Troubleshooting

My app is not working

  • There are a few possible causes, but the most common cause is having an older version of the app installed. Uninstall the app, and then reinstall it using the App / Play Store (see installation steps above which differ depending on your device and the version of app you purchased initially (if on Android)).
  • If you are still experiencing problems, review the other possibilities below or contact us (see contact details below) with a FULL DESCRIPTION of WHEN, WHAT, WHERE related to the problem.

 

I purchased the previous Mirror Bible App. Why must I purchase it again?

  • If you purchased the app on the Android Play Store, and now want to install it on an Apple IOS device (or vice-versa), there is unfortunately no way we can help – they are two different companies – you’ll need to purchase it again.
  • Ensure that the App/Play Store on your device is linked to the same account with which you purchased the Mirror Bible app originally, else your device has no way of knowing you purchased it previously. On Android, open the Play Store and go to Settings -> Account and device preferences, and check/set it there.
  • We are donating the app to hundreds of pastors and believers all over the world. Your support helps them!

 

I forgot my password.

 

I get “Err#3, Oops, comms error…”

  • This occurs sometimes when using certain internet service providers (some info gets lost in the communication). Check your internet connection and close and reopen the app. If this does not work, restart your phone and open the app again to reset the session. If the problem persists, please contact us at .

 

I did not receive the confirmation email after registering.

  • NOTE: this is applicable only to the older 2019 app purchased before March 2022.
  • Please note that these are 3d party service providers and that Mirrorword cannot take any responsibility related to the use of their services:

 

I purchased the Full Content but still only the free content displays.

 

Many of the books and chapters are missing

  • Firstly, please note that the translation is a work in progress. Most of the New Testament is already translated, and it is the author’s intent to translate the whole New Testament and portions of the Old Testament. After purchasing, you will receive updates for free on an ongoing basis, until we release the final full NT Mirror Bible.
  • Secondly, in case you missed it, the menu in the app that accesses the chapters and books is the magnifying glass icon at the bottom of the screen. Tap it.
  • Also view the next Troubleshooting point below… 

 

Many books eg 1 Cor display only a few (eg 10) chapters on the Menu. 

  • First ensure you have the Full Content, else purchase it… 
  • Open the Navigation Dropdown menu, click on eg 1 Cor to display the chapters
  • Use your finger to scroll the page up to reveal the remaining chapters
  • If they still don’t display, tap again on 1 Cor to hide the chapters. Then tap again to reveal them and then scroll to reveal the remaining chapters (we are aware that this is a bug and will fix this soon).
  • Note, certain books eg 1 and 2 Peter have not been translated fully yet.

Francois has been tirelessly translating since 2014. At present (2021) most of the New Testament is completed. His aim is to complete the New Testament and a few selected portions of the Old Testament.

I don’t own a Kindle myself, but it seems from a bit of research I’ve done now, that there is a good chance it won’t be deleted if you upgrade, OR it is possible to backup the notes and highlights you’ve made on a Kindle book, and restore them. Note that the notes and highlights is not a Mirror Bible feature, but a Kindle feature – it is available on any Kindle book.
 
Check this article and my notes below:
 
This article also states that the highlights and notes are stored in a file on the Kindle….
Which therefore strongly suggests that they may not be deleted if you install the new version. BUT if they are … you can copy this file to another device (eg a thumb drive or pc), then download and install the new version of the Mirror Bible for Kindle, and then copy that file back to its original place/folder on the Kindle, the notes and highlights may just all be intact 🙂
It is a worth a try.
 
My suggestions:
(Preferably experiment on another Kindle device (not your own) – one that you don’t mind if you loose everything).
 
  1. Follow the steps in the first section of the article to backup the notes and highlights.
  2. Make sure they are backed up by opening the backup file and checking the contents.
  3. Then go to the second section in the article (How to Export Highlights From Kindle Storage) and follow these steps to copy the “My Clippings.txt” file to your pc/mac/thumb drive.
  4. Install the new Kindle Mirror Bible from Amazon
  5. Check if the notes and highlights are not perhaps already there 🙂 Good chance they were not removed :)!
  6. If they were removed, then copy the My Clippings.txt file back to the Kindle device from your pc/mac/thumb drive – copy it to exactly the same place as it was previously.
  7. Check again… I hope it works!
 
Sorry I can’t give more exact advice as I don’t have a Kindle myself, but as mentioned, there is a good chance nothing will be lost 🙂
