Link sets with IOS Logos?

Tim Worley

Hello,

Like others here, I am a displaced WS user (of 11 years). I am looking at moving to Logos as just part of the natural progression of technology. I am basically trying to swiftly move past the learning curve, and on to productiveness. Will be using both the Windows version on a laptop and IOS on an iPad Pro. 

Thus far, I cannot find an equivalent of "link sets" on the iPad - where navigating through the Bible causes matching navigation through opened commentaries. Am I missing something there?

Also, is "passage guide" as close as the mobile version comes to Explorer in the desktop version? I am missing the cross reference to sermon illustrations resources on the iPad platform. They do seem to work via Explorer on the desktop platform.

And one more question: will upgrading to Logos 9 change any of the above, and make the IOS platform function closer to the Windows platform?

Thanks in advance,

-Tim

HI Tim - welcome to Logos and to these forums

I am basically trying to swiftly move past the learning curve, and on to productiveness.

Please feel free to post questions and we'll help the best we can.

There is a link set ability in the mobile apps - please see https://support.logos.com/hc/en-us/articles/360025293271-Logos-Mobile-Linking-Tabs for information on how it works.

Also, is "passage guide" as close as the mobile version comes to Explorer in the desktop version? I am missing the cross reference to sermon illustrations resources on the iPad platform. They do seem to work via Explorer on the desktop platform.

Passage Guide on mobile is more a cut down version of the Passage Guide on desktop.

But it doesn't contain all the sections - and the link to sermon illustration resources is one of the (many) missing sections.

And one more question: will upgrading to Logos 9 change any of the above, and make the IOS platform function closer to the Windows platform?

There are some new features in the Logos 9 app on mobile but none that affect the specific things you mention above,
