Make it possible to easily select text across page boundaries on the mobile app. The Kindle App handles this well.
On a small phone screen (especially with the new Insights Menu which takes up half the screen and stays on by default!) I often NEED to select a sentence or paragraph that is too big to fit in the screen and runs off the screen, whether it would be to:
To do that, I would need to make an initial selection, scroll, drag the selection handles, scroll, drag the selection handles, etc.
This works perfectly in iOS (and virtually every other app on every OS). The problem is that with Logos on Android, scrolling clears the selection handles, which means that I am always limited with what I can select to what is initially in view.
This is a major limitation, and I can't imagine I am the only one to think so. It made Logos completely unusable for me on Android, due to the number of times I needed to select something larger than the screen. For this reason, I had to switch to using an iPhone, and every day I wish I could go back to Android, were it not for this flaw with Logos.
I believe I have brought this up multiple times, in emails and perhaps on the forums; I can't find it on the forums if I did. In 2019, you wrote, "This is a known and reported issue. This has report has been sent to our development team and they have are now working hard to create a fix." I thought I was told at one point something like "Android (as an operating system) doesn't allow this". I don't believe that—I think you can figure it out!
With improvements like adding sermon builder to Android tablets, I want to move back to Android again. Please address this very basic and very important issue.
Thanks for considering.
I see you moved my suggestion (above) with this suggestion and it is now “in progress”. I am thrilled! Can’t wait to get an Android phone again soon!
This seriously defeats the purpose of the app. The reason I purchased Logos was to streamline my Study, lesson and sermon prep time. To use Logos to its fullest I understand the desktop will usually offer more functionality. However, in our current era mobile devices are the go to for a growing majority of us. This issue should have been fixed long ago.
This is not a crazy request. This is a basic function of, well, every text manipulation app or program I can think of... So why are we still struggling with this Years down the road? I get that AI is the newest thing and everyone has to rush to integrate it into their platform, now that we have that(a feature I do not appreciate or use knowingly on any platform) Could we possibly fix this basic issue? This defeats on the fly note taking and passage highlighting.
Many on here myself included are being forced to use a FREE program to select Biblical text for utilization while paying to subscribe to a program that promises to integrate all of our search and study resources into one platform. This undermines your marketing by the way. When you advertise for upcoming amazing features I always think, "You mean like text selection?? I will be able to highlight words on the digital page?!"
I purchased ten, I signed up for your newest income generating model of the subscription service. Could we possibly get this basic need met? I assure you it would go along way towards making myself at least (and possible quite a few others) feel both heard and appreciated as loyal subscribers.
I believe there is some value in updating the Explore section with tiles based the users Library but in the short term it would be great if I could dismiss tiles. For example the "Top 10 Free Resources" Tile. I have all of these resources and yet the tile is still there. It would be great if the tile knew my library and…
I was excited to see the New Cambridge Bible Commentary in pre-order from Logos. One of my courses requires me to purchase the commentary on Luke from this series and I noticed it was missing from the Logos set (where I would much prefer to purchase it). Is there a reason for this (ie: Publisher did not want them…
It would be nice to be able to sort smart Bible searches. I like that I can save them as a passage list and then sort them, but one less step would be ideal. I came across a theme in Ezekiel 20 of God's name and I wanted to see how many times this idea is in Ezekiel. Smart Bible search was perfect for this!
