Resource View: Add setting to deactivate auto hide main navigation bar

I wish there was an option to cut off the auto Hide function of the taskbar. Sometimes it's very hard to get it to come back up, and then it makes it more difficult to navigate back and forth between resources. I'd rather have an option where it just stays available all the time.

I love Logos, but one option I request is if instead of having the tool bar disappear after a few seconds is for it to remain (top and bottom). Could this please be an option in the view settings? It would be so helpful for me! Thank you.

Does anybody else have trouble getting the taskbar to come up. The taskbar always seems to Auto Hide itself, and then when I need it I can't get it to come up. The reason it won't come up is because of my highlights. I apply a lot of highlights. So everywhere I click all I can get to come up is the pop-up highlight bar. This really slows me down, because I can't get the taskbar up to change tabs. I wish there was an actual way to cut off the autohide function on the taskbar. So that it would just stay up all the time. Instead I'm constantly searching for a blank space that's not highlighted, to tap so that I can get the taskbar to come up. Another option would also be very helpful is if there was a way to actually have tabs across the top so I could just click directly on the separate tag tabs. I switch between my notes and a couple different versions of the Bible at the same time. This is probably only an issue when you have it in phone view on the app.

Can you make a way for the top and bottom tool bars to be locked on or off for both iPhone and iPad? It would be great to have the bible to fit inside these so as to make it easier to switch to other resources, and also for not accidentally making both appear when you just want to read and a portion of the text disappears.

Hello Logos Team,

Please add a feature that would allow users to keep the UI visible (like a lock) for easier navigation without having to first tap the screen.

I primarily use an iPad Pro 12.9”, and having all that screen real estate, I’d like to be able to navigate to a different passage or another open resource without having to first stop and tap the screen to bring up the UI.

The way it auto hides now, it cuts off parts of the resource I’m reading when in page flip mode, and causes distracting jumping when in continuous scrolling mode. If there were a setting to keep the UI always visible, these issues would not be a problem.

I would have supported this 1 year ago, but the feature has been improved (in Android) such that a light tap is an adequate switch.

@Dave Hooton thanks for the support. After posting this idea I emailed them a more advanced idea afterwards. It wasn't too long after that, they actually implemented the current system, where it leaves the abbreviation of the translation at the top and minimizes. That's what I had recommended for them to do. Though I will say sometimes it hides the bars when you don't want it to. so they did seem to eventually listen to the idea.
