E-mail News/Status Updates to Faithlife.com?

Brad — Wed, 23 Jan 2013 05:09:15 GMT

Does faithlife.com have the functionality to allow users to email news/status posts? For example sending an email to mycommittee@faithlife.com or mychurch@faithlife.com where "mycommittee" and "mychurch" would be the unique group names also found in groups' custom URLs?

If not, it would be a helpful added feature, to save time over logging in to the site via a browser. And it would be particularly convenient for posting from a smart phone, compared to going through the login process on a tiny browser.

Bug: Logos Forum

Robert Bigouette — Mon, 07 Jan 2013 21:07:50 GMT

Ok, I want to search the Logos forum for issues I am having, but cannot find where to search it? Search this site finds nothing? Not even the answer to how to search logos forum. Anyone?

Reading Group Plans

Jeffery Ferrell — Mon, 31 Dec 2012 23:39:18 GMT

I have a couple of issues with the faithlife platform. But first let me express my appreciation to Bob Pritchett and the entire Logos team for coming up with this idea. I think its awesome but there are some things that need to be worked on in my opinion. I want to add a customized "two year" reading plan and Logos limits me to only a one year option. I think that the time frame should be totally flexible. Secondly its very difficult to make a custom plan. I have come across a number of interesting reading plans that offer a number of creative ways to get through the bible. I would like to see the ability to change the plan in any way as far as what sections of the scripture like psalms or proverbs for every session. I might be missing it here but it seems that if you don't want the template reading plans available you're stuck?

VYRSO and LOGOS books.

Jason B. — Fri, 21 Dec 2012 12:22:48 GMT

I know that from the beginning I loved the ability to read my Vyrso books in the Logos app - but there are many books anymore that I wished that I didn't have to sift through while I'm doing biblical studies.

Is there a way to "silence" or "hide" books (like Vyrso books) in the Logos library?

Thank you,

Jason

Logos 5 - Prayer List - Mobile App Integration

The Rev. Steven P. Sabin — Sat, 15 Dec 2012 03:23:39 GMT

I really like the "Prayer List" feature in Logos 5. It would be even more useful to me if it integrated with the iPad app. It would be nice to have the prayer list on my iPad during the Daily Office when I'm praying in church and away from my desktop computer.

HIghlighting accross Bible versions

Bradley Novacek — Sat, 27 Oct 2012 07:18:35 GMT

Okay, so I love the "Sympathetic highlighting feature. What I have to wonder is, if Logos can highlight text across Bible versions instantaneously, why can't it let me permanently highlight a selected word/phrase across those same versions? I understand that Sympathetic highlighting only works with certain resources, but those are the only Bible versions I use. I used to get this before I upgraded to L4, and sympathetic highlighting proves that the connection between versions still exists, so why not allow me to see the highlighted text whenever I run across it.

For that matter, why can't I make a note to a specific word that will appear across those same Bible versions? Anyone who has done serious biblical exegesis knows what the difference a single word can make. Again I used to be able to do this before my upgrade, so why would they get rid of it?

Re: iPad App Wishlist

Jeffery B. Taylor — Thu, 30 Aug 2012 18:58:48 GMT

Just a thought.

David I really like your ideas, and thought I'd post a few of my own. I often like to use my ipod to look up things at church where I may not have my laptop or tablet with me. I think a few of these would make the Ipod app stronger.

Voice recording within notes (this one is kinda iffy, but it does help in a pinch for idea transfer in a hurry.
Being able to read your entire note file on the Ipod. I've never been able to read mine only add to it.
being able to split screen your notes with your bible would be nice. I see a split screen in the faithlife app which is very useful for running refferences. If that could be done for notes it would be awesome.

Thanks

Does Logos have a wishlist for the iPad app?

For the past few months, I have been forcing myself to use Logos instead of my hardcopy Bible at a weekly Bible study. As a result, I have a few suggestions for making the iPad app into a better product. For example:

Support tabbed reading panes (Google Chrome implemented this interface extremely well). I am not talking about splitting the screen.
Ability to search on New Testament, not the entire Bible.
Ability to scroll text, not simply turn a page. If this is not possible, at least let users align the page to any starting point.
Allow me to use my BDAG more easily, at least when I am connected via WiFi, to look-up selected words.
With IOS 6, support Siri's voice capabilities to permit hands-free navigation.

Re: Windows 8 & Logos- Logo's Team thoughts?

Vincent Xavier Shaw — Fri, 08 Jun 2012 19:37:46 GMT

I multitask with both Metro and within the Desktop app. Metro allows you to snap windows, just like Windows 7 and Logos, given one has enough resolution. I'm sure you do.

As a tablet, the HP TM2 has a resolution of only 1280 x 800, which is not enough for the aforementioned Metro snapping. Yet, with the excellent waacom digitizer (the floating sort) and with the touch screen, I do multitask in Windows 8 through the easy task-switching, of sliding in from the far left. As a tablet, it's wonderously snappy on my slow ULV C2D SU7600 1.3 Ghz processor. It's better than the android and ipad and playbook, but that's just my opinion, from a tablet perspective.

From a laptop perspective, it's key to have a good user input. I still can use my touch screen or pen, my keyboard shortcuts, my touchpad or my external mouse. It's very easy to learn how to go in and out of things. It's different enough that, as my computer-avoiding wife said it, "People are complaining about that / what?! That looks easy. It just works."

It's like when we first learned that we don't need to have the faucet running the whole time when we brush our teeth and floss and shave. You can save money and water just shutting it off. But it's hard to want to, even if you know your comfort is holding you back.

I've wondered to myself at times how hard it is to aim at the nested folders, under folders, of the start menu. Corners are easier to find and take minimal effort with a mouse. The search and synergy shows so much more practice than any green button. It feels like I have more room to run around in my old computer's new lease on life. By the way, I've found it's better now to have a higher speed mouse with greater acceleration, to avoid picking up the mouse over and over to get from one side to the other. In so doing, I quickly manage the windows and action authoritatively.

I don't use a 26" monitor with one app in Metro. Try to learn it's strengths and see how you can use it. I've only had it a day and found a few new ways to be productive. Some workflows will never work for some people. In OneNote, I'd often have the pen in my right hand, while I'm typing on the real keyboard, quickly able to write on the screen as well. Some people will never markup and draw like that, but I do. I'm also trying to practice the better side of "consumption" as you put it. There are times I must meditate, no multi-tasking, just absorb. Read, no serendipity, just steadiness with prayerful and deliberate focus. The Kindle for me has been a blessing regarding this very thing that is a strength: that we are fed, so we can feed others.

Now docked in, expanded via multiple monitors, it just becomes like any other device. But now, I can multi-task with 3 panes snapped, (because with the higher resolution for my 1280 x 800 screen, yippy) I get to snap a metro window and the usual desktop regulars. I'll have Logos maximized on one monitor with my bulletin designing program under it, while several IE tabs snapped in Metro in another window while I have several folders, PDFs, Kindle, all sorted out together.

Still, in Logos, I'm upset that the most basic up or down flick to page up or page down doesn't work right. I receive a graphical confirmation that I'm doing it correctly, but Logos just ignores what every other window recognizes to scroll. I don't need inertial scrolling or page animations. While that's all cute, I prefer being able to turn a page with the tech transparent between me and the matter of the moment. Just one solid page, so I can read the next line quickly. In keyboard mode, I just click spacebar to page down or shift+spacebar to skip back. What I would like is the capacitive touches by hand register as window management and page scrolling, but pen flicks and points and gestures handle Logos commands and linking, highlighting and text interaction.

Proclaim Presentation not being found by Logos App

Andy Norris — Fri, 08 Jun 2012 15:49:52 GMT

Good morning,

I am trying out the Proclaim software to decide if it will be a good fit for our church, and we are especially excited about the interactivity that it can provide with our congregation.

I downloaded the software and make a test presentation, but I can't get my iPad or my iPhone to find the presentation in the Logos Bible App.

I checked to make sure that they were both set to find nearby presentations using Location Services, and in the Proclaim software on my computer I made sure that I had entered the correct physical address, today's date, etc., so it seems like it should work.

We haven't bought an on-air license because we are still trying to decide if it is a good fit. Is the interactive functionality disabled until you purchase a license? If so, is there any way to preview these features without buying the license? If not, does anybody have any ideas about what I might be doing wrong?

Thanks,

-Andy
