Will Logos 9 Desktop Windows run on Atom? Samsung Galaxy Book Go?

So, I'm trying out the Logos web app as I'm winding down the day and I have to say it has some really strong selling points. First off, I can use the interlinears with it. I was shocked. In regular mobile "mode" it does not show up, but if I choose the option in my browser to show the desktop version of the site, then the interlinear button appears and it works just like in the desktop program. 100% great. 

Searches are also very quick (at least while I'm in town on good internet - we'll see how it performs when I'm barely getting .5 mbps). They show the search results totals which is helpful. Using the word study and exegetical guides also seem to function nicely.  

Drawbacks:

It appears as if the links between two partial Bibles are not honored in the web app. I have an LXX Bible linked to a TR Bible so when I have say Rev 1 opened and go to Gen 1, it auto switches to the appropriate bible (in the desktop and mobile apps). It does not do this in the web app. Same for commentary series apparently. I opened a volume in pulpit and link them on set A with the NKJV, but when I go to different places in the Bible, the commentary does not switch to the appropriate vol, reference. It does do this with both desktop/mobile.  

I could see having the web app as a backup when I need to use some of the search features that are not available in the mobile. In fact, searching in mobile is abysmal, since I have a bluetooth keyboard connected, it has a glitch that requires I open the search, run the search, close the search window, reopen a new search window, run the search again from history and then it will work. Otherwise it gets stuck on "loading" and never actually produces the results. This does not occur when the keyboard is not connected, but I cannot use the phone without the keyboard when studying.  

Then again, because the web app requires that I have internet access, I'm not really certain if its any better than using google to look up passages and references. If the web app works so would google. In fact, I'm betting (your money not mine) google will be faster than the web app on .5 mbps. We'll see next week when I head back out. 

One BIG, BIG difference I see between web and mobile is highlighting verses/sections. It works very smoothly with the web app. I can use my mouse to highlight any part of the passage I want, even if it scrolls down below the fold. No problem. I cannot scroll with the up/down arrows, but using the mouse wheel works perfectly. I can even highlight hebrew and greek text (of course, not in the reverse interlinears). 

If they could just magically port all the functionality of the web app into the android app, while keeping the great features they have in the android app already, we would have something really useful on a mobile platform. Then they need to nix the requirement for an internet connection as I will never have dependable internet at my camp. It is too remote and way too deep in the woods. Then again, I never thought I would have any kind of internet at all out there, and thanks to my phone upgrade this year, I've been really enjoying .5 mbps all summer! Well, in some spots on my property that is! From my hammock, yes! That's really all that matters, right? All things are relative though. I remember when on dial-up it would take 2-3 hours just to download a single mp3 song. 

I couldn't switch entirely from mobile to web because of the non linking issues with commentaries, or partial bibles. But, I could definitely see using both to make up for deficiencies in both. Will depend on the performance with limited bandwidth. 

I assume you meant mobile does NOT do interlinears? Which is definitely not true ... it does them quite nicely. Better than the web app.  I mix and match them against the Accordance interlinears.

Actually, I mean the web app does do interlinears and the mobile does not. The only interlinear I can get to work on the mobile is a straight interlinear that is static. I can't change anything in it. The reverse interlinears do not work at all in the mobile. But in the web app they seem to work fine. I don't see this as working nicely. Unless I'm missing something and reverse interlinears now work on the mobile. The reverse interlinears were a real selling point for me when I moved to Logos from Accordance. I was disappointed when I moved to android that they didn't work on mobile. 

I'm not sure your point, again. On mobile, you 2-finger, to get the desired area to highlight. Not perfect, but mobile offers scrolling vs paging (a big coding challenge).

I primarily use a bluetooth keyboard with my phone, which the phone is attached to a phone stand so it hovers over my chest when I'm sitting/laying in a recliner or in a hammock. I only use the touch screen when I'm out in the woods or out and about in town and don't have my keyboard connected. With the keyboard the scrolling does not work at all in the mobile app with the mouse or the arrow keys. With the web app, I can scroll easily up and down with the mouse. I have to turn off scrolling and use paging so I can use my keyboard. It's really annoying. 

I know what you're saying about the two fingers to highlight and that works. But I can only highlight whats on the screen and this is a real pain when I'm trying to copy and paste a long verse or passage from logos mobile to my wordprocessor. With the web app, I'm able to go in and highlight with my mouse like I do in windows and can highlight as much of the passage as I want. 

You also implied limited mobile development? That's not quite true either ... they do minor bug updates, but the majors have some serious coding. My impression is it's aimed at the pastors and integration in a church environment (which I think is perfect ... obviously I'm not a pastor though). Now, admitedly I'm a big mobile critic ... largely gripes on navigation and verse-syncing.

I would definitely imply the development has stalled or crawls. For the price people pay for books and tools and features, it is ridiculous that there is not better development. Faster development. I used The Word Bible Software for years before my studies outgrew it and I have to say the development of a free program with only one programmer is much, much better and more responsible than Logos. Of course, I would say Accordance is much worse than Logos in this regard, so its all pretty relative. With Accordance I just kept getting the standard reply, "you can't do that with Accordance." More than frustrating! 

I realize I'm using an android phone very differently than most people. But I can't imagine I'm too far ahead of where everyone is going. I just wish they would put more effort into the mobile, or let us pay for features we actually want developed. 

But they do produce a pretty sophisticated product. Overall, frankly mobile is passing desktop, except in the tools area (which I don't use). Unless, I read you wrong?

I do agree the logos mobile on android is quite impressive. It runs circles around accordance for android and looks so much more modern than MySword. Nothing else on the market even comes close. But when I'm actually doing research I find problems with the functionality that should not be a problem for a paid app like this. Yes, I realize I paid for the desktop version. That's fine. Release a paid mobile version so we can get some traction on some feature updates already.  

I really hope you are correct about mobile passing desktop, but I'm not sure how you're doing the grading here. There are many features on the desktop that are simply not available on mobile (at least on android, I don't know anything about apple). And until they fix the basic function with peripherals, more robust search capabilities (and bug fixes), and reverse interlinear capabilities, the program will remain a toddler.   

I'm not sure what you mean by except in the area of tools. Are you referring to books and commenteries? Or do you mean features, like exegetical guide and word study? The former work pretty seamlessly between the desktop and mobile (except for the ability to use personal books on mobile), but the latter really suffers. The exegetical guide and word study are subpar on mobile compared to the desktop program. And not being able to run a word study on a phrase (or have a phrase study) is just silly (unless I'm missing a way to do this on mobile or desktop).   

If logos wants me to spend some money, lets crowd fund feature updates on the mobile app. I would rather spend money on that than on sub par commentary sets or books I have no interest in reading. Maybe keep the mobile app free but also offer a premium mobile app that expedites much needed features.
