Home Screen Feature Request

It would be nice to have the home screen of the Logos App to show the 3 or 5 most recent books you were reading. I like to use the app for reading required School books and Bible reading, but it is not always easy switching between them when you have to go to your library and type the name of the book you a looking for. Having your most recent books on the home screen would save a lot of time. 

Even being able to "pin" whatever books I wish to put on the home screen would be nice (if showing the most recent books isn't feasible)

Currently my home screen has three devotional books and five advertisements. I really think the home screen can and should be used for something other than advertising space and should be designed to be useful for the end user. Having devotional books on there is nice, but I would like to choose which ones show.

    Try History which is the "clock" icon at top right of Home page. Also available from the Menu >> More elsewhere.

    Thanks, I have not noticed that before. It definitely helps, but it still would be nice if I could choose what was displayed on the home screen.

    "Recent" will be a sort option on the library in the future.

    you can pin any book to your Logos taskbar (I think that is what it is called) by dragging its tab there. This is a rude manual method.  Sorry, I thought this was for the desktop version of Logos. Users have asked for a long time for revamped Library views, including a "recent" view.
