Hi Bob, please consider making an logos mobile app for the android. If you noticed HTC is hammering out so many devices this summer especially with the biggest competition to the Iphone the HTC Evo 4g. These devices are going to be running the android OS as numerous other HTCs will be. This would be a huge market and know this will continue to increase as more and more people leave ATT's iphone. I am getting the HTC Evo 4g and would love to have a logos app for it. Please consider Android which will be the best OS and most used from now and into the future. Thanks.

Eric,
Through the answers that we get from the survey that we have posted here will help us get a
greater picture of what kinds of phones our customers use and the App
that we should focus on next. If you have not yet taken the survey, I'd
recommend doing so as that is the best way to let us at Logos know which
App to develop next.

Have Windows Mobile now, but will be going to Android in the near future. Would like to see an app for that platform. I also made this known on the survey.
Thanks Logos!

I went to the Verizon store today to look at the HTC Incredible, and I walked out with a Moto Droid for my wife and a HTC Incredible for me (will be shipped in June). I was not planning on doing that, but you know how it goes. [:)] They were running a great deal that if you buy a Droid the Incredible was free, so I jumped on it.
I would love to see Logos running on that phone. I'm sure it would be snappy since it has a 1Gig processor and 512Mb of RAM!!

it appears there is plenty of interest. with the sale of android based phones climbing steadily it seems the obvious move.

Hi Bob and Co.
When
do you guys think you will be announcing the next new phone app? With the new iphone hitting the
market and costing just less than a trip to the moon my hope is that you will
announce something soon so us consumers have a wider choice of phone apps.0 -
Not sure yet... sorry!

Bummer,
My contract is up and I'm ready for a new phone. But since the Blackberry 9800 isn't released yet, I'm in no hurry.

Bob,
Now that the Kindle is available on my droid phone as of this week, it makes me even more likely to purchase certain kinds of books from the Kindle company than from Logos, simply because I can download the book to my sd card and have access to it without the internet. If Logos would just allow us to put some of our books on the sd card instead of waiting for each page turn in library.logos.com, I would much prefer to purchase the books from you. I don't even need a full logos 4 app, just the ability to read books on my droid from my sd card so I don't have to wait for each individual page to load and I can jump to chapters. These include most books besides commentaries, which are too valuable in Bible Study not to have on logos. Still hoping for a droid app for logos4 though. Thanks for all you do in the most excellent Bible Study software on my pc in any event. I am grateful.

I use my Logos Platinum software almost every day and I would love to have an app for my Droid X. As a senior pastor/teacher - and with a fulltime job, I need to study every chance I get without having to open up my laptop. PLEASE, PLEASE make an app for us none iphone customers. [:)]

What is the status since we took the survey? I know that I am leaning toward iPhone, but being a huge man, blackberry is the phone I will have to stay with from what I see on the market at present. I see more blackberry users, almost equal to the iPhone. Would be nice to know something. Thanks.

Android please! I am waiting to get my new phone because I am waiting to see what you guys are going to do. I love Logos 4, but prefer android to iphone and would love an app. Is there any time frame for your decision making process yet??????

I couldn't wait so, I got the Driod X and I'm hoping that it comes soon. For now, I'm using, "Blue Letter Bible" for my,
"On The Go Study." Not everybody is a iphone owner.0 -
I think we're all begging for a breadcrumb from the master's (Bob P.) table here.
Bob. puhleaeeeese can we get a hand tip in which direction (or both?) you're most likely to take?

Presumably, all of those in the forums that are shouting for a native app for their particular platform are Logos customers. Therefore, you have Logos resources available to you online in more than one form, in what is a fairly good interface (yet limited, but no more than the iPhone). Yet some boldly proclaim that they will do their Bible study elsewhere online. Why would you limit yourself and not use library.logos, biblia.com, or bible.logos? The former two, of which, link to most of your resources.
It is as if, in childish defiance for not getting your way, you are thumbing your nose at Logos, at your own expense. I, for one, am grateful that Logos has gone to such effort, without remuneration, to provide the whole community with access to most of our resources online, no matter where we are and what devices we are using. In addition, they continue to demonstrate their dedication to all of their customers and Bible study by exploring such things as topics.logos and books.logos.
Please, a little charity and perspective.

Michael,
I assumed rather that Edward may not have known about library.logos.com which is in fact a great alternative to not having a custom app. It is what I am using online with my current blackberry.

Blessings Thomas,
Unlike Michael, thank you for assuming correctly... with kindness and grace. I'm a "rookie" with all this and I did tried it on my phone, however I only get Bible, no commentaries, dictionaries, interlinear, etc. I have the Platinum version and I have to say… Logos Bible is by far the best out there. I’m not always on my computer… work crazy hours… and try to get as much study time as possible. Any tips would be greatly appreciated. God Bless!

Edward,
Make sure that when using http://library.logos.comon your cell phone that you are logged in with your Logos ID. There is much more there than Bibles.
Check out the icons running across the top and play around a bit. Of course if you're not logged in you won't see much - but once logged in you'll find your reading plans, bible word studies, passage guides, and a good portion (though not all for licensing reasons) of your library.
It really is a good implementation of a web only access for your library, not matter whether you're using Blackberry, Android, Nokia or whatever.
For a fun desktop experience also check out:

My apologies if I offended you, Edward. Although I quoted you, I was not speaking directly to you, my fault. My comment was directed to those, generally, who have the seeming attitude that I referred to. And, perhaps, I am guilty of exaggeration as well. This conversation about apps seems to breakdown into a passionate struggle between the merits of one platform verses the other with proper perspective left at the door and declarations that the "future" is being ignored (Its like the old Mac verses PC argument but now it is coming from the other side). When, in reality, no app, truly, is needed. (Herein lies my paradox, as I will go down fighting if you try to take the desktop to the cloud also. :-) )
If I came across harsh or out of line, again, my apologies. I welcome you. I, too, am fairly new to this whole system and understand the learning curve of the many opportunities that Logos provides for us to access our resources.
Friends? [B]

We're still working on re-writing our mobile display engine, which has to happen before we port to a new platform. We're almost there.
BlackBerry and Android are both possibilities, though it's looking like Android is getting more traction in the market right now, and I think it'll get attention from us first, though I can't make any assurances (or offer any dates) yet.

New mobile display engine: Woo hoo! Cause I'm hoping that this gives more options (notes? highlights? visual filters?)
Android will be getting attention for Logos: Woo hoo! Thank you

Thank you Bob. Knowing this gives me something further to consider as I stare at my top two phone options, one from each camp. Samsung Captivate or BB Torch. :-)Bob Pritchett said:BlackBerry and Android are both possibilities, though it's looking like Android is getting more traction in the market right now, and I think it'll get attention from us first, though I can't make any assurances (or offer any dates) yet.
I may have to just sit on my hands till after Christmas for this anyway.
