Using the app...
There are a few tips and tricks to using this app...
Getting Help
If you want help on any screen, press the
button.
This opens a quick guide... Press and hold "Next Tip" to show
a short tip on what each control does. Each time you
press, it shows a different control. If there is a "User
Manual" button, then pressing that opens up the user manual on the
page for that screen.
The quick guide also includes an "Undo" and "Redo" button, which
lets you undo or redo the last change you made.
Split Screen
Depending on what type of device you are using, the app will either
open one screen at a time, or slide in a second screen next to the
first. Larger devices like desktop computers and iPads
will show two screens at once, but phones will show only the
one. For desktop, if you make the window small enough,
it will revert to a single screen.
Desktop Use
The desktop version has keyboard shortcuts for most
controls. To find out what they are, hover over the
control, and the tooltip will list the shortcut.
On most lists, you can Right-click to open a context menu that lets
you delete or edit an entry.
Mobile Use
The mobile version lets you swipe between screens for the prayer view and prayer details. To go
to the next prayer, swipe from right to left. To go
back, swipe from left to right.
You can also slide from left to right to close most screens.
Swiping from right to left on a list may open a mini-menu, which
lets you delete or edit that entry.
Double tapping on an editable field opens a menu that lets you copy,
cut or paste text to that field.
Cloud Use
The OSX and iOS versions of this app bought from the Apple App Store
are able to use iCloud to store their data. All platforms can use
Google Drive to sync data. This lets you back up your prayer diary
to iCloud, and also share the same prayer diary between multiple
devices (see cloud).
