Please add offline Lookup so that we can do simple lookup from english bible to OL lexicon and from english bible to english dictionary/encyclopedia. from our library.

    As a Dutch user of Logos Mobile apps I find myself sometimes looking up an English word in the resources text. But I can only do that online, not offline. I can't find a way to add dictionaries to the app and make it work. So please add an offline mode for using 'lookup' in dictionaries

    When not connected to the internet, I am unable to select a word to get the word info and BDAG dictionary to pop up. (NKJV & ESV)
    Also no option for the Bible words study.

    Would be great if this feature can be enabled offline especially when using portable tablets with no internet connection. e.g. on the plane, in a different country etc. Means I don't have to carry a laptop.

    Thanks

    I was disappointed to find that Logos Mobile App when in Airplane Mode has no search/lookup capability, thus all lexicons/dictionaries are basically useless in airplane mode.

    I'm guessing this is because Logos Mobile doesn't create indexes on a tablet/phone? And yes I can understand why index creation on a tablet/phone is problematic.

    So what i'm proposing is that Logos Mobile nonetheless create a minimal index in this case that would be sufficient at least for lemma/entry lookup of lexicon/dictionary entries, that sort of thing. Don't need full-text searching here. Just enough to make lexicon/dictionaries usable. I think this should be doable within the constraints of tablets/phones.

    Yes, i recently posted a related request, to create a reduced index on tablets/phones that would support basic lookup of words in lexicons and dictionaries.  No full-text-search needed.

    And also from GNT/BHS/Vulgate to Greek/Hebrew/Latin lexicons.

    It looks like the most recent beta android app claims to have a bug fix that will allow offline lexicon lookup again?

    Offline mode is very important to folks who travel into regions that are unfriendly to Christians. More importantly please add an OFFLINE option in the settings so users can be assured that requests do not leave the device.
