Unwanted synchronizing between desktop and iPad
Since both God and Bob Pritchett say that we are one, we both use the same Logos account.

When my wife opens Logos on her iPad, ESV displays the last reference I accessed in L5 Mac. How do we un-synchronize this unwanted behavior?
The direct answer is that you can't.
The nuanced answer:
- You can turn internet off on the mobile device OR the desktop computer.
- You can choose to use a different translation.
- You can acquire a new account & resources.
Those are really the only options.

I agree... so why rebel?

Won't she be surprised when you start preaching and teaching exactly what she was looking earlier in the week. [:)]

Annoying if she is on page 55 while you are on page 150....

If she is only reading on the iPad, you could always install Vyrso and let her read on that. I don't think it opens at the last place you were in on Logos - too late at night here to test it now, but it might be worth a try.

That would work except the second book is the Ryrie Study Bible with the two panes synchronized [8-|]. Having a resource open to the same place it was opened on another device—especially a Bible—is not really a good design even for a single user. This is supposed to be a Bible study tool, not a plain vanilla ebook reader.

Why not? Many/most users want to move back and forth between desktop and mobile seamlessly... But the mobile app doesn't actually do a very good job of that.
I do have a solution for you... if only Logos would implement it. [:P] It is actually part of a larger suggestion / philosophical argument I have been making for some time.
- On the desktop app, the concept of "projects" should be implemented. The term "layout" should be repurposed to mean the shape and pattern of resource tiles.
- A "project" is related to resources open and location info, as well as things like passage and exegetical guides.
- A user may choose to open a "project" in different layouts. This especially makes sense when moving between a 13 inch laptop; a 27 inch desktop; and a 5 inch smart phone. The shape, pattern, size and location of the tiles will naturally be different on those various devices... but when you are working on a project, you want the same resources & guides available.
- In terms of mobile, I suggest that projects be able to be accessed... but that a default project be able to be chosen per app/device. In the case of you and your lovely bride, you would set up a project for her, set it as the default for her device, and the sync info would always stay with her.
