Can I look up Greek and Hebrew words in lexica while offline with my iPad Mini?
If you mean the "look up" feature, no. You cannot use the reverse interlinear feature offline… that function is performed on the Logos servers. If you mean "can I manually use lexica to look up words," the answer is yes.
Thanks for the quick reply, Alabama. I had hoped to be able to double click on a Greek or Hebrew word in BHS or NA to get to BDAG or BDB. But I'm far less impressed by what I can't do than I am by the wonderful capabilities of the iPad offline and on. What a wonderful traveling library! May God be thanked[:D]
If I'm offline then I use a regular interlinear eg. the lexham ones. These do have morphology visible.
Good point… yes they do. FYI - in L4/L5, you can choose to show or hide the various elements… on mobile, each element is "always on."
I know I am posting to an old post. I am trying to lookup greek/hebrew words as I read ESV on my ipad Logos App. I do not have a base package, but I don't mind spending $20-40$ on a resource. Is there some work around or another app I should use?
Welcome to the forums Adam!
I don't know if I fully understand your question... This thread is about looking up OL words offline... which isn't a current feature of the app. If you are asking about looking up OL words online, it might be good for you to create a new thread. I can't remember if there are any free resources which will accomplish this or not... typically, you would need to purchase a base package to acquire the reverse interlinears... which would be considerably more than $40. There are also "minimal cross grades," but I don't know exactly what you would need.
I had posed a similar question to Logos when I noticed the Strong’s numbering on the NASB95 resource only showed up in a pop-up of the resource and not when in the actual resource, (which I thought was weird because the selling point was that it HAD Strong’s numbering). I was informed that the IOS Application was designed as an on-line companion tool for Logos Library owners and the Strong’s numbering was disabled because Logos 4, (and now Logos 5), is moving away from the limitations of the Strong’s numbers and is focusing on the actual language of the text.
I agree with Steve Maling. Because I most often find myself with my iPad in a situation where Internet is not an option.
I think it would be outstanding if a standalone App, (one I would be willing to pay for), was designed to use the already imbedded hyperlinks of the resources, so I could use the books I already purchased to do more in-depth Bible studies offline.
