Feature Request for Logos Bible Software
Subject: Add Auto-Stop Timer for "Read Aloud" Feature
Description: I propose adding an auto-stop timer to the "Read Aloud" feature in Logos Bible Software, allowing users to set a specific number of chapters (e.g., 1, 3, or 5) or a time duration after which the audio playback automatically stops.
Use Case: This feature would be incredibly helpful for users like me who enjoy listening to Scripture at night before going to sleep. For example, I often want to listen to 3 chapters of the Bible to unwind, but I fall asleep during playback, and the audio continues running unnecessarily. An auto-stop timer would ensure the audio stops after my selected chapters, saving device battery and creating a seamless, restful experience. This would enhance the app’s usability for bedtime study or devotion, catering to users who integrate Scripture listening into their nightly routine.
Benefits:
- Convenience: Eliminates the need to manually stop playback, perfect for nighttime use.
- Battery Efficiency: Prevents the app from running longer than intended, especially on mobile devices.
- User Comfort: Enhances the experience for users with vision needs or those who prefer audio to relax before sleep.
- Competitive Edge: Aligns Logos with other audio apps (e.g., podcast or audiobook apps) that offer sleep timers, meeting modern user expectations.
Implementation Suggestion: Add a simple dropdown or input field in the "Read Aloud" controls where users can select "Stop after [X] chapters" or "Stop after [X] minutes." This could integrate with existing reading plans or standalone audio playback.
I believe this feature would make Logos more user-friendly and appealing, especially for those who rely on audio for spiritual growth during bedtime routines. Thank you for considering this addition!
