Suggestions (mobile): Sorting the library

Donnie Hale

I understand that this issue has been raised before. What was a difficult situation before (I had ~2,000 resource available on mobile, and I know many have a lot more) is now untenable with Perseus. I finished a book today and wanted to see what I would like to read next. I spent 5 minutes scrolling on an iPad and never did get beyond the Perseus entries in my library. There's essentially no way to better organize what I can see to try to find something serendipitously.

I know I can limit what's displayed with a search filter. I'll have a suggestion on that, too.

I know that people are looking for some of the "gee whiz" features like highlighting and notes; and I really want those, too. But it seems to me like basic "fit and finish" features like these which should be straightforward are getting neglected, and it seems to me that if the folks at Logos were using the mobile apps day in and day out for basic functions like this, they'd feel the pain that I (we ?) feel a lot more.

Thanks,

Donnie

I agree with you on the need for library filters - however, because the feature does not exist, I have used collections and tags to circumvent the problem. Therefore, the most critical items to me are those for which I have not found a workaround on ... like "search my content". I suspect many heavy users are in a similar situation - wanting most those items for which they have no work-around that fall into their critical path of use.

I've not had any luck trying to limit what shows up on the mobile app using a tag (e.g. "mytag:...") or collection (typing the collection name into the search filter box).

How are you doing this?

Thanks,

Donnie

Bumping my earlier question regarding this response.

Hi Donnie, try typing mono ANDNOT perseus into your iPad library. That ought to help you find something to read.
