Difference between Android and iPad mobile versions

I am running the following versions (latest version of this writing) of Logos Mobile:

Android: 41.0.0 (1410000038)
iPadOS: 41.0.2 (1)

While 90% of the functionality is the same, I notice the following differences:

  1. On iPadOS, when using a Bible reading plan, I can set the reading plan's panel link set, thus my other panels set to the same link set follow along. While link sets are available on Android, this is not possible on the reading plan panel.
  2. On Android, I see my church's presentation (we use Proclaim). On iPadOS I never see any presentation cues even though I am following the same presentation group on both devices.
  3. On iPadOS, sometimes the setting of a highlight takes 7 - 10 seconds to set. On Android it is always instant. I have found the solution to be to close the Logos Mobile app and restart it. I haven't paid enough attention as to whether this is only when coming out of sleep and the app was already running.

These are the major "issues" that "annoy" me on a daily basis.

Anyone else have any differences you can point out?

    There should be many. Note that there are (to the best of my knowledge) four different mobile apps since the features differ not only between the mobile OS, but also whether you run them on a tablet or phone.

    One that comes up quite often in the forum - and really the only one I know of where the Android version has more functionality - is that reporting typos works only on Android.

    On a related mobile matter, Logos no longer works on my Kindle, as Logos haven't updated to work on the latest software update of Kindle.

    @Paul, I had that experience about a week ago. I was quite frustrated! Then a day later it was back! Woohoo!

    The ironic thing was I had, only a day or two before that, the same experience with another app on my Kindle Fire HD. It left me thinking that this was more a Kindle problem than a Logos problem.
