“Look Up” Feature Not working Offline with Android

I’m trying to use the “Look Up” feature on my Android tablet while offline, but it claims that I don’t have any lexicons downloaded, but I do - HALOT, BDB, and just about every other Hebrew or Greek lexicon available to me is downloaded on it. As soon as I go online, it works - but I’d like it to work offline.

In the example below I’ve clicked on a word in BHS, then tapped “Look Up”, and I get an error code.

It’s erroring out when I try to attach images using the forum, so I’ll link to them from my Dropbox:

I'm afraid that, to the best of my knowledge, you need to be online for this to work.

To clarify:

I’m pressing the “Open” button that appears in the smaller pop-up when I long press a word.

This semi-works on my Android 14 phone when offline - I at least get a lexicon entry from HALOT (though it only shows HALOT and not BDB as well). However, it took a while for this function to work at all; I had to reboot my phone several times before it finally started functioning Offline.

But on my Boox tablet (Android 12, but the same version of the app) it doesn’t seem to work at all.
