Using Logos Android app on Galaxy Tablet

Lee

Does anyone use the galaxy tablet running this Logos App?

Do you have problems?

I don't have a tablet but I am thinking of getting one. So I wanted to see how it is working for others.

I'm using the Galaxy Tab 7.7 Amoled plus running logos, no any problems, the screen very nice.

I have the Toshiba Thrive and Logos 5 works fine.  I have never had a problem on my tablet and I have quite a bit loaded.

I have a Samsung Galaxy Tab 2 7.0. No problems with running the "Bible", "Faithlife", or "Vyrso" apps. The only issue I face is the low 8GB storage space. If you get an Android tablet, ensure that it has at least 16GB.

I have the newer Galaxy 8.0 Note and Logos runs great on it.

It has the 16GB and Erwin mentions, but I only physically download to the device the books I plan to read offline.

I just got Galaxy Note 8 last week. I am still learning how to use. It runs logos real good' The reviews complain about it not being 1080p. I was concerned also. However the screen looks great to me.The speed is fast and efficient. I would recommend it,

My family purchased the Samsung Galaxy Note 10.1 32GB and it runds Logos great. I downloaded the resources I use most often, along with what I am reading. Use it pretty much anywhere. Only thing I wish is that they have a better way of taking notes. I really like that i can expand my tablet with a MicroSD.

Forgive me if this is bad forum etiquette,  This was almost the exact question I came to the forum to have answered.  I have a followup question.  My laptop may have just died, and I'm thinking about replacing with a tablet.  My wife has a laptop that I could still have access to, but I would primarily be doing my work (sermon and lesson prep, and currently a Hebrew class) on the tablet.  

My question is do you think a tablet would be enough or would I be frustrated with the limitations.  (I would get a keyboard to work with it)   Thanks

Hi Jeremy - and welcome to the forums.

To do the tasks you describe I think you would find the current mobile apps too limited so this - in my view - would rule out an iPad or Android tablet- based solution.

You can get the Microsoft Surface Pro which can run the full version Windows and Logos products and there are some discussions of this on the forums.

Basically, I think you need the full function Logos software, and you need to find a hardware product which supports this with a footprint you are a happy with.

It should run great. I have a Galaxy S4 which runs the same Touchwiz overlaid on top of Android 4.2.2 like the tabs.

But let me suggest a better less expensive option. The Google Nexus tablets are IMO a much better option. They are cheaper and run the very latest version of Android, currently 4.3. The Nexus 7 is the perfect size for carrying around. Feels like a small pad of paper. Put a Poetic SlimLine case on it and it feels a lot like carrying a smallish Bible.

The Nexus 10 is also a great device if you really prefer a much larger tablet. Both of the Nexus tablets offer a much better screen resolution than the Samsung's which means incredibly clear text.

The only reason to choose a Samsung tablet over the Nexus is if you want to use a tablet with a great stylus like the Note 8 or Note 10. However, the stylus won't let you ink in Logos until the company adds writing into their app, something I really hope they do but don't expect any time soon.

Having previously owned an iPad2 (with an external keyboard) and now owning a Surface Pro, I fully concur with Graham's advice.

Hey Kevin, I have a Galaxy Note 10.1 - they now run Jelly Bean - and although on the high end price wise (especially if you get the 32 GB) you won't be disappointed. I also like some apps will allow split screen (i.e. like Logos) so I can have the app open on one side and my note app on the other that I can scribble on. MyScript is a nice app for taking notes that does recognition to take my chicken scratch and make it nice and need. Unfortunately it doesn't have the ability to split screen but I have been talking with the developers to try and encourage it.

I still like the Samsung Galaxy Note over anything I have seen to date. Plust the 2014 models are coming out and will be a bit lighter, although I don't think they are that heavy (at least to carrying my laptop into church [:P]).

I have the Galaxy Tab 3 -10.1, app works perfectly and looks really good.

Thanks all I was really looking at the Galaxy Tab 2, or Galaxy Note 8.0

But my brother in-law sent me a Sky Vega IM-T100K, it has 16GB internal, 32GB microSD, it has a document viewer program that is working very good, so I can take Logos with me and have almost all books downloaded. It views my e-books which is really why I was looking into the tablets.

So I am very happy.

Best advice would be to call Logos customer service on this, I wish I would have before I purchased my IPad because it runs the free version only.

Welcome to the forums Dick.

All Faithlife's apps for mobile devices are free. They are just like the program engine on the desktop - useless without resources (which are not generally free).

Were you expecting the Desktop version of the mobile app? At present the mobile apps have some limited functionality but they are getting better all the time. If there is something particular we can help with just ask. Best to start a new thread though.

If you want desktop functions, all is not completely lost because you can still open Safari (other browsers are available) to app.logos.com and find something approaching it. The Web App program is 'semper reformanda est' or it seems to be.
