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 recently noticed that this improvement has been implemented in the Android mobile app. Now I can copy more text than what is displayed in the window.
I find that some features like the guides are a bit limited on mobile compared to desktop. We now have desktop chips in these new iPads. Would be nice to see an iPad specific (more powerful / desktop-like) version for iPad. Please! Otherwise, I am left waiting for a touchscreen/detachable MacBook to take to church. Only…
Feature Request: Apple Pencil Integration for Logos on iPad Hello, I’d like to share a feature request that I believe would significantly enhance the user experience for those of us who use Logos on the iPad—especially those who utilize the Apple Pencil for study and note-taking. As a regular user of Logos for in-depth…
Hey guys. I would be keen for an increase over the current max 2x read aloud speed. My personal preference would be for the addition of 2.5x and 3x speed options, though some friends I have would like to see it increased up to 4x. This would very helpful when I need to skim through articles, dictionaries, books etc. It…
Currently, when checking for a Bible resource on a mobile device, Internet access is required to determine which Bible is the default Bible. However, on a desktop computer, this setting is saved as a setting in the software. This setting should be added to the mobile device software so that we are able to use our default…
Logos has the Sermon Builder, it would be awesome to have a Liturgy Builder! It would be great to add hymnals and other worship resources, track the use of Scripture uses in worship, and generally track the liturgies of a church. Please add!
