Pros and cons of EGW Writings app for iPhone and iPad

EGW Writings app good for

Please, translate in portuguese for brazilians! Thank you! God Bless you!
That is really good!! Thank you very much for this app!! It has been such a blessing for me!! Hope that one da we have it in portuguese too!! God bless you all!!
Thank you very much for the Update for iphone 5 and iOS6. The App is perfect. I hope there will be came an update also for the german and russia version. (Sorry for my english)
So happy to know I can read E.G.W anytime!!! Thank you Jesus!!
This app is great, no wifi required and smooth operation. Thank you so much! Search feature is wonderful. One issue that I dont like is that to move onto the next chapter, you have to go back to the toc. There should be a button to move onto the next chapter easily. Otherwise, thank you for this wonderful app.
Thank so much for doing this and for free too! I am glad you are doing the Lords work. My only problem is going to the next chapter, there should be a button for that because when I swipe across the screen it sometimes makes it scroll up rather than change chapters, other than that phenomenal work, you are making many people including me get closer to God. Thank you!!!!!!

Some bad moments

On iOS 8.1.2 the new version does not function properly. It uses only half of the screen and is not well proportioned at the top. Please fix that soon!
I hoped for an useful update.. This one has become absolutely unreadable. Text is cut off on my iPad mini. Same bugs as on previous versions remain. A pity because this could be such a powerful App.
Great app and easy to use. Love the bible within this App. However, when using Desire of Ages, this App SHOULD include the subtitles of which chapter in the bible each chapter of Desire of Ages is based on as it does in the conventional book. I think I would have to go back to reading the traditional book so as to get the book of the bible the chapter is based on to have the full experience. Sad this is missing in the iPhone app. Maybe an update is warranted. Looking forward to this addition.
Is there any way you could combine the two apps. Please combine the reading capabilities of the first app with the audio functionalities of the second one. Would be so much better
Overall the app looks great with the update. On the iPad since the update, the ability to swipe and change chapters is no longer responsive and the arrows at the bottom do not work as well. This definitely impacts use. In addition, I have a recommendation (for iPad), why not add the ability to have more windows like the iPhone. Since there are only two it limits your ability have multiple topics being studied at once.
Once I was in one of her books, I discovered there was no way to go back to the listing of her book titles to choose another one. I tried every button there was, but the closest I could find was a search field. Trash. Deleted.
