Maybe Logos could add the iPod touch (with wifi access) to "The world's most popular Bible software is now available in the palm of your hand -- on the iPhone."

AMEN! AMEN! AMEN!
Bob,
Logos really needs to take Andrew's comment to heart and get us book content on mobile devices. I have tons of Logos books that I would just like to read. I don't need to have links and hooks to other content. I will probably never sit at my computer at home and read these books. I don't have a laptop and even if I did, it would be cumbersome to boot up and read in a great number of locations. Ah, but if my books were on a Kindle, Nook, or whatever e-reader, I could pull them out anywhere, anytime, even if only for 5 minutes while I'm waiting at the doctor's office, etc. This feature for Logos would be HUGE!

Thanks Dave, this is good. I have an Android, maybe Logos will support it as well...

Does Anybody know which bible they are showing on the Logos iPhone
website hat lets you tap-and-hold on a word and then it shows you the
underlying Greek or Hebrew word with it's parsing and morphology????
also, is there anyway to access a Hebrew Old Testament texts (the BHS
would be nice)??0 -
The BHS is available if you have purchased it, and does popup with the morphology and parsing. The Greek texts available (of which there are many) don't include the UBS4 or NA27 though.

If you have purchased a Logos 4 package then you will get this functionality in any Bible that has a reverse interlinear. Currently the only free reverse interlinear is for the Lexham English Bible.

How do I get my personal reading plan on my iPhone Logos app? All I see is a sort-of-generic one.
I realize that I am in the last month of a read-through-the-year plan, but it would still be nice to be able to access it on my iPhone.'

I realized comparing my library to the 3000 books available, that there's a lot that does not show up in my iPhone logos app, when it's supposed to be available? Am I missing something?

If you own Logos4, create a reading plan within Logos4. This will automatically sync to the server and then be downloaded when your iPhone/iPod Touch Logos app launches.
In short, you must have Logos4 to do this. If you do own Logos 4 and can't figure it out, let us know more about your particular problem

I do not have access to all of my library. I am looking for My Utmost for His Highest, but cannot access it at all from my Logos iPhone software. I have Logos 4 Scholar's Edition.

I had Logos 3. I upgraded to Logos 4 on Dec. 23. I installed the iphone app. I then created a few reading plans. But no matter what I do I cannot see my reading plans on my iphone. I called Logos support and he logged in as me on his iphone and did not see my reading plans either. Is this a bug? I would REALLY like to be able to make progress on my daily reading while out and about. Does anyone have any clue what might be the problem?

Is your Logos4 set to online mode? You get there via Tools | Program Settings | Use Internet.
I just want to verify that your reading plans on your computer are syncing to the Logos server.

I've updated the FAQs at the beginning of the thread. Additions and updates include:
Do I need to be connected to internet for the app to work?
Yes and no. You will need to be connected to the internet via your
cell phone service provider or Wi-Fi to access all the features and
resources of the app. With the release of version 1.2 we offer limited
offline reading support. To learn how to make a title available for
offline reading, please watch the tutorial video.Is there a list of all the titles that are iPhone compatible?
- We are working on a way to display iPhone compatible titles on Logos.com product pages. Until then, we have a text list of compatible titles as of 12/17/09.
Can I read my books offline?
- With the release of version 1.2 we now offer limited offline
reading support. To learn how to make a title available for offline
reading, please watch the tutorial video.
To download your resources to your device requires an internet
connection via your wireless carrier or WiFi. This feature is only
available to customers with a Logos 4 base package.
I'm a Logos 4 customer and I'm looking for (insert book title), but cannot access it from the iPhone app. Why not?
- We have either 1) not secured rights from the publisher to release
the title to the iPhone app or 2) have not converted the title to be
iPhone compatible. With over 10,000 titles in our system, both steps of
the process take some time.

use an app called my profiles on your iphone. it allows you to set all kinds of preferences and assign them to different profiles; such as church. I have one for chess tournaments that turns off all sounds and all vibrations but still leaves reception on. You can even set it so that when you go to a certain location, i.e. church the gps recognizes it and changes to a certain profile.

Quick question from a LONG-time logos/libronix user...

Possibly. Sorry I can't be more specific.
The iphone app was developed in response to market share. From that point, Bob has stated that they intend to flesh out the web based version at http://library.logos.comso that it will work on virtually any web enabled device (including droid). After that is "complete" they will investigate other platforms including Blackberry, and no doubt droid if it continues to gain marketshare.
Sarcasm is my love language. Obviously I love you. 0 -
I also don't have 26, 27 and 30,31.
The Touch Bible ap. has a good selection of basics for free or for as little as .99c a download- and they can all be read offline, even the free books/bibles! You could try while you're waiting for Logos to get up and running.

Rob Sherwood said:

Yes, you do. The free reverse interlinears don't display as separate resources. They
integrate with their corresponding Bibles. In the Cambridge Paragraph
Bible, touch and hold on a word and you get the reverse interlinear
data for that word.0 -
I just went to the Cambridge and you are right! How did you know which was a "corresponding" bible? Thanks for clearing that up - they are a great resource!

Rob Sherwood said:

There isn't a visual indicator in the app, but of the free resources, only KJV Cambridge Paragraph and LEB have reverse interlinear data. Here is a comparison chart that shows what interlinears are available in the different Logos 4 base packages: http://www.logos.com/comparison
0 -
Dave, that is cool!!! I was always using the ESV and didn't realize I had so many other bibles which had RI lookups that I could use on the iPhone, until I read the comparison chart. [;)]
By the way, I tried doing word lookups with the NLT bible (seeing that the NLT RI is available in my base package), and I ended up doing a word study in English. I wonder what's happening, perhaps Logos hasn't secured rights for the NLT Reverse Interlinear bibles to be used in the iPhone?

It looks like the NLT Hebrew reverse interlinear files are not available, yet, but the license is included (see note 1 on that page). I get the Interlinear in the NT but not the OT. You?

That's correct, the reverse interlinear NLT OT isn't completed yet.

Is there, or will there be a 'Collections' tab for the Iphone/Itouch? It gets maddening to keep searching the same books all the time, or doing several different steps to read the same books that I read all the time.

See the Recent Books tab in the Library view. If you read the same books all the time, they will be in that list.

Bob,
I bought the Logos 4 Scholars Library Upgrade to use GNT works on iphone and iPad. Unfortunately, the UBS publications have never materialized. I m referring to NA27 versions. Lexham is there but virtually unusable based up format issues. What is the problem with these?
Thank You,
Bryan Field

Bryan,
Try The Swanson New Testament Greek Morphology (UBS 4th Edition), which is the same text as the UBS4.

Bryan Field said:

Nope. And unless, UBS decides to be more open with their licensing, it won't happen.
0 -
David,
Yes, but having paid hundreds of dollars for the UBS versions in the Scholar's Library, I am reluctant to shell out more. To some degree it is an academic question. I have since purchased Olive Tree and now have access to a quite readable GNT, BHS and LXX with english meaning and morphology simply by touching the word on IPad or Iphone.
There are some features in which Logos is superior, for that reason, I wanted access to the works in the library in Ipad. If I had realized that these items were not available, I would have not purchased Logos 4 Upgrade. Oddly, Olive Tree have been able to secure the licensing.

I am not acting on as a Logos apologist on this, but they came into the mobile app department late in the game where as Olive Tree has many years of experience in dealing with this type of licensing. Plus where is the profit margin for Logos, Bob may be a Christian, and the company may be populated by believers, but they are a "for profit" company. While, some of us upgraded to Logos 4 because of the iPhone app, I suspect we are in the minority, so there is not really a reason to pull out all the stops and re-negotiate all of their contracts.
Just my thoughts on the matter...

One of the reasons Logos sometimes struggle to get licensing agreements that other people have already secured is that Logos are committed to 'pay once, use on many devices'. If the publishers won't agree to that clause, then Logos won't make the resource available on the iPhone. (That's the situation with the NIV, for example.)

So, NIV is stopped because of the type of licensing that Logos does? I must have missed that post, I thought Logos had been silent on the subject, can you point me to that post?

Terry Poperszky said:

I'm reading between the lines here. I could be wrong, but I can see no other reason.
- We know that the NIV is not currently available on the iPhone solely because of licensing issues.
- We know that it's not difficult to licence the NIV if you're a developer willing to pay the fee.
It's theoretically possible that territory issues could be behind the problem, but all the other iPhone developers have solved this. I'm sure if that was the issue, Logos would have solved it too. Therefore the only issue that I can imagine is Logos' buy once use anywhere policy.

It makes as much sense as anything Mark, no one else seems to have a problem getting this in a mobile application, I assumed that it was part of a larger licensing contract and that the sticking point was not just the NIV but was bound up in a bigger issue. Frankly, I have moved on, I love the L4 app and have no intention of ditching it just because it isn't mature yet, so I picked up another inexpensive Bible app for the iPad that gives me some missing functionality until Logos has time to develop their fully.

When you buy a book or Bible for other mobile apps, you pay for it. If you want to pay for it again on the Logos iPhone app, I'm sure we can secure licenses more quickly. What's more time consuming is coming to terms that allow us to let you view the book you paid for years ago on the desktop on the iPhone, without generating a new revenue event for the publisher.

Hey Bob What ever it takes to get our favorite resources to the iphone/ipad , so im ok paying for them again(i have most of them i just need few like Reina valera 1960)
0 -
Good or bad, right or wrong, I am anchored principally to the NIV. If obtaining the rights for the NIV on the Iphone and the Ipad is going to be an extended effort, I would unhappily pay for it again, if I had the choice. I know others who are not so tied -in and for other reasons would not share in this conclusion.
