Muzzling the treading ox.

A reviewer mentioned that he or she would be happy if Olive Tree allowed for book sharing among family members.

Olive Tree will not allow this to happen, trust me, Ive pleaded with them.

The frustrating thing is that this used to be the case! Before Harper-Collins or Nelson Media bought Olive Tree, it was entirely possible to download a few of your favorite books to a loved-ones device, then switch to the main account for notes and highlights.

Now they expect children to purchase hundreds of dollars worth of books to participate in family study. Wonderful.

edit: Unfortunately, this version continues in the tradition of bugginess introduced in v6. Namely, application hanging requiring restart. I have many highlights and notes. After reviewing notes and scrolling through several consecutive highlighted verses, the app either completely locks (requiring app restart) or ignores taps on notes (will not display tapped notes until restart). Im not sure the developers use many highlights in their test application; certainly dog-fooding would be an immense enough exercise in frustration to merit some serious code review.

Why did Harper-Collins have to take control of this wonderful app.
