Anyone excited for the Mac & iPad releases?

We are excited that the newest Glo update has been released and is available for immediate download. These are some incredible new features that will help you experience the Bible, and share those experiences with others. Update v2.0 includes::

ESV and The Message
Glo now includes the popular English Standard Version (ESV) and The Message translations, all linked by verse to the world of Glo media. Access them from any scripture page using the translation pull-down in the top center menu.

Enhanced Journal, New Presentation Tool
A complete rework of the Journal allows you to drag-and-drop to create simple presentations for use in sermons, classes or Bible studies. You can now add notes to photos, virtual tours, artwork, videos, maps and articles and incorporate them seamlessly into your Journal.

FIND added to the Atlas and Timeline Lenses
A FIND field now narrows down places, events and topics as you type in the Timeline, Atlas and Topical lenses. (TIP: After typing, press “return” to see all the content related to the narrowed down results in the media grid)

Faster Install, Streaming Media Option
A new installation option allows you to either stream the complete library of high-resolution media or install it on your computer. This is great news for users with limited computer disc space.

Updates to Linkage
Ongoing enhancements to the topical cloud help you find what you need when you need it.

And as always, stability and performance upgrades improve your overall experience with Glo.

To get the update, simply launch Glo and it will automatically check for the latest release!

Today we released Glo version 1.8.0, which includes an improved Help Tool and many behind-the-scenes performance enhancements. Help now includes screen captures, Glo tips, and expanded instructions to help you get the most from Glo. Just click the Help”?” icon, which is located in the top right navigation for easy access.

We encourage you to explore Help and watch Glo tutorial videos on our website to learn handy tips and tricks!

One of the enhanced features included in today’s 1.7.0 release of Glo is a “select all” tool in the media lens. When viewing search results or clicking a media container, Glo often delivers large sets of results. By clicking the “All” button located in the bottom of each column, you will instantly select everything in that column and bring up the wheel menu to manipulate those items.

For example, the results for the topic of “marriage” includes more than 100 Scripture passages. Now, you can press “All” in the Scripture column to select them and create a reading plan, view in the Bible lens, or filter the results further.

By popular request, we added another handy feature to the media lens: Scripture search results now display in your selected Bible translation. Simply set your default translation in the Bible lens and Glo does the rest!

Version 1.7.0 also includes other feature enhancements that make your Glo experience more smooth, robust and stable.

What do you think of the new “select all” feature?

We interrupt your regularly scheduled Easter programming to tell you about the new release of Glo that is available today. It includes:

New Reading Plan Controls – Refined controls on Bible Reading Plans allow you to “check-off” when you’ve read a segment. Plus, a new “filmstrip” design lets you drag to see what you’ve completed and what’s still left to read.


New Topics Added - 190+ new topics added to the topical lens, including justice, leadership and poverty. As always, these topics are linked to Scripture, media and articles, and can also be used to create a customized Bible Reading Plan (here’s how).

Improved Linkage to Top Scripture Results
Glo links the entire Bible to relevant articles and media, but we’ve improved linkage to the top Scripture results such as 1 Corinthians 13, Psalm 23, Genesis 1 and more. Read more about how Glo provides enhanced search results.

And as always, stability and performance upgrades to improve your overall experience with Glo.

Lots more in the works too! Let’s just say we’ve caught that iPad fever that’s been going around…more on that soon. Happy Easter!
