Won't Sign In This Morning

I opened my iPhone app and strangely, although I had been signed up earlier this morning, it asked for sign in credentials and has been spinning for the last few minutes.

Server problems maybe? If it is maintenance then it would be nice to have a heads up before it happens.

UPDATE: Shut it down giving up and restarted and working fine. Sadly all of my downloaded books are no longer downloaded. This is a real problem. This has happened a number of times and makes me think that downloading books is a waste as they will just get deleted soon when I am logged out.

I can replicate this, I just signed out to test it, and when I signed back in, I had no downloaded books.

Sadly,Terry it is intended to keep people from having downloaded content if they are not a customer. You could simply sign into another person's iPhone and download all your books and then sign out. If this was not part of the software, it would make it easy to steal. But as is usually the case, the anti piracy measure hurts the honest user more than the pirate.

I understand why Logos does it even if I don't like it. But I am pretty sure it is by design.

What I wish was that it would not delete the content after sing out, but just hide it somehow. This may not be very easy to do in the iPhone development environment. But there really is going to have to be some way to fix this as it makes downloading more than a few books a real problem since a small glitch like I had to day blasts away all my stuff. I was not downloading much because of repeated changes. But finally, after this update, I started downloading all the content I wanted and had spent about an hour downloading thirty or so books on Monday night. All gone now.

Makes sense, although making access keyed to the specific sign in, should be doable.

The iPhone isn't that much of a concern (at least not for me), now come April 3rd, I expect to be storing much more off-line content on my iPad.
