Audio Bibles

Am I missing something here, or is there absolutely no way to navigate the audio Bibles on the Android app, other than by scrolling through every single chapter of the Bible? If that's correct, where's the best place to make a feature request for some kind of verse picker or index system on audio content? Also, you should be able to sync audio Bibles with your text Bibles and your reading plans. It would be so much more convenient like that.

Those are two different things, and I agree with both.

As far as I know, the only two "read aloud" audiobook bibles are the ESV & LEB. Both of these have an "official" audiobook, which does indeed "read along."

I listen to the HCSB in the car, and you have to scroll all the way through to find the place you want to start. Carla

Thanks. Hope they add a verse picker to mobile.

Yes, and my observation is that the CSB audio is the only one where the product page explicitly states that it doesn't sync with the resource text. (And that note might have been added only as a result of a forum question.) How would the average Logos user who has experienced Read Aloud with the ESV and LEB-NT, particularly one who doesn't read the forums, know that all of the many other audio bibles do not have this feature? By the way, as far as I know, the ESV and LEB-NT product pages don't mention the syncing.

I just purchased the David Suchet NIV audio bible and the CSB and neither one syncs with the text. Wow, that is disappointing and unexpected. Why isn't this being fixed???? I totally expected to be able to go to the NIV now and click listen and choose David Suchet as the narrator just like the ESV allows.

As a side-note, Windows now has amazing new built-in modern narrators, but Logos apparently doesn't utilize it. The narrator in Logos on Windows still sounds like it is reading from the 1990s. Another big disappointment. Is this being worked on?

I actually only wanted to quote your comment about the CSB product page stating that it didn't sync, because that stopped me from buying an audio Bible which in my opinion is about as useful as an ashtray on a motorbike

I can appreciate and understand your disappointment. However, there is a significant cost to creating that feature for any given resource.
