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 Help 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).
