[Bug] Unable to copy Bible reference in mobile app without hyperlink

Carl Thomas · 2025-04-02T13:41:31+00:00

There was an error rendering this rich post.

I know this was asked about in an earlier post but it is still there. Copying the bible reference is a pretty core function of a bible app and it's been more than a month. Is there any progress in getting this to work?

For those not familiar, at least in my version of the android app, if I copy a bible verse, it only copies the text I highlight without any bible reference, the only way around this is to enable hyperlinks. But in my bible study chats for my church, those wihtout Logos are taken to a signup page which is not what I am trying to accomplish.

Do you use the Crtl,Alt,b key stroke? That opens a tool for me to insert verses. I don't think I have ever seen hyperlinks.

Below is what I get:

John 1:1 (KJV)

In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.

I am talking about on the Android app.

Dealing with the same issue. I use the iOS app on my iPad and at times do not have an internet connection so citations do not work. This used to not be a problem and a verse would still copy with its chapter and verse reference like this.

“Psalm 40:9 (ESV): 9 I have told the glad news of deliverance in the great congregation; behold, I have not restrained my lips, as you know, O Lord.”

Ever since the inclusion of the citations if I do not have an internet connection verses only copy as text with no reference like this.

“I have told the glad news of deliverance in the great congregation; behold, I have not restrained my lips, as you know, O Lord.”

I liked having the reference at the front of the verse for my notes, and know that the citations put it at the end, but really wish there would be a reference when you copy a verse no matter if you have citations on or off.

I tagged this post with Bug. Citations do not work properly on mobile when the device has no Internet connection.

@Carl Thomas You should find you no longer need to enable hyperlinks in version 41.

@William Delahay @Aaron Hamilton We have opened a ticket to improve offline citations.

Thank you but one cavaet, before the bug, and in line with convention, Logos used to display verses with the reference first:

Proverbs 22:22–23 (NASB 2020): 22 Do not rob the poor because he is poor,

Nor crush the needy at the gate;

23 For the Lord will plead their case

And take the life of those who rob them.

Now it displays:

22 Do not rob the poor because he is poor,

Nor crush the needy at the gate;

23 For the Lord will plead their case

And take the life of those who rob them. (Proverbs 22:22–23, NASB 2020)

Reference at the end. I'm assuming I don't need to explain to the folks at Logos why this is wrong.
