Original release notes
The biggest update FireFly has ever had, and every bit of it is still free. THE WHOLE BIBLE, NOW INSIDE THE APP A new Bible tab holds all 66 books of the World English Bible, bundled and fully offline. Search the entire text, bookmark the chapters your family loves, and tap Continue Reading to return to your place. Chapters flow on across book endings, and it honors your chosen text size. Nothing streams and nothing is locked, so it works on a plane, in the car, or anywhere with no signal. Stories tonight, the real thing when they're ready. 25 NEW STORIES Each one is a faithful retelling of a real passage, with its own illustration, memory verse, bedtime prayer, and Talk About It question — and each is written at all three reading levels. STORYBOOK MODE Open any story as a full-screen, page-turning picture book. Every page carries a full painted illustration, and the book turns its own pages in time with the narration, so a child who cannot read yet can still follow along. LISTEN TO THE SCRIPTURE The full Bible passage behind every story is now narrated too, read by that story's own narrator. Tap Scripture and press play. A NEW GAME: THE INSPIRATION TREE Grow an A to Z tree of words about Jesus. Every letter offers two words to choose from, or your child can write their own. A SIMPLER BEDTIME The bedtime routine is now simply story, prayer, goodnight. The breathing step is gone, along with the drifting sparkles that floated over the artwork, so the illustrations sit calm and clear. EASIER TO GET AROUND The tab bar is now Home, Library, Bible, Games, and Rewards. Settings moved to the gear at the top of Home, still safely behind the parental gate. ALSO IN THIS UPDATE A parental gate and full Reduce Motion support throughout, a calmer night-glass look across the Library, Games, and bedtime screens, a pinned now-playing bar, narration speed controls in the player, and a long list of small fixes and polish.
