Suggestion: A Wiki page to list Android devices that work / doesn't work with Logos

Hi!

There's some Android (low-end) devices that doesn't run Logos Android app, even though they have Adnroid 2.1 or later (like my Chinese "Evix T1" tablet with WM8650 chip). It would be good to have a wiki page to list Android devices that are tested to work / not to work with Logos.

For example, I'm planning to sell my tablet and buy a new one, but I don't want to invest much to it because I'm going to just read Logos books and other ebooks for it (and maybe surf in the net). I just don't need a 500€ tablet. But I don't want to buy an another 99€ tablet that doesn't run Logos.

Mikko,

That is a good suggestion. The good news is that the Wiki can be edited by anyone.

You'll be happy to find the start of such a page here: http://wiki.logos.com/Mobile_Compatibility_List

Hi Mikko,

Unfortunately, with thousands of Android devices available we don't have the resources to create and maintain an official list of Logos-supported devices. As I mentioned in an earlier thread, your best bet is to purchase a current and widely used mainstream device made by a popular manufacturer. Devices able to run newer versions of Android are recommended. Less than 5.5% of devices run Android 2.1 and it's dropping quickly, so I would choose a device that can run newer versions of Android.

Since anyone can edit it, I decided to add the two devices that I have been successfully using. Hopefully I haven't broken any policies or procedures by doing that, because I thought that wiki page was an excellent idea. I love Logos 4 and really love that they have an Android version! Keep up the awesome work Logos!

P.S. I took the liberty of dividing the list into iOS and Android devices.

That was the point Mark. You have done the right thing. :-)

Hi!

Yes, I'm aware of that and that's why I suggested a list to Wiki that users can edit based on their own experience.
