Hello! Sorry for my long delay in replying to your PR. I've been taking a break for the last couple weeks.

Although currently I'm the primary developer for this app, I don't make the major decisions about the UI and features. Andrew does that. Your PR doesn't have much description about what you are adding. Would you mind opening an issue where you describe the improvement that you want to add to the app? You can also add some screenshots there or here in the PR that should exactly what it looks like. After that I can present your idea to Andrew and see what he thinks. Chances are that he might have a different idea than what you have already done. (That has happened to me a few times already.) But I think he will also be excited to hear about another developer who is interested in working on the GBT mobile app.

The main idea of this change is to list all books (old and new testaments) on the main screen (instead of opening the last book directly)
a progress bar under each book helps visualize the reading progress of it.

Additionally, a new setting is added to modify the verse layout, being paragraph (the current setup) or each verse will be written on a new line, for easier reading experience.

As shown below, each verse is written on a line

Hi @abouzaidan-tony ! Thanks for wanting to help with the project! We really appreciate volunteers who want to contribute, and we're excited about your initiative. I like the idea of giving people the option of verses on new lines. We'll definitely want to implement that. As for the other suggestion, we actually have bigger plans for a reading session mode that I think you'll like. Here's a draft of a mockup I've done for what that would look like and do: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1sX9cn-W_xByfnRLfppKUyfMGOCKz1sJzSP3MqcVLz5E/edit?usp=sharing If you'd be interested in contributing to the development of these features, that would be awesome. The google doc probably needs to be broken down into a feature request and sub-requests in chunks that are more manageable. If you'd be willing to take a stab at dividing that up, that would be great. Otherwise, feel free to comment on the doc.

Also, would you be up for a call over whatsapp sometime? It would be nice to meet you and chat about your background and the vision for the project. My number is +52 9516444166. Thanks!
