2 FEATURE REQUESTS: Manage Offline Books//View Parallel Resources

The Logos for iPad and iPhone App is great. Two features may make it even more useful:

 

First, the ability to view only those books stored on the device and manage them would be incredibly useful. Since many iPad users and most iPhone users deal with limited storage space, it would be nice to be able to go back and review the resources that are downloaded but have not been used lately, in order to maintain space on the device.

Second, the ability to view parallel resources from the Read view would be awesome. That way, while reading one Bible translation, one could maybe swipe up and "view parallel resources", and switch directly to another Bible translation from a popup menu without having to move to the Library view and search for their translation.

Thanks, Logos, for making such a great app, and I can't wait to see what improvements are in the pipeline!

    Hi Zac

    There isn't a perfect solution to the things you are asking for at the moment but a couple of workarounds

    You can do this if you put the iPad into airplane mode. Then all of the resources shown are the ones downloaded to your device.

    If you are reading in one translation and swipe up, you can then choose "Test Comparison". This brings up a window comparing your two five versions. Clicking on any of these will open that translation.

    I know these aren't ideal but they might help for now
