Should I wait ????

FWIW - I found this thread due to a recent situation I'm seeing (as of this morning at church) where, if I have no internet connection then the latest Logos under the latest iOS (on iPad Pro) is non-functional. I can choose downloaded books from my library--but they no longer display. Attempts to navigate from a previously opened bible (while connected) to a new verse (without a connection) are completely ignored.
So, at present, I can't use Logos offline at all--not even to read the books I've purchased and downloaded to my device. (Yes, I've verified they still show as resources already on the device.)I hadn't used Logos on iOS for quite some time without a connection--and was very surprised by this result.
Is this a new bug (one would hope)?
Yes: I've tried restarting my iPad, restarting the Logos app--to no avail. All I need to do is reconnect to the Internet and immediately it all starts working like it should. Disconnect and its back to being essentially non-functional.
Seems to work fine without an Internet connection on my iPhone 6s.

I've been using my iPad at church for at least a year and a half and do not even contemplate using the Logos app. Logos on the pc and OT on the iPad. Easy choices.
I can definitely see why, but it's not as clear cut as it used to be.
I have a ribbon where we are in Exodus in the SS class, A ribbon where we are in the Sunday sermon. It is easy to go to different Bible books and chapters. In between and other times when waiting I'm currently reading a book on theodicy in WS. When doing serious study it is on one of my laptops. I have 4 major packages and one minor, each having their strengths. I like choices, and find they are easy choices.

Please start a thread outlining these issues in the ipad forum where it can be addressed more readily

I think these are all good reason to contemplate before you jump. It seems quite a number of folks have various applications they use. Some are legacy so Olivetree was one of the first on iOS so is still on my system and is extremely good.
The difficulty is that you end up buying the same resources in other software increasing your outlay. Plus it's always better to have all your resources in one package. Choosing amongst the available programmes will not only be a matter of finance, but also platforms. If you rely heavily on mobile devices, say you've invested in the new iPad Pro, then you need to make sure you have good internet access to even contemplate using Logos. I've also noticed that the Windows version of Logos seems to run better than the mac version from some posts I've read. I'm finding Logos on Yosemite slower that photoshop to start up and use.
All in all its worth having a look around and a test of different software in your context before you jump.
