Thanks, Troy! I downloaded Bishop on an Android phone (Moto E with Android 7.1.1), and it worked until I tried downloading spavbl2018eb from the eBible.org repository. Opening that Bible resulted in the spinning wheel of death. I then tried engfbv2018eb, with the same result. Either time, I could go back to an already-downloaded translation (that was there with And Bible), and that worked. Downloading a new Bible from Crosswire Main worked. Downloading a full Bible from eBible.org (engRV1895eb) worked. When I tried to install a partial NT (engGLW1996eb), that installed, but also would not open (spinning wheel of death).
Spin. Spin. Spin. Something is hanging up or in an infinite loop... On 03/03/2018 02:24 PM, Troy A.
