It seems like a waste of limited memory space to require all three Logos iOS apps to download the same resources. Can't all three share the same data folder?

    Apple don't allow it, so it's not possible.

    Hi Keith

    Sorry but this isn't possible. My understanding is that Apple prohibit this type of sharing - but it's also true that the same happens on Android!

    The only approach I know of is to choose which resources you want to access in which app - if, indeed, you decide that you need all of them.

    No,unfortunately (depending on your point of view), iOS enforces strict "sandboxing", meaning that apps cannot access data files created by other apps.  From a security point of view, this is a good thing.
