This features Sync v2 for what had been the number one user demand -- notes and highlighting on iOS devices.
! SO glad to see this. [y]Even though I'm not an ios user, I know how vital this is.
Now then, you know I had to ask: Android too? [&]

Wow, just having trouble on the forums anytime I use my devices replying in the forums - can't scroll to put the cursor to make changes to my spelling mistakes... anyway, so apologies for the gobble gook, the above reply should read like:
I have trouble with 'the app does sync reading plans'. For just about a year there has no been any reading plans on my iPhone nor iPad that were created on my pc. I have made approx 12 different reading plans and NEVER have they showed up on my devices! They used to a year or so ago, albeit, with all the issues described in forums! How then can you say 'the app does sync reading plans'. Having a real hard time with that, real hard!
I have been in contact with customer service about this many times over the year, so you are saying your app does sync reading plans I am saying, customer service tells me they are aware of the issue and are working on it, as a user I have to say it is NOT syncing reading plans and I have yet to see a reading plan on my device in the last year!

Switch to the NON html editor. IOW a plain text editor. You can do this, intriguingly enough by clicking HTML in the toolbar of the editor. Sarcasm is my love language. Obviously I love you. 0 -
Bob, thanks for the honest and complete reply. Like the rest of the audience, I look forward to the release.
Peace, Bob! I also am pleased with your very candid post and your very positive response. Thank you! May God continue to give you courage and strength and endurance for the New Year and richly bless you, your family, and the Logos Team! *smile*Psalm 100:3

Thanks for the update Bob!
I live off my iPad now, and boot my PC only once evey week or two, depending on needs. As such, iOS support is important to me. I welcome the updates over the next few weeks. Its been a long wait, and for the most part, I've held my tounge and trusted the updates would continue to flow.
Thanks to the Logos Team for all the hard work, but do please keep the features and bug fixes flowing.

I'm still way too far behind using all the features I already have, but it's good to hear that Logos is improving steadily. Every new announcement is a wonderful reminder of the blessing that Logos is to us Bereans.

We haven't changed the copy on the app page because it's still accurate: the app does sync reading plans.
In theory but not in practice. If a bug keeps it from syncing then to say it syncs is a fallacy. It does not sync. I can prove it and you say you are affected by it too, Bob. I believe to be honest the copy would have to read, something like "in the near future it will include reading plan sync".
I appreciate that this is a big job. My hope is that this taught you all a powerful lesson that will affect your decisions going forward so we don't have such a horrible situation again.

Really appreciate the open and honest reply Bob, it does you and Logos much credit! Thanks for all the hard work. We may be an irritable bunch at times but most of us appreciate what a fantastic product Logos is. [:)]

Hi Bob,
Thanks so much for your hard work on this. I know that apps and software take a lot of intricate work to make something look so simple!
Praying you guys get the encouragement and wisdom you need.

Hello AllI have been following the discussions about reading plan sync issues for several months now as I have similar problems.I'm not sure who Bob is, but I appreciate his openness and his added insight in understanding the complexity of the issue. But most of information he shared had been shared in bits and pieces previously. His was a comprehensive package which pulled it all together.Another respondents comments has clarified in my mind that it is possible that Logo's didn't anticipate the speed (and possibly the volume) with which people are shifting from desktop devices to mobile devices.I do confess that I'm a Logo's customer only because of a planned transition from a desktop computer to a tablet. Shortly after Apple came out with the iPad 1, I knew that I was going to shift to a mobile device. At that time, I started research as to which Bible software company had or was developing an integrated solution (desktop and mobile).There was one other company that was equipped with an excellent mobile bible reader, however, their resources (books) were not as vast and they did not have the desktop part.I wish to say that the bible software provider that I used perviously had been the winner... but they weren't. As a result I stepped away from a significant investment to go with Logos. Last March I purchased an iPad 2.... with the intent of shifting away from my laptop. The first software installed on the iPad was the Logos app. Now I go for several weeks at a time without turning on my laptop.Long story short, I too am impatience, I wish I could have it all fixed now, but I must remind myself that my dislike about the current situation is really more about the trinity of self ( Me, Myself & I ).To help combat my impatience, I remind myself that the iPad app from Logos is "Free" where as it didn't have to be... The support and forums are excellent where my previously supplier was lacking due to more limited resources (much smaller company).Most of what I need is currently supplied by the iPad app, I know the situation and solutions will improve (snippets from the forums), and I know where I'll spend eternity.I ask myself.... what do I really have to complain about......Let us be gracious, as we have been the recipients of amazing grace.Regards to All,Thanks for your patience with my ramblings.Steve Prunty

anyone who thinks the iPad app is "free" doesn't understand business. It is built into the cost of the resources which are generally higher than paper versions and almost always higher than other digital versions. You pay for Logos every time you buy a resource. It's the razer v. blades method of business which makes Bob and Dan and their friends more money in the long run and helps them provide us with excellent software for the iPad, PC, Mac and Android. I'm not complaining about there chosen business model. I actually like it because it works for them and me. But I paid for Logos when I bought the Word Bib. Comm. and NICOT/NT etc.

Hi, I've started the "Read the Bible in a Year" reading plan last Jan. 1. All is great!
But now, in my iPad or iPhone, the plan only goes up to Jan. 15, Genesis 40-41. The app does not load any date after that.
Has anyone encountered this?

Logos 4.5 RC 1 released today! Hopefully notes and highlighting will come to iOS next week!

Hadn't read Bob's post properly and wondered why reading plans weren't syncing yet, but now I understand that these will follow ... soon I hope. [:)]
But I have been learning about the new mobile highlighting / notes and am very impressed so far with the almost instantaneous syncing between my iPhone and (Windows 7) desktop. Makes me very optimistic about the prospect of readings plans which will also sync promptly!
The logos app on my iPhone (2.0.1.1332) has crashed a few times with trying to add notes but I assume that may simply be teething issues?
Also the last few changes made on the iPhone have yet to sync to the desktop (or is this the issue Bob mentioned of changes being made at both ends ... but I assumed that'd go away with sync v2?)
Anyway ... thank you Logos for the work you have done to date on sorting out the sync issue. It is brilliant being able to see my notes on the iPhone! It will be great to have everything working to Logos' usual high standards and to enjoy having all the same functionality on the go as I do at my desktop. (Any chance prayer lists will also be synced anytime soon? [:D])
Keep up the good work!

It seems that one of my notes files is not currently syncing to my iPhone. I have two notes files that I use: General Notes and Translation Notes. The iPhone app crashed earlier (a few hours ago) when I was trying to add a note to "General Notes" and it has not synced either way with my desktop since. It may also be that I made changes at both ends before they had a chance to sync.
If I make changes at either end to the "Translation Notes" it replicates almost instantaneously.

Hmmm ... just found out that this issue is being worked on here (http://community.logos.com/forums/t/44520.aspx?PageIndex=2) so I'll just wait to see what happens.
(Just added a note to General Notes on my PC and it did replicate to my iPhone quite quickly but one created on the iPhone has not yet appeared - which fits with what is described on the above forum.)
