Bought a book; it didn't show
I know this is old news, but I just had to rant a bit.
First, I love L4 and the iPhone app.
I was helping out a Pastor with a class on Proverbs. Being Lutheran, I chose to select People's Bible commentary on Proverbs. http://www.logos.com/ebooks/details/PB20PR
Of course, it came in right away. But when checking my iPhone, I do not have it. My purpose was to have it be available, so that the underlined items would show up when I opened my iPhone. Even taking a laptop would be a hassle, to have to read from, but that iPhone presents a whole lot of convenience.
I realize that publishers have not given the go-ahead, but from what I can tell with the one I consulted, they are just waiting for Logos to contact them, as I indicated when I sent Logos the memo.
Perhaps it would be a good idea, to put a small icon on the screen of books, which are not authorized yet, so that if I am going to buy a commentary specifically for use on my iPhone, I do not buy it, when it will not even be available.
Thanks.

I'm guessing this is a man power issue. But I second the desire to know before you buy which will be iphone available.

If a book is available, there is an indicator on the product page.

Regarding buying a new Pre-Pub book, and it not showing up in IPhone, I purchased IVP Dictionary of the Old Testament, Pentateuch and Historical books collection and the product page says that it is on the Iphone.
I installed it on my Macbook, synchronized the licenses in both Logos for Mac 1 and Logos 4 for Mac. I restarted my computer and it is appearing on my laptop. I have read it on my laptop. I have restarted my Iphone several times and resynched my Macbook licenses several times. It is not appearing in the Iphone.
Am I doing something wrong?

I don't have an iPhone, but they're not showing up on library.logos.com either. I guess something is amiss on Logos' side.

This is good to know. I'll probably not buy anymore resources unless they can be used across all platforms. Hope the publishers get a clue!

Did anyone figure out why books showing as being available for iphone are not showing up on the iphone? I have a couple instances of this where it's in LS4 on my desktop but not the iPhone... just curious.
Thanks,
Andrew
