New iPad version enthusiasm and suggestions

There was an error rendering this rich post.

I am one who's complained in the past about how Word Info was implemented on iPad, so credit where it's due, the new version is fantastic! Great use of space AND reduces clicks/taps!
… but I'd suggest for Hebrew, slight reprogramming to ignore the waw and hay prepended to many words. No one ever needs to look that up, and the fact that it IS looked up means adding an extra tap when moving from word to word. Word Info shows a duplicate. I wondered at first why it was showing two identical words (per pic 1), both with possible expansion upon tap, but the first one is always waw or hay. Eliminate those, and it's one tap to look up a different word in a verse! Which would be fantastic!

Thanks again for this progress.
Pic 1, shows the duplicates of the word on the right, because Logos is counting hay as something needing parsing, requiring you to tap on the lower word to show info and avoid the word "the." Pic 2, shows the entire glorious thing on my 13" iPad!

Parsing AND halot!

this may be a silly question, but is there a beta program? I know this is the future release and I’d love to use this feature!

I guess? I updated via TestPilot.

This looks so much better. I love how the HALOT entry is "pictured" rather than the data being "copied over" into a new format that easily get entangled with left-to-right / right-to-left justification issues. Love that it has a link to search for the lemma. This is exciting, and I look forward to these changes hitting the stable channel. With the new release cycle, I know it won't be long.

The iOS version has come a long way in improvements and is very capable in its own right. I mainly use the mobile apps as a companion in my workflows with the Desktop version, serving as an e-reader and allowing me to look something up on the fly, etc.

With the improvements, I see myself modifying my workflows. This steady improvement in the platform makes the subscription totally worth it. It is sure nice to not to have to wait two years for the 'next release'.

If you want to join the beta, instructions are here.

Thanks for the feedback, Ben. We should be auto-expanding the first significant lemma in this example. We'll try to get that fixed.
