Reading Hebrew in Android

Hi

When I read the Hebrew in my Android device, it has problems: mis-allignment of the pointing with the consonants.

1. Can anyone tell me how to fix it?  

2. Do anyone know that whether or not this problem also happens in Logos 4 when reading Hebrew in Android?

    Logos 4 doesn't run on the Android. I'm not sure what you mean?

    I think that if I upgrade to Logos 4, then the problem of reading Hebrew will be solved. You mean that the Logos app cannot run Logos 4 on Android device?

    Logos 4 runs on Windows or Mac on desktop/laptop systems.

    The mobile apps run on ios or android, so they are different applications which access the same set of resources (although some are not currently available on mobile devices)

    Does this help?

    But my problem is: I have Logos 3 runs on Windows. Then I bought an Android device and downloaded the logos app. Now I can access the resources in my Logos 3. However, when I read Hebrew, there is problem. So I am asking what if I run Logos 4 on my window and access this Logos 4 resources in my android through an app, would that make any differece in reading Hebrew, that is no more mis-allignment of the pointing with the consonants. I do not know whether this mis-allignment is due to android or due to the version of the Logos that I am using in my laptop.

    No. It will not help. Logos for android has yet to figure out how to display Hebrew correctly. It is a known issue.

    Until Logos finishes their Android App, you may want to try the "And Bible" which displays all their Bibles, Dictionaries, Commentaries and Books in 25 languages including Hebrew.  Since I cannot read Hebrew, I have not tried that language.  Since it is free, you could try it.  If it doesn't work properly, you can always uninstall it.  The "And Bible" also offers the Three Touch Verse Locator for rapid location of any verse.

    When Logis finishes their Android App, it will most likely be the best way to go for Bible Study as their PC app now is.  However, the "And Bible" would be a good stopgap until that happens.

    For clarity:

    What you have running on your laptop will have no impact on the way things look on your android device.
