Android App on Windows 11??
Has anyone been able to get the Logos Android app to work under Windows 11 through the Amazon App Store?
Windows 11 (with a little work) can run Android apps from the Amazon App Store. (Not the Google Play Store.) The Logos app shows up in the store on my phone, but not when viewed in Windows 11.
(Yes, I know you can use the desktop software and use reading view, etc. But there are times when the simplicity and layout of the mobile app would be beneficial and preferred.)
Any insights?

No, but I have installed the iPadOS app on my MacBook. I agree with your position.

Every time I see a post title with multiple question marks, it reminds me of Jack Burns and Avery Schreiber...huh?, yeah, huh?, yeah.

Windows 11 (with a little work) can run Android apps from the Amazon App Store. (Not the Google Play Store.) The Logos app shows up in the store on my phone, but not when viewed in Windows 11.I believe, right now you are only seeing a very small subset of the Amazon App Store in Windows.
But as always, someone has created a workaround to install Google Play Store, see https://www.howtogeek.com/765131/how-to-install-the-google-play-store-on-windows-11/
I have done that and installed the Logos Android App, but have not tested it extensively. So far, everything seems to work, but the scrolling, at least on my computer was a bit slow. With other apps, I got some crashes, but then my computer specs are just below the official requirements for Windows 11.

I was able to run the app by installing it through ADB. Works well.

Wishing Faithlife would bring back the Windows Reader App that used to be available in the Microsoft Store (back in Win8 days).
Making Disciples! Logos Ecosystem = LogosMax on Microsoft Surface Pro 7 (Win11), Android app on tablet, FSB on iPhone & iPad mini, Proclaim (Proclaim Remote on Fire Tablet).

With everyone on Windows 11 soon being able to install the Android version through official ways, that seems even less probable now.

Seems like there was malware included in that script, sorry for recommending it. That link tells you what to do to get rid of it.

BlueStacks 5 is free and works well on Windows, and it installs it from the official Google Play Store.

In related experience, while considering side-loading Google Play on a Fire tablet and looking for the various pieces needed, I invariably ran into those webpages with a zillion 'download' buttons (yes, you've seen them), where it is very difficult to decide which is the correct 'download' button for the needed app or configuration. While I have no evidence of malware in those instances, they're hiding something. When I did stumble on the page with the sought 'solution', I frequently discovered the necessity of some kind of weird script executable or compiler called 'pi' or 'Ubuntu', usually on some arcane collection called 'github',

After some initial crashes, the app appears to works nice. Is really better for focus on a book reading.

I am using Mac, so have the iOS version, but I agree!

I installed BlueStacks 5 and then installed Logos. I opened a resource I am reading but my highlights do not appear in the Android App on my desktop.
Any ideas?

Make sure you have notes and highlights turned on in the resource's "View Settings", and that the app has had time to sync (you can check that by opening up Notes and seeing if they are there yet).
They work for me.

There are several threads with this topic. It seems that there is some issue, but don't know yet to what extent.

I'm new to this forum, but I'd be happy to help you out. It's great that you've discovered that Windows 11 can run Android apps from the App Store, but the Logos app may need to be compatible with Windows 11.

Even though it's available on the Amazon App Store for Android devices, it may still need to work on Windows 11. Some apps, like smart engines, are compatible with any system but can sometimes be different.
Try reaching out to the developer of the Logos app to see if they have any information on whether or not it's compatible with Windows 11.0
