Unchangeable Passage List (PL) Bible trans on mobile because of desktop PL "Top Bibles" view

So, I learned of an issue that if you have a passage list & set the translation view from a specific Bible to "Top Bibles" view in Logos desktop app & sync, you can not change the translation of that same passage list on mobile/tablet (after syncing there as well) by tapping on the translation selection button. It doesn't do anything or it shows the Android pressing/tap glow for a few seconds.

I hadn't changed translations in PLs before when on my mobile/tablet, but I tried to a few weeks ago or so. I only made time to test & investigate this issue more deeply today (I had been busy with other things at the time, but found this strange.)

Before figuring out the area of the issue source, I thought I found a titius work around where I had to go to the option of changing my Top Bible to another for that translation to be reflected in a Passage List on my Android mobile device.

See attached pics about what I mean by specific Bible & "Top Bibles" view in Logos desktop app's Passage List as well as the Passage List translation button in Logos mobile app.

I just want to make a quick reply & say that I appreciate the Passage List functionality in Logos (Faithlife Bible apps) very much!! I appreciate the development of this fantastic, advanced all-in-one Bible software despite these bugs/issues!

Thank you!

Hi Ricardo, I am unable to reproduce this issue at the moment. I'm able to change the Bible translation in the mobile app when viewing a Passage List made from Desktop (originally set as Top Bibles). Can you confirm that you are still seeing this issue on the latest Android version: 22.0.1 (1072)?

Hi Mrs. Ali,

I'm not sure about originally set as Top Bibles in the Desktop app, as most passages I made or others made & shared where set in one translation or none at all.

I did see that I was on the lastest version with both my Android phone (mobile) & tablet. Both were experiencing this issue with Top Bibles in the Desktop app.

I just tested again with doing the following:

I changed another passage list to Top Bibles view in Desktop app
Waited for sync
After sync, closed passage list tab & closed Desktop app
Then I opened app on my mobile & waited a bit
I opened the same passage list in new tab
Couldn't change translation
Closed tab & exited app
Then I opened app on tablet & waited a bit
I opened the same passage list in new tab
Couldn't change translation
Closed tab & exited app
I opened Desktop app again, opened same passage list, & changed Top Bibles view to a translaion (ESV, which is my current main (Top) Bible on Desktop & mobile/tablet) again (because I had changed it before because of this issue with Top Bibles & mobile/tablet use)
Waited for sync
After sync, closed passage list tab & closed Desktop app
Did the same steps of checking on mobile/tablet & saw that I could select a different translation

I believe, if this is really only me, I may need to send an email with data logs via Help menu in mobile &/or tablet app.

Another thing to note is that I installed Logos app on mobile & tablet (or vise versa?) around or at the same time in January when I really was trying it, enjoying it, & paid for my Logos 10 package (from my free-tier account at the time). This may mean or be why both mobile & tablet are experiencing the same issue with Desktop app passage list change to Top Bibles view?

Thank you for your detailed explanation, Ricardo. I'm sorry you're experiencing this issue.

Is this a shared Passage List or your own?

I believe, if this is really only me, I may need to send an email with data logs via Help menu in mobile &/or tablet app.

This would be helpful. Thank you!

After my Feb 6 2023 update reply above, I forgot to write that I found that the Bible translation button also works in the mobile app if there are 2 or more translations listed for a Passage List in the Desktop app (see screenshot below).

I just now tested this issue today on my Android mobile & tablet with the latest version (23.0.2) that improved/fixed other things, but this issue still exists between the Desktop & mobile Passage List functions for me.

I am emailing support with a log from the Help section of the Logos app directly on my Android phone (not sure that I need to with the tablet also) about this with the same or similar info from this thread (vise versa) & a link to this thread.

I've talked with customer service and they do not have any logs from you. Can you please try resending your logs? As a refresher, here are the instructions:

Click the More menu (hamburger menu icon)

Thanks!
