Is there a reason, if a rewrite is in the works, not to collaborate
along with another effort that is cross-platform capable? There are
several good toolkits already out there that can produce very
serviceable mobile apps. Ezra is built, I believe, on Apache's Cordova
and already works very well across a variety of screen sizes. I've
used it on desktop and on my phone. And it even adapts well between my
phone in narrow mode and in foldable mode (I have a Pixel 9 Pro Fold),
properly using the extra screen real estate that it gains in open mode.
I strongly agree with Greg, we have such a lack of developers (Karl
promised a xiphos release for Christmas but he didn't have time) that if
we could gather our forces on a few flagship projects it would be great.
For ios Ezra is a good idea, otherwise of course there's Andbible, and I
think Bishop is also on iOS.
I also propose that we entrust this demand for developers to the Lord.
May He send us the ones we need.
Thus, an iOS build of it could probably be produced as well as an
iPadOS version that adapts well. I don't think a version is currently
being built for iOS but I think that's just a limitation of the
developer not using or having Mac devices.

I discussed this with a volunteer developer, today. We agreed that
probably the best way forward was a rewrite/replacement. If anyone
wants to contribute to that effort, please let me know.
