I often need to work fully off-line in the iOS mobile app (and MacOS desktop app). I was able to download my entire library (except for some books apparently because of some internal technical issues).

How/where/what can I configure/download to have locally all of the app‘s features, dynamic content and system libraries etc. in order to work fully off-line in Logos Bible Software and Study Bible apps?

Thanks dearly.

    You can't on mobile.

    Unless you have a fairly small library, this is not recommended on mobile.

    Welcome to the forums.

    Whether or not it is reasonable to download all texts depends upon the size of your library and the size of the device. The yes/no decision is not a feature per se but a function under the user's control. The standard advice is not to download your whole library because that is the most common situation but it certainly is not always the case. However, some features require that you be online so downloading your entire library does not mean you can access all functions.

    Orthodox Bishop Alfeyev: "To be a theologian means to have experience of a personal encounter with God through prayer and worship."; Orthodox proverb: "We know where the Church is, we do not know where it is not."

    I'm not hear to argue against your belief. The issue, however, is that the app is prone to corruption and there can be real headaches and issues by doing so. 

    Since the app is designed to be used online and many features (including library search) are only accessible online, there isn't a great rationale to download one's entire library for most everyone.
