How can I see a list of downloaded resources on my iPad? The mobile devices page (https://www.logos.com/account/devices) is clearly wrong, showing that I only have 4 downloaded resources. I know I have more than that. I need to know because I have a problem with highlighting synchronizing, and before I delete and install the iOS app (and wipe out all my downloaded resources) I'd like to know what I need to redownload.

    If you enter "local:" in the library filter you will just see downloaded resources.

    And they should be downloaded automatically on reinstalling the app

    That link doesn't show how many resources you have downloaded, it shows how many "devices" you have the app install on. NOTE: there are a number of factors which could cause a new "device" to be created (such as updating to a new version of iOS).

    The info that Graham gave you is how you discover what resources are downloaded to a device from within the mobile app itself (local:). From within L6 you can sort base on "device" and see what is downloaded.

    EDIT: It might be good to create a special tag within L6 so that in case you do need to manually redownload resources, you can filter and use "download all" on mobile. If you need help with that after the download, create a new thread in the iOS forum and we will give more instructions.

    You are correct. I mis-linked. I meant the Library sorting in Logos by device.

    Another item I need help with: can I search for resources on my iPad by collection? I tried "collection:NAME OF COLLECTION" but it did not work.

    I don't think so. It is my understanding that support for collections on mobile is limited. You should be able to select a collection when performing a "basic" search, but not from within the library. You can, however, filter on mytag, which is what I referred to above.

    With the new Logos 10 iPad app, the local: command does not work. However, there is another way to see how many, and which, resources have been downloaded to your iPad.

    With your iPad connected to the Internet, if you go to the Library view, just under the library search line (it says "Find resources ..."), the app says IN YOUR LIBRARY followed by the total number of resources available for you to access on your iPad (which is likely a little less than the total number of resources you own).

    Now if you go offline (for example, put your iPad in Airplane Mode), the number will change to show only the number of resources physically downloaded to your iPad, and the list of books in your library should show only those resources.

    Hi David

    True - and the method you outline does work.

    But the recommended way to do this is using filters as described at https://support.logos.com/hc/en-us/articles/360034439812-Logos-Mobile-Using-Your-Library#filter
