Using the Mobile App on macOS (M1 chips only)
Here is a screenshot of the iOS version of the mobile app running natively on my MacBook Air (M1). The app is maximized on the left hand side, with a maximized copy of "Pages" running on the right. The mobile app is not currently "optimized" for the Mac, but this is promising. (The screenshot is blurry unless you click on it).

Highlighting and turning pages in paged view are a bit tricky but can be done.
Two finger swipe moves between tabs (open books). To turn pages, click the trackpad and then use a one finger swipe. To highlight, click a word, pause, then drag.

The icons are nearly (but not quite) identical between the desktop and mobile versions. I understand why FL would want to keep the icons similar, but it would be great if we could change the icon. I don't know if it is possible for an "optimized" version to automatically use a different icon when installed on Mac. If so, then this is a request to do so. [:)]

Well, maybe. since I don't have the desktop version. But the Mac-Mobile versions are definitely alike (Logos and Biblia). I'm not sure what the Verbum looks like, but I assume there's no clue which is which, beyond a mouseover.
Ok, back to

I only bumped it because a windows user wanted to do the same with android. It would be nice to be able to change the icon.

I didn't realize you'd sort of created a small guide for the mobile-on-Mac. Thank you! I'd sort of tried this and that.
While I was off-line, I learned a trick to not have 8-9g of stuff downloaded on cellular ... start up offline. It'll try to prep the library, then give up. Then it says start without downloads. Yes! And sure enough, I have a Verbum and no library (good ... download as needed). If instead I startup online, it wants to force a big download (even though the guide on Logos.com says you can start up with no books. I can remember the day, autumn finally arriving and the new L4 announced in 2009 ... with forced downloads. Bob's lived in our doghouse for the next 12+ years. Until today. He can get out, now.
OK. Back to BUMP again.

Which part? The icons? Now that Feedbear is using single sign on, I might.
