iPad Verbum does not recognize prioritization limits

Brian Losabia

I have a couple of resources for which I would like to use Bible translations other than my preferred translation.  In the desktop apps, it's no problem to prioritize these translations above my default translation, and then make use of the prioritization limits to specify certain resources.  On the iPad version, the prioritization limits are not recognized, and all resources seem to be defaulting to this other translation for scriptural references.

Example:

1) Douay-Rheims - limit to references from Summa Theologica

2) NKJV - limit to references from When The Enemy Strikes (Charles Stanley)

3) RSVCE

In the above example, the RSVCE is my true preferred translation, although I would like to use the D-R and NKJV for a couple of specific books.  If I setup the above prioritization from my desktop, then when I next use the iPad version, the app will treat the Douay-Rheims as my preferred translation for all. 

Would it be possible for the mobile apps to recognize prioritization limits one day?  (The Android Logos app seems to exhibit the same sort of behavior re: prioritization.)

As per the discussion at http://community.logos.com/forums/p/35729/269946.aspx#269946 this issue is recognised by Logos and hopefully will be addressed at some stage.

It is true that the mobile app doesn't recognize advanced prioritization. The mobile app will only recognize the first resource in the list. Until the app is able to recognize advanced prioritization, there is a work around which will allow you to at least use your prioritized bible on mobile. Another user came up with this solution:

I found a workaround!  I should have thought of this - I just added an unnecessary Advanced Prioritization entry in my list using my default Bible! I just picked a resource to associate it with. Now my iPad uses the correct default Bible, and I didn't change the way the desktop version uses Bibles!

alabama, that technique from Don A. is pretty slick!   

Thanks everyone.  I'm glad to see that Logos might already be working on a long-term fix for this.
