SEVERAL Verbum and app.verbum.com BUGS in new Factbook features

OK, I have thought for awhile that the new Discover lens and the 'Store' icon were not working properly in Verbum/Mac - new features in 45.0. I can't get either to show up!

But now I have narrowed this down to show that something is broken only on the Verbum/Mac app (don't know about Verbum/Windows) and app.verbum.com

So here is my Verbum/Mac desktop app, the Factbook entry for God's Attributes, Books section, 'All' lens (top right corner). Some have said the setting 'Prefer Local Data' matters; in testing I found that the result is the same whether Prefer Local Data is NO or YES:

Notice the book section has no Store lens in it.

Now here is app.logos.com on the web:

There is a Store lens, and there are in fact many resource entries in that section!

But to show this is NOT any kind of setting or corruption in the Verbum app on my computer, here is the same factbook entry on app.verbum.com, and voila - no Store lens!

So both the Verbum/Mac and app.verbum.com show non store resources or lenses.

Next, here is app.logos.com with the new discover lens selected:

But here is app.verbum.com (which matches Verbum/Mac) with the Discover lens selected - no results!

So, there is basically no Store access in any Factbook lens, and the Discover lens itself is always empty, in both app.verbum.com and the Verbum/Mac app.

I hope this can get fixed!

Windows App, Verbum 45, German UI shows the Discovery lense:

BUT checking on this, I found that a work by von Balthasar is correctly categorized as Catholic, an other work (from the same series!) is not:

@NetworkGeek in testing I found that the result is the same whether Prefer Local Data is NO or YES:

Did you close and reopen Factbook after changing that Setting? This message appears at the bottom when Local Data = YES.

(you can compare values if you open another Factbook from the App toolbar after changing the setting).

But I see Store in the Books section irrespective of the setting in Verbum/Windows.

Yes, I thought I said that, but I may not have shown the images with Local Data=Yes. Here they are - nothing in Counseling lens, no store lens in All lens.

And to repeat, the same thing shows up in app.verbum.com, but NOT app.logos.com - which does have store entries/lens under Counseling/All→Books.
