DITTO! I have a Lumia 920. Love it and it would be complete if I could get Logos.

As Soon as Laridian get Spanish Bible Version, I will move to It.

As it had been mentioned already, before we have a dedicated application for WP8, we can use mobile version of Biblia.com. It works great and gives us access to our Bibles and the rest of our electronic Library. IMHO it looks a better interim solution to me then buying another library, just for my Lumia.

What I'm about to suggest isn't a great solution but it is better than just launching Biblia.com in your phones browser.
Check out the app "Web Apps". I made my own Biblia.com "app" that runs without the address bar and it also let me put a logo on it for a tile on my home screen.

I have also looked into the Laridian windows phone apps and I'm already interested. I hope Logos gets the signal that they should be looking into what their current and paid customer are asking for instead of market shares.
I like to carry all my Logos or at least a select books like I see in Laridian on my Windows 8 smartphone as an accessible quick reference.

Thank you Mark. I am anxious to see your application in the Store. I will let you know after I install it.
P.S. I think I misunderstood you. I realize now you are not speaking about the phone Store. OK. It would be great if you can give us more info about the application you use.

Bohuslav,
What Mark is talking about is the Windows 8 Phone app called "Webapps". You can download it from the Windows Phone 8 app store.
From the Microsoft Windows Store description of the app:
"WebApps is the best way to discover and pin mobile web sites on your Windows Phone........"
I have had this app on my phone for a while, but did not realize that I could use it to create/pin a mobile website of my own choice to my Windows Phone device without using the browser. I tried it with Biblia.com as Mark mentioned and I like it. It is obviously not as good as having a complete Windows Phone 8 app as it is just the Biblia.com mobile website, but I do like it better than opening up the web browser to access the site. I created my own custom tile and pinned it to my start screen with my other Bible apps and resources I use.
I have been using Windows Phone devices since the First day Windows Phone 7 was released in the US, and me and my wife both use Windows Phone 8 Nokia 920 smartphones now. It is the best mobile phone I have ever used, and I have been using them a long time. Really happy with it. I am hoping that as Windows Phone sales keep picking up that Logos will start to notice and begin working on a Phone app for the device. Sales have been encouraging as the latest IDC report shows that year over year Windows Phone 8 out paced both Android and Iphone in sales growth!

I like my Windows 8 phone and will just try to keep patient until the app arrives. Might looking at moving to the new Nokia 1020 phone next.

Thank you Eric for your thorough answer. I really appreciate it. And welcome to the forums [:)]
I share your excitement about the WP8 platform. After having a couple of iPhones, I switched to Nokia Lumia 820 and I love it. I hope that the new move of Microsoft with buying the Nokia Mobile division (announced a couple of days ago) will accelerate the platform even more.
...and hopefully we will see Logos application on the WP8 platform soon.

I fully agree. I have started using Laridian again because they are one company investing in the windows phone. I have found it easy to use with lots of good resources. I have been following the windows phone forum for years constantly living in hope, but I'm now really happy with Laridian.0

It might work for you. For me the only real option is Logos. So I will be patient. Till then I use Biblia.com on my Lumia 820.

I too am waiting impatiently (but hopefully) for a Verbum app for Windows Phone 8. The best mobile phone needs the best Bible app.0

The anti Microsoft/Windows people continue to spew their evil talk of hated but I an quite happy and satisfied with my Windows Phone and operating systems as others in this thread have also indicated. I will keep my Windows Phone and do without Logos as I have found other alternatives that provide comparable apps for the Windows Phone as Logos gets left in the dust. Two that are working perfectly for me are Laridian PocketBible and the YouVersion app from LifeChurch. Others who feel slighted and betrayed by Logos should check these two apps out immediately. Good luck and God Bless! [;)]

I would like to see the Windows app include the same features as the iPad app. I changed to Windows tablet so I can be more compatible with my work environment. would me nice to have my documents available in the Windows app.

I don't think there is any basis for feeling slighted and betrayed by Logos, I just feel quite impatient waiting... I am sure eventually WP platform will win Logos attention. It is too good to stay out forever.
