Parity: Bring to iPad all the features of the desktop version

iPhone 14 with A15 or A16 chip, Ipad Mini with A15, iPad Air with M1 or iPad Pro with M2 chip (and about 60g free memory) can easily handle full Logos download of 10k titles and do indexing etc. Faster than most older Laptops.
Not enough screen real estate on iPhones for full festooned capability. But iPads do have enough , if properly managed and fairly small point sizes are used.=============

It would be interesting to know how many people use mobile devices to access Logos.0
-
Agreed. Logos is all I use my 7 year old windows laptop for.0
-
I realize this would take considerable work, but I would use it 99.9% of the time I use Logos if you made a fully-functional, desktop grade app for the iPad.0

I don’t own a laptop and have been doing all of my work on the iPad. I recently bought a logos 10 package as well (Academic Essentials) and it had the features I saw which was the closest to the Bronze and the features I could needed to be on the iPad. But then there are so many limitations to using the iPad that even the web app also does not compensate. Maybe a paid desktop feel app? That would be a win win for me. For now, im constantly having to find other ways to get the job done. Please please make this happen. Or then i have to save and buy a laptop…which i’d rather save to build my logos library and have them fully functioning on my iPad!0

Mobile processors on both IOS and Android are super powerful. What you do for iPadOS pls also do for Android.0

@Nathan Ipad 12 with 1t of memory will handle any set they have. But no can do. why bother.0

Yes! This would be incredible. I’m sure this is possible because I’ve seen this done with other Ipad OS apps. Where the Ipad app is pretty much fully capable in comparison with the mac app. If logos was fully capable while bringing apple pencil support for therapy workflows and canvas **chefs kiss (I would happily shell out a one time fee for this app on ipad if it worked really well! WHATEVER you do, don’t make it a subscription. I WILL NOT support that regardless of the price of the subscription. Thanks.0

I have an iPad Pro 11” and read a lot of iPad forums. The limiting factor in Logos for iPad parity with the desktop is iPadOS itself and the way _it_ behaves.
With the Pro versions having more RAM (8GB and 16GB with the 1TB version) Apple needs to step up their game. A lot of users (myself included) wish we could use the iPad as our only device - but Apple is standing in the way of that for now.
For now the iPhone dictates how the iPad behaves.
I recommend to people - use your iPad until it blocks you, then have a cheap computer (I have a 2017 MacBook Air $300 refurbished these days) accessible for these moments. I find logos a better experience on desktop than iPad but I majority ‘blame’ Apple, not Faithlife.
iPad logos has some tweaks I’d like to see, but I level set my expectations against this context.0 -
Would be nice. Android / Samsung tablet too pls. Tablets are just as powerful as most desktops now!0

The new Logos needs this adaptation.
If we really want to make logos our main workplace, it must be able to accompany us with all its capacity wherever we go.
It serves as a versatile tool for work, study, and prayer. It’s crucial that this app can seamlessly follow you everywhere, maintaining the same full version as we have on iOS. I believe it’s feasible to adapt this app to run on the iPad with the M-chip, ensuring a smooth and uninterrupted user experience.0 -
Yes, please!0
-
Totally agree! I see that this was first brought up 3 years ago. Since then a lot of people have ditched their PCs and laptops and are using ipads exclusively. We need this to happen now. Please.0
-
I think because the the direction tech is going, and more people using tablets, this is essential.0
-
The new iPad Pro's are so powerful that a full featured app feels like it should be possible. I use my iPad 100x more than my PC and it would be helpful for home cell/small groups.0
-
I agree! more & more people are using iPads as laptop replacements. personally, when I travel, I don't bring my laptop just my iPad, so it's really inconvenient to not be able to use the full range of study tools (in particular searching by the original language roots). instead I have to make a note to myself to go home & search it later, or just make do with Blue Letter Bible's lemma searches0

I set up a Logos account for my wife and bought a starter package for her. We got it set up on her iPad and found that it lacks so many features she has to log into my account on the web app to do her research. Then she can read her Bible and take notes in the Logos mobile app on her iPad. But the features are so limited, I almost regret buying a package for her. Logos has a learning curve, and she is less motivated to figure it out since her iPad app can't do many of the things I told her that I use in Logos (I'm mainly on a MacBook personally, and use my iPad Logos for reading or preaching only).
I think greater iPad parity would encourage wider adoption since many casual users will start with the mobile app. At least, for my "normal" church friends who don't teach/preach, their main use case is devotional study on mobile. And if they could get access to more features, I think they would be more likely to consider buying a package.0 -
I absolutely agree.What I want is to be able to make full use of Logos functionality, but in a smaller form factor that is more portable than my Macbook.0
-
@Hanson No. No we’re not.0
-
I agree. The iPad is powerful enough now, that this just makes sense. I rarely use my laptop anymore as most everything I used to do on it can now be done on my iPad which is almost always with me. The one major exception is Logos. I read and start studying with the App, but still have to move to my desk and use my Laptop when it would be easier and my practical to do many if not all of those deeper study functions on my iPad. I want to see all of the tools and functionality that desktop has in the App plus adding some additional features that leverage the Apple Pencil and portability of the iPad. This is my traveling library.0

Now, six years since the release of the 2018 iPad Pro, I'm still waiting on one set of software before I can do my entire workflow on an iPad - Logos Bible Software and Proclaim by Logos. I know this would require a lot of legwork to develop the full desktop app for use on iPad. It would certainly be worth it for me.0
