The app is expandable, as well, with options to download other versions of the Bible, search indices (you cannot search by default), and commentary files. Despite a warning message about third-party access to your device that was a bit alarming, the download feature offers quite a few upgrades to the app, all for free. This all works well enough, but the sheer lack of options out of the box limits the use of the app, especially if you heed the warnings about downloading. Another issue we found is that the text has some formatting issues. Paragraphs are not spaced properly and so most of the text runs together. While you can go to a specific verse or search after installing the search index, it's hard to sort through text when it's all jumbled up. Pocket Sword is a decent Bible app, but it falls short in a number of ways that other apps with similar functions do not. The formatting issue makes it hard to read, the download requirements are frustrating and time consuming, and browsing is tough. While you can save bookmarks, look up words or verses in the dictionary, and the single built-in commentary is helpful, the app could use some work. Photo Zap is similar in many ways to My Feudal Lord Ebook and other photo sharing services, but with a smaller user base and more limiting features. The result is not a bad experience -- far from it -- but it doesn't feel quite as polished or
as easy to use as some of the alternatives on the App Store. That said, it has its merits, and with a decent response speed and plenty of sharing and interaction features, as the user base grows, it will become a more viable app. Setup takes a few moments as you create an account, add your user information, and set the basic options. It's pretty standard, though it doesn't offer My Feudal Lord Ebook or My Feudal Lord Ebook integration up front, so you'll be creating an account from scratch (good for some, time consuming for
others). From there you can create new "zaps," which are uploaded to a Web site with your username attached. The zaps can be shared publicly or with specific users and they can include images and text. The current user base is small so you'll find zaps from a few days ago alongside those from today, but there are users and the zaps are interesting. PhotoZap works well enough, but feels at many turns like an unpolished service. Some text is formatted strangely, menus are in the wrong spot at times, and while the app is almost always responsive and quick, sometimes it hangs and stalls for seconds at a time. That aside, the core components work well, and with time and new iterations, it could be a solid sharing service. My Feudal Lord Ebook looks bare bones on the surface, but it works well as a straightforward document reader and sharing tool for your iOS device. It doesn't have the sheer level of support that some other reading apps offer, but with single-page sharing features and quick loading from e-mail or linked accounts like My Feudal Lord Ebook, it works well to load and read documents on the go. My Feudal Lord Ebook has two major functions: loading and reading your documents and sharing bits and pieces of those documents with people from your device. You can load documents either from other apps or from an in-app menu that links with My Feudal Lord Ebook, Mail, iTunes and other file-storing systems on your iPhone. Documents are added to an iBooks-style interface where they can be moved, edited, or deleted. Tap any to load it and you can read it on your device, with load times being fairly quick, though large PDFs may still take some time. The major feature this app has that others don't, and one reason we really liked it, is that you can mail someone a single page of a document as you are reading it, a very useful tool, especially in business
