, you can manage the downloaded days:

- View the day you select.

- Delete it individually.

- Delete all days.

1) “SLIDER” – These two dots indicate that the “Always show the Four Weeks Psalter” mode is active; by sliding your finger to the left, you can view the texts of the Psalter and not those of the liturgical feast

 

As with any change, it will take time to get used to, but we are confident that the big step taken today will be appreciated and understood by all of you, especially considering that the previous version, with each release of the Android operating system, became increasingly obsolete as it could no longer be updated.

We are, however, available to provide you with our full ASSISTANCE. (ibreviary@me.com, paolopadrini@me.com, etc.)

Bug fixing and important news in the upcoming iBreviary update for Android.

Thanks to the users' reports we have made some bug fixes related to the texts of the Saints.

In the latest version, when you selected the text of the saints, the texts were not correct as those of the current day were displayed. We have now fixed the problem.

Also in the new version there will be some IMPORTANT NEWS

1) Adding the "Today" button to the Home. This button will be useful, for example, when you download a day other than the current day, and you want, from the home, to quickly return to today. This is already the case in the iOS version.

2) Possibility to choose a different language for the texts downloaded automatically every day! (in the Settings menu - Home)

When you choose the new default language of the texts, by pressing the back arrow, you will automatically be taken to the Home, where the current day will be downloaded with the new language chosen.

3) In the text display screen, we have created an icon for the Settings, in order to eliminate the icons from the screen and make the texts more readable.
