Bookmark Help

When I read a book on my ipad (6th generation), then close Logos, when I come back later to continue reading, the book goes back to the beginning page. I can't see or figure out a way to bookmark a page, so that when I come back to the book it's in the place I left off.

Does anyone know if there is a bookmark icon that you can click to save the place in the book you're at?

I am not sure why it is going back to the beginning of the book. Does this happen with every resource, or just one particular one? Is the resource downloaded?

I bookmark a book using one of two methods:

1) I save my place as a Favorite (tap the three vertical dots icon and choose "Add to Favorites"). Then, tapping the three horizontal line icon at the bottom gives me access to Favorites (and, more specifically the folder in Favorites called, "Mobile Favorites").

2) On the Logos 8 Mobile app, I can also save my place in a resource by using Layouts. Tap the "Tabs" icon followed by the "Layouts" icon in the lower right.

But again, the app should open to the last read page. So something is wrong there, and we'll need more information to figure it out.

Hi,

I also have this issue and reported it to support - not had much joy though.

The iPad app does not register what you read. Consequently you will go back to the first page and if you check in your library it will always show the resource as completely unread! It used to work but appears to have got broken with an upgrade. My pastor uses an iPad sometimes and has the same problem. It is rather annoying!

I've tried 2 or 3 other books and it does the same. I do have 2 of them download on my ipad, the other was through my wifi connection. For a temporary fix I'm highlighting a line so that when I reopen the book and I can scroll down to the highlight, delete it, and read on. One thing I noticed it does go to the last page on my iphone. Seem like it's the ipad that has the issue.

One thing I forgot, I am using the layout icon to open the book, but even if I close the app then reopen to the same book not using the layout icon, it goes back to the beginning, if that makes sense. It goes to the beginning no matter how I open the book.

I may have found the trick to getting back to your place (bookmark), at least on my ipad. When I go into the book I want to continue to read when I open it, of course it's going back to the beginning. In the upper left hand corner is a < symbol. If you click on that the book is going to where I left off. Don't know if that's a programming oops, or intentional to take you to the last place, but it worked for me. Hope it works for everyone else.
