Library

Why is it that the amount of books I have in my L4 library is not the same amount I have on my Mobile App on my phone? I have 41 books total in my library on my desk top and 105 in my mobile app on my phone. I use the Logos app for android. How can I correct this if possible.

Welcome to the forums. Some books Logos can't download to mobile devices because of licensing rights. Some mobile apps require the user to explicitly download books for off-line use. So the answer depends on the apps and the resources - without knowing the details I can't be more specific.

Adding to what MJ said - Logos make available some free resources for the mobile apps (Android, iOS) which are not available in the desktop programs.

This is probably the major cause of the difference you are seeing.

Do you mean that someone may not have access to on their desktop application? I can't think of what resources that are available for free on the mobile app that are flat out not available to anyone on the desktop app.

He needs to purchase them even though they are free. There are a few Bibles in particular that show up on the mobile app when online that cannot be downloaded unless you have purchased them, for a price.

In relation to the OP's question Graham was meaning that resources freely available on the mobile apps are not necessarily free on the desktop.

Hi Dave (again today ,

So Enrico is seeing over 60 books more on his mobile. Most of us see far fewer books due to the licensing issues cited by MJ. So I might be seeing books on my mobile which are not available on my desktop and not noticed.

Is there any way to find out what these extra resources might be?

Regards,

David

I believe Enrico has access to that many books but only those that he owns are available on the desktop (whether free or not). As you have L4 Scholars** and a regular Logos account you should only have access to books that you own, with your mobile showing fewer books because of licencing restrictions e.g. with L5 Silver I see 35 fewer resources on the Logos app (the number shows at the top of the Library list of the Logos app on Android).

Are you sure you are seeing more (in Library) on the mobile?

One way to see free mobile resources is using http://Biblia.com as a guest.

Noticed six Bibles available at http://Biblia.com that are not in my Logos library: La Biblia de las Américas, Louis Segond, Luther Bibel (1545), Nueva Biblia Latinoamericana de Hoy, Podle Puvodního Vydání Kralického, and Reina Valera Revisada (1960)

Keep Smiling [:)]

Yes you are right through the biblia.com portol you are able to see free books that are not in your libarary on your L4 desk top. The books biblia.com allows to see needs to be purchased for your L4 desk top and that is why I noticed a differance. Thanks again for the info everyone.
