Default Bible setting on mobile devices should not require Internet access

There was an error rendering this rich post.

Currently, when checking for a Bible resource on a mobile device, Internet access is required to determine which Bible is the default Bible. However, on a desktop computer, this setting is saved as a setting in the software. This setting should be added to the mobile device software so that we are able to use our default Bible along with the rest of our downloaded content while our mobile devices do not have Internet access (on the subway, on an airplane, etc.)

Hi @Chad Katter

Please provide a few more details.

I've just put my iPad into Airplane mode, started Logos and was able to link to my default Bible from another resource.

Were you trying to do something else?

Hi @Graham Criddle

I use Logos on a Google Pixel 9 Pro XL with Android v16. When I click on a Bible reference from another resource in airplane mode it will show a "not available" message. When I click on a Bible reference from another resource when I'm on the subway between stations it will search for a minute or so and then time out, unless I've reached the next subway station and reconnected to the Internet before then.

Do you have your preferred Bible downloaded to your Pixel device?

And, yes, I agree that the Logos app can struggle if it thinks it should be able to connect to the Internet and can’t - such as the scenario you describe

Yes, I have my entire Logos library downloaded to my Pixel device, including my default Bible.

Liturgy Builder
Logos has the Sermon Builder, it would be awesome to have a Liturgy Builder! It would be great to add hymnals and other worship resources, track the use of Scripture uses in worship, and generally track the liturgies of a church. Please add!
New feature/tool: Custom Arrangement of Scripture Text (CAST)
I have an idea that I would like for you to consider adding to the software. I have tentatively labeled it as "Custom Arrangement of Scripture Text (CAST)." This would be a user-editable framework into which any available Bible could be "poured," if you will, so that the unedited text of that Bible would be re-ordered so…
Mobile Corresponding Highlights
Hello! Corresponding highlights are available on the desktop version of Logos. I believe it would be a tremendous advantage to have that be available on the mobile version as well. For example, if I highlight a text in a Spanish Bible, I would love to see it reflect on an English Bible. This is true of the desktop version…
Sermon index
@Mark Barnes (Logos) When you created Scripture Index to Keller's Sermons (fully functional) - Logos Community, you recognized that in incomplete nature of sermon labeling limits the usefulness of the Sermon sections in various guides. I suggest that you use your work around to build a Logo feature to truly tie sermons to…
