Okay, so there's no simple answer that kind of a question, but I'll explain what I mean in asking it. For the most part I enjoy the PC and Mac versions of Logos 5, but whenever I pick up my iPad or iPhone to follow along, I find myself constantly annoyed at how it's designed. I've been using it for a long time and it does allow me to do a lot from a practical point of view. So that's good. And for things I feel need adjusting I have cast my few votes on a number of suggestions which I'm sure will be heard.
But the app really does cry out for a full redesign. I don't understand why the iOS apps lack so much of the basic functionality the computer versions do. And I know it's not because of technical limitations. Although I could, I won't list every difference because it takes about five seconds of looking at a computer version of Logos to see the giant gulf between the two. Under iOS we have no book organisation system, barely any way to prioritise resources for study, and a UI that has looks and operates like its been designed by 12 different people, to name a few.
This post isn't a flame bait or a "I don't like the app because it lacks my favourite feature" rant. I just feel like the iOS apps are by far the weakest part of the Logos lineup. For something like Faithlife or Vyrso, the current apps do the job. But other developers put the iOS version of Logos to shame. It feels like a badly designed toy by comparison. There's just no need for such a dumbed down version, and is why I hope the Logos devs are thinking hard about starting one from scratch. If they aren't, then hopefully this post will make them consider the idea.
