One verse per screen, with a step bar

Jeremiah 17:5–8 (NIV) is shown one verse at a time: verse 6 sits alone mid-screen under a four-part progress bar, with the reference and an information button above, “Bible version: NIV” below, and text-size and notes buttons at the bottom.

Design takeaway

A verse at a time slows reading down and suits meditation on a short passage. The step bar keeps the passage boundary in view; the rest of the chapter is out of sight.
