2017 was a fantastic year at Olive Tree. You guys read the Bible (a lot!). We were able to make some big changes that improved the way you study the Bible. It was a win-win. So, let’s reminisce over the last twelve months and what we accomplished together!<\/p>\n

YOU GOT IN THE APP AND READ THE WORD<\/strong><\/h3>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

You all opened the app 262 MILLION times in 2017. That’s 262 million instances of someone reading God’s Word. Since our mission is to encourage people to connect with God and the Bible through technology, this statistic makes us SO happy.<\/p>\n

YOU GOT IN THE APP AND STAYED IN THE APP<\/strong><\/h3>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

We like looking at this statistic because it lets us know if users are having quality study time inside the app. Based on the numbers, that seems to be the case! Keep it up, you guys.<\/p>\n

WE MADE NOTES MORE FUN<\/strong><\/h3>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

This was a little addition we thought would be fun for our notes feature. Now when you want to represent the ? and ? from John 6, nothing is holding you back.<\/p>\n

TOP 5 PURCHASED RESOURCES<\/strong><\/h3>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

We’ll have another blog up soon that goes even more in-depth on the top titles from last year, but here’s a sneak peek at the top 5. You guys are really trying to place yourself in Biblical times\u2014learning about the culture, the geography, and the original languages.<\/p>\n

Top 5 Reading Plans of 2017<\/h3>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

This year, 348,000 reading plans were started! We’re so proud of our users who stuck with their reading plans till they were completed. It isn’t always easy to do! It’s never too late to start a new reading plan, or jump back into one you forgot about.<\/p>\n

VERSE OF THE DAY 2.0<\/strong><\/h3>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

We added a visual aspect to our Verse of the Day feature! You can determine when you get the notification, share the image on social channels, and quickly tap “read” to see the verse in context (because context is crucial!). Currently, this is only available for iOS devices\u2014but watch out Android users! You’ll see this feature hit your devices in 2018.<\/p>\n

A HUGE MAKEOVER<\/strong><\/h3>\n
