Suggestion: Alternate App Icons (iOS; iPadOS)

edited November 2024 in English Forum

I don't remember if I made this suggestion publicly or not, but I would like to see the ability to change the app icon on the iPadOS version of the apps. This is an option, for example, on the Starbucks app. (Currently I have chosen the "Holiday" themed Starbucks App icon).

My personal primary reason is to differentiate the desktop app from the mobile app on my MacBook Air (Macs with the M line of chips can run iOS apps). From my screenshot, you can see that it is hard to distinguish the two apps. 

As Apple continues to migrate away from the Intel chips, I assume this will become a more common issue. However, many users might enjoy having options such as "bible" icon.

    Strange as it may seem, this thread sold me on getting an MBP-14. I was wildly bouncing between a micro-game-machine for Logos (high-powered 7"), or a Panasonic Toughbook. But using my mobile apps was/is a major benefit! I added an MB in my Costco shopping cart ... the door checker was suspicious.

    Next, I converted my Bibleworks to add to my Accordance, loaded that, and then happily loaded my 2 mobile FL apps. I haven't loaded Logos itself, since I can't control 'how much' ... Accordance lets you choose from the start (runnung all cellular).

    So. Obviously, these Logos icons will become a problem! I'd think for simplicity, mobile should change theirs a bit? User-changing would be beyond their list of priorities? They seem resource-limited.

    This is not a high priority item, but I wonder how difficult and time consuming it would be. If not too bad, perhaps it can be added into the OmniBill of "to do" items. [:)]

    Just to clarify: This is an M1 MBP, right? Mind adding one in for me? [:D]

    Starbucks is kind of neat. I like the holiday one.  That does open some interesting possibles for Logos. Denomination symbols would be interesting.

    I don't have the mobile Logos app, but I think there's 3 similar icons (to include Biblia/spanish).

    Yes, under the pecan pie was a BMP/M1. Like my previous PC, I'm hoping it'll outlive me. Ha.

    I would like to vote for a 'Heretic' badge. Especially if one could apply it to others.
