How can I get rid of the "library" pane in landscape view? It is unnecessary to have it there all the time.
The little square window that shows cross-referenced text is ridiculously small and difficult to read compared to previous versions.

Excellent!
This is the update ESV has needed for a while now. Makes a great app much much better.

New update issues
Since the new update of the app I have experienced one rather big issue. Every time you want to open the app it crashes completely. I absolutely love this app and this translation of scripture! I use it so much and really want to rate it 5 stars! Please fix this glitch!
