I really love the flash card application for the iPhone and the ability to create word lists from source texts and have been using it for months to extend my vocabulary in Hebrew and Greek.
However, there are several problems.
1. With iOS 9.2 on the iPhone 4s the flashcard problem predictably hangs and needs to be restarted after each time when the phone 'sleeps'. sometimes that happens when a card is 'turned over', sometimes just by going forward one card, but either immediately or soon after waking the phone up. It was fine before the update to 9.2. I have not yet updated and tried the next version of the iOS - I'm worried that the number of problems will increase:-(
2. The flashcard program also hangs when the gloss of a word is too long and one tried to turn the card over, this happens e.g. with עמד which occurs somewhere in Genesis 18-20. But this is the first word in Genesis for Hebrew and in John for Greek with that problem. At least the editor in Logos 6 should truncate glosses that are too long for the flash card app.
3. On Mac OSX 10.11.3 with Logos 6.9 the editing of long glosses in word lists is really not nice. The text does not scroll horizontally, but jumps and the cursor always jumps out of the current view.
4. On Mac OSX when editing the 'sections', on double clicking an entry to edit it, the is often a miss-alignment between edit box and the current entry/word, it is often wrong by 2-3 rows (i.e. the box is not for the entry that was double clicked, but a row further down). It is fine when clicking once first to highlight one row and then double clicking. On the last 4-5 rows after clicking once to highlight and then double clicking to edit, the list jumps upwards, and after entering the section number needs to be scrolled down again to edit the next row.
5. One more problem with the flashcard app on the iPhone: when starting on a new list that has sections, there is the question whether to use sections or not. I always answer with yes, then turn off all the sections I don't want and then the app still asks all the words in the list, not just the single one I have turned on, disregarding the setting of the sections. This happens predictably. I then go to the section selection, edit it again (I have not quite figured out how often I need to change the settings to make it work as desired, but I usually get it after less than 3 tries) and only then do I get only the desired, 'turn-on' sections.
6. While I am at it, here is another small problem with the flashcard app: When the app cannot get through to the server (I presume that is in order to load the pronunciation) because the data use through the provider is off (e.g. when roaming in another country) and there is no wifi connection either, then I get the notice that the app cannot connect for every single card where i hesitate a fraction of a second too long. It would be nice if that notice would either just show without need to be acknowledged or only ask for an acknowledgement every so many minutes or seconds. I see it way too often for comfort.
But thanks again for the word lists and the app - it is super to have that.
