Android, Please!?!?!?!?

I am not into Apple products, so the ipod.... is not for me . I have ordered a Android phone from Sprint, and will get it soon. However, before I ordered it I made sure that there were Bible Programs for it and there are all kinds of them. It would be nice if Logos would put out a product for Android based phones.
God Bless

Logos will eventually release an Android version. They would be foolish not to. The numbers for the first qtr of 2010 shows that Android-based phones are still a fraction--9 percent--of the U.S. smartphone market, but they also posted the fastest growth of any smartphone platform over the last three months. Google and its partners gained 5.2 percentage points of market share from November 2009 to February 2010, whle apple was down .1%. Verizon's network has a lot to do with this.
And I am also not interested in a web based Logos. What will I do when I am up in Maine camping where nobody has coverage? If that is my only choice, i would prefer to go with another bible software package, while Logos is the best available, it would not be there for my Android? Maybe Olive Tree will suffice for now...
I only quoted this because it is information that a software developer should not ignore. I'm picking up my HTC Incredible this month and ditching my iPhone. [:)]

It's not clear to me that Logos is intent on producing a solution for any platform that works well in an offline state. You'd probably be frustrated camping with an iPhone too, since so much functionality depends on backend servers. I hope this changes, but the navigator is keeping the roadmap to himself. [;)]

Just upgraded to a Motorola Android phone through Verizon. When push came to shove, I opted for Android over Blackberry. So, please, Logos, when you can, make a Logos app available for Android.

Franklin Covey has a web-based platform for their plan plus online that works on iphone, blackberry, droid and palm. add my vote for an android user who wants to use with Logos 4. how long?

No problems with Apple. Just can't get the iPhone with Verizon...who does carry the Droid. So, obviously, I'd love to get one if Logos will support it.

I'd like to see an Android app too. Especially for the Notion ink which they will be bringing out in June this year.

The Notion Ink ADAM, which I love, is not coming out in June. They just said it's been delayed because of a problem with Flash. I think the goal is still to have it out by the start of the school year...which is probably when Google will launch their tablet as well. I am still holding out for the ADAM.

I'm open to logos oriented machine with the pixel qi screen. Something that will run it strong and be easy on the eyes. But this is probably dreaming.

Add me to the list. I'd LOVE Logos on my Android phone.

I'm sure Logos would love to put their software on multiple platforms. But right now Apple controls around 64% share of the Smartphone market: Which is why Logos is on Apple products and is slow to develop others. But, I'm sure that in time others will come (otherwise they wouldn't be asking for our input). It just has to make more bottom line sense than twenty or thirty people asking for it on a forum. That, of course, is just my guess (and I'm wrong a lot when I do that!)--I have no idea what Logos is thinking.

For what it's worth, as of last month Android users used more internet than iPhone users (that's not total users, but Droid users seem to be using their capabilities more than iPhone users). If I can find the article I will post it here.
No one can deny that Droid use is growing at a much faster rate than iPhone use. It is only a matter or time before there is a legitimate Logos Droid app. The problem with a Droid app is there is no standard for Droid. An iPhone app is an iPhone app, with Droid you have to figure if you are working on 1.6, 2.0 or 2.1 or whatever. Not all phones have the same OS or support the same OS.

In the US. And that's Apple's Keynote statistic. Worldwide, Nokia is the leader for smartphones, followed by RIM (Blackberry), followed by Apple in third:

With that said, RIM's new OS release is essentially a response to Apple's growing strength in the market.

Just cross-graded from the Motorola Droid to the Incredible. The chief thing lacking for me is a Logos App for Droid. That would make the experience truly incredible. I wait with bated breath (and am quickly turning blue).

I'd love to see logos available on this:
http://www.shenit.com/moonse-e-7001-7-google-android-1-6-ipad-tablet-slate-pc-umpc-mid-netbook.html
It would be my logos machine. If only it had one of those pixel qi screens.

Yes I agree whole heartedly! please consider making an logos mobile app for the android.
If you noticed HTC is hammering out so many devices this summer
especially with the biggest competition to the Iphone the HTC Evo 4g.
These devices are going to be running the android OS as numerous other
HTCs will be. This would be a huge market and know this will continue
to increase as more and more people leave ATT's iphone. I am getting
the HTC Evo 4g and would love to have a logos app for it. Please
consider Android which will be the best OS and most used from now and
into the future.0 -
When Logos offers an app for Droid (not library.logos.com/), I will buy two things: [1] A Droid and [2] more titles from Logos. Until then, it just isn't functional to be carrying around the laptop everywhere like I can a phone. I'd use it for reading more than searching.
The iPhone is out. Not buying poor cell coverage just to run Logos. Otherwise the iPhone would be fine.
So when the app is available for Droid, I'm ready for more Logos. In the meantime, I'll buy more paper and continue becoming less and less interested in Logos by the week.

Just saw that the Kindle App for Android's supposed to be released this summer. One down, and one (Logos) to go!

I'm a fan of KIndle on Facebook. But you can see the announcement on Amazon's Kindle Page at the link right here:http://www.amazon.com/gp/feature.html/ref=red_lnd_emwa?docId=165849822

Now I want to see a similar announcement from Logos. My Android Incredible is near-great. The addition of Kindle and Logos apps would give me everything I want in a mobile device.

Please make logos for android...

I am ready to buy a cell phone now. Would love for Logos to simply say, "Yes, we are working on Android app." Or "No, you better look at the iPhone if you want Logos on your phone."
The HTC EVO looks awesome and I would love to get that now, with the assurance that come summer or fall we would see an android App for Logos.
Thanks!

Yes we need Logos on Android phones as soon as possible. Why? Latest word is that version 2.2 of Android was released to the NexusOne (Google's phone) and for the other phones soon. This release is major and will take the speed and usability of the Android phones to a whole new level including voice guided GPS navigation and more. Also, they estimate over 65,000 android phones being shipped per day! Finally, because the development of Android applications is open and iPhone is not, the number of applications will eventually surpass the iPhone. Writing is on the wall... iPhone is the leader now but that position will be overtaken. Logos should be gearing up yesterday if not already to get an Androd version ready. Otherwise, folks will have to use other Bible products on their phones which is really sad.
I am currently a Blackberry Tour user and was waiting for the iPhone on Verizon. But Apple has delayed the offer to Verizon for so long that now I am preparing to purchase an Incredible after trying one for a few days. I no longer want an iPhone after using the Incredible. Oh wait, maybe I should thank Apple for doing us Verizon folks a favor. Thanks!
I vote too for Logos on the Android.

I am a Seminary student and a minister in our church which means I read a lot. I have just purchased Logos and so far love it. Also I am in the process of building my library and would love to have all electronic books, through Logos if possible. But what I don't want is to have to carry a computer around with me to read books. I have a Droid Incredible and can access through the web site material but I am not a big fan of reading on phone. I have been following the post on Android and iPhone/iPad, and like everyone else would love to see an app for Android. My problem is this, do I purchase an iPad that will do what I want but be limited in other areas (Apple closed platform), or hold our for an Android app and a good Android tablet (they are coming)?

+1. Logos for Android PLEASE!

In case you haven't seen the link for the survey that we have posted with questions about what app you would like to see next, here is where to take the survey. This is the best way to let your voice be heard as to what the next device is that you would like to see us make an app for. We have not set a date for a closing date for the survey, but it would be best to complete the survey sooner rather than later so we can calculate the responses and work on producing the next app.

Yes, yes, yes, yes and yes! We need/want the Android app ASAP. Any company whose motto is "don't be evil" ought to have a Logos app developed sooner than later. I'm lovin' my Motorola Droid (I'm one of those 'physical keyboard' people).
Love the work y'all do at Logos, keep it up and get us an Android app, please?????

Any thoughts on when the calculations of responses will begin? I have used the logos library and it is ok, but I want to be able to read offline. I have voted on the survey already. Please don't delay too long on this.

Having Logos with me on my Android phone (Samsung Captivate) would cause me to buy more content - especially inspirational books. To access my extensive library of books on Logos would be wonderful.
Please produce an android app!

Yes Android!
I filled out the survey.

Today, I am buying an Android. Today, I begin using Project Wittenberg, Project Gutenberg, etc. If Logos ever supports Android, I'll consider it then but I'm not waiting any longer. My bet is I use my Droid far more with Wittenberg than I do Logos on my laptop.

I agree with that comment, If there was a Android app I would have bought an android phone. Spotty coverage at best out in non-urban areas. Verzion covers most of the small towns I may have to minister in.

Barnes and Noble just released a Nook ereader app for Android, a month after the Kindle Android app was released. It's Logos' turn now!

I've taken the survey, but want to voice my support for Android as well. Android is now the number two smartphone platform and it's multi-carrier and multiple device offerings not to mention an easy to develop for open platform. Android will soon have RIM and Apple in a difficult position. I understand that there are a lot of potential devices out there, but Nook, Kindle, Windows Phone, and Apple are all too specialized to take off like Android has and continues to.
Please develop an Android version of the Logos App.

I live in a Verizon area, the IPhone doesn't work here. I have a Motorola Droid. Please, Please, Please release the mobile software for Droid. There is really no decent study package available for Droid.

Me too me too me too me too!
I am about to get a new phone - I can get an HTC Aria for free, or purchase an iPhone for 199.00 bucks. The only thing that has me hesitating with the Aria is the lack of Logos for Android.
PLEASE port Logos to the Android platform!

It sure would be nice to have Logos on the Android platform.

You can have Logos on the Android platform now. Just browse to library.logos.com in a browser on your android.
As you can see from my screenshots I am looking at it from a browser on a PC but this is what you will get on your android.

Yes, that approach has been beneficial to me on the Android. I've been able to read a good deal this way. And I appreciate it. But the ability to re-size and highlight would be wonderful...and that those highlights would transfer between my Droid, the server, and my computer. Maybe that can be done and I just haven't figured it out. Yet.

I don't believe highlight is available on this or iPhone/iPad app.
