Summary:
- Links to Media Resources provide no hint of what is linked other than a tiny thumbnail (no metadata).
- Links to Media Resources appear to hang app when touched (can be LONG download delay, but no wait / progress symbol)
- Media Resources are too small to read, because not zoomable/scrollable. Especially bad for "portrait" size resources viewed in landscape mode
This is a key example where modifying the viewing engine to allow a certain amount of zoom/scroll is crucial. At the very least, the user should be able to zoom/scroll on photos and other images.
------------
To set context: I went to NKJV, Philippians 4:4. Used menu->passage guide, scrolled down to and touched to open the "Media Resources" section.
Touched on the second resource...
- First, there's no popup or other hint to suggest what this resource is. And it is unreadably small. Now that I see it, I know it is from the Logos Hymnal... but I had no real clue before that.
- Touched the resource, and the app appeared to hang completely. No "wait" or "progress" symbol.
Once the media resource appeared (Logos Hymnal Media Resource, "Pass Me Not, O Gentle Savior"... but doesn't really matter)
- It is a graphic, too small to read
- I expected to be able to use a gesture to zoom in/out to actually view it. Not available.
- Flipped to landscape mode hoping (as with other apps) this would expand my view and make it more visible/scrollable. Instead, the entire page is squeezed down to a tiny thumbnail.
- Tried adjusting Text Settings size. That has no effect either.
Now have tested with a variety of media resources (going directly into the Hymnal Media resource, the various Logos map sets, Bible illustrations, etc) All share the same challenges.
