Android, Please!?!?!?!?

But it would be nice. No?

The one reality that gives me great hope is that Android is expected to surpass iPhone world-wide in 2010.  So, it won't be long...  See "Apple faces far-reaching foe in Android" at http://news.cnet.com/8301-13924_3-20016163-64.html

Basically Android is much less expensive and so much more widely available in more markets - hence a much faster development curve.  With tablets and everything else - it's clear that the PC is going to be less important over time - especially for sermon development and writing.

Nothing against Android getting an app, but in an effort to keep things in perspective; Gartner is the same company that in 2006 predicted that Windows Mobile 5 would be the dominate mobile platform in the next few years. To predict anything in the tech sector, one that is so volatile and prone to rapid change (or any sector for that matter), four years out is nothing more than wild guesses.

Keep in mind, four years ago iPhone did not exist nor did Android. Who is to say what the next four years will bring, except tremendous change in the tech sector.

I have a HTC Evo 3G/4G and I would like see Logos 4 app, pleas help.

Here is one more request for an Android app.

I agree, I want better coverage-something AT&T does not care about. I have the iphone but will buy an android device when I need to upgrade. Please develop an android app.  Thanks 

I have been begging for an Android app too. Finally, I went ahead and bought the Droid X, which I really like. I am reading so much more now. I dislike telephones but one needs a phone...so you may as well be able to read on it. I am always able to read now, whether a novel on my Aldiko or Nook Readers (on the Droid) or, often as not, from my library on Logos. CBD has just released a similar web-based reader.

These web-based readers work great. As yet, I've had no problems accessing and reading. I must say though that I love to mark up a book — at least commentaries and theological works. I want to be able to find things easily later and the highlighting and notation helps me think and remember. The ability to do those two things would make reading on Logos and CBD so much better.

Now, having said that, I don't know if the iPhone app allows these either. What does the Logos app do that http://library.logos.com/ doesn't?

I finally broke down and bought the newest droid.  Pleeeeaaassseee make an app.  It seems kindle and nook have done so. I'd love it.

There is every indication from Logos that Android is under active development.  Follow Dan Pritchett's twitter feed and you'll gain insights every once in a while.

Just another sign post of the sea change:

Just got the Droid 2.  It is far superior to iPhone or Blackberry.  PLEASE come out with Logos for Android!!

One More Loyal Logos customer missing only one application on his DROID X: Yes, you got it LOGOS.

I know that LOGOS 4 was developed using WPF (AND man does it crawl on windows XP compared to windows 7 because of that) but this hsould be the highest priority project.

I would love to get invovled with working on the port to Android 2.x.

Christ's Blessinsg to All,

Paul

One more!! Android Please

It has been a year and still no app in sight what is the delay?

It has been a year and still no app in sight what is the delay?

We can only speculate.  But since we've been told strongly hinted it's coming, we can also wait impatiently.  :-)

EDIT:

Correction, you can speculate.  I will continue to use Blackberry until I divert enough of my book budget away from Logos to buy a new Android.  [:p]

I would also appreciate an Android app. It would be incredibly useful to me. Thanks for everything you've done so far, I greatly appreciate it!

Yay Droid App!  Has Logos said anything official about Droid ambitions?

There are some very clear tweets from  Dan Pritchet, and I've heard whispers from a few other individuals.  Plus, Bob P. has declared somewhere on these forums (I'm too lazy to search right now) that Android will "likely" be the next  platform.  

IOW: Android.

I think http://community.logos.com/forums/p/14831/158338.aspx#158338 may have been the post to which Thomas was referring

Thanks Graham!!

From that it appears that we could be talking about Logos 5 before an android app is in the works, but then again,

QUOTE:We're still working on re-writing our mobile display engine, which has to happen before we port to a new platform. We're almost there.

from  Bob Pritchett in August looks like it could mean thatt now that the Macintosh code port for Logos 4 is done then efforts may be focusing primarily on the "mobile display engine" and it could be closer than the year to 18 months that Logos 5 is sure to be.

Web-baed will also work.  But, I would like to be able to download some of the resources.  I would like to be able to read them without having to maintain a battery draining network/internet connection.

I want an Android app too,

First to market with a decent android app gets my loyalty.

Bible Works, Logos, or anyone else, I don't care.

I'd like to see that also.

Considering my investment in Logos Series X, 3 and 4, I will wait a little longer for the Android app from them, but I see your point.

Did anyone else pick up on the "hint" (or "teasing," call it what you will) from the brief Android-related comment exchange to today's (10/13/2010) Logos blog post regarding FreeBookPreview.com and the iPhone app?

Thanks for rubbing it in but some of us have droids and still yet can not use our Logos on it, so how about some good news like "Logos Now Available on Droid"??????

Howard,

You just never know what kind of news you might hear.  (Emphasis mine) For the time being...

Steve R.

I was recently at a camp logos and asked about the android app.  I was told that it is being worked on, but there is no timeline.  Like anything else Logos does, they will do it well.  This means time.  As a mac user I was waiting on the final 4.0 and was not let down.  We need to be patient as Android is just now becoming a force in the marketplace.  Plus Android provides more complications because of it being somewhat fractured (though this has improved) and there being so many phones with various specs that have to be considered.  And we cannot forget that Logos is working on more than just their core engine.  Hang in there Android faithful.  Our patience will be rewarded!

"First to market" turns out to be Olive Tree, and it's working pretty well on my Samsung Vibrant. Problem solved!

I currently use Cadre Bible.  It is real good.  But would much prefer to have a logos app!

I agree. Just bought a droid......

In case no one on this post is aware. Logos has provided an alternative mobile solution that allows anyone with a web based moble phone to access their personal Logos4 library @ http://library.logos.com/

Just open your favorite browser (Opera works well) on your mobil device and navigate to the following address  http://library.logos.com/.

You will need your login that you use with Logos4 and viola! You have access to most of your library.

Hope this helps.

I have an Android X and do not plan to change and like the others I would love an Android App.  Please make one available soon.  I feel that a lott of Logo's customers are being short changed and one sided not to have this available to us. 

Like many others...Logos is the one app missing from my Android...longing and waiting....is patience really a virtue?

Thanks for the post Noel. Would rather have an app with the ability to load books on the phone but at least I can access my library....

I was hoping for an ipad, but with droid tablets being available at $139, i would much more readily purshase that. i honestly doubt, however, that i would cough up the dough for an ipad.  i would think that there are many other logos users in the same boat.

that being said, i would be very excited to see an android app.

Did anyone else see this on Dan Pritchett's twitter:  http://www.twitpic.com/32c0zt

  Our dream is coming true. 

My analysis is that it's only logical...iphone has less than 30% of the smartphone market right now, and android is quickly up and coming and threatening to become a major contender.  Google is making deals (adobe) and developing innovative products (google goggles, and google speach engines) that are going to be pushing the market and attracting customers.  I'm guessing it's simply a matter of time...However, my renewal is coming up and although I would prefer owning another android phone, the logos app may end up being the clincher which causes me to settle for an iphone  :-(

Unless Logos wants to announce something soon!  :-)

Yet another vote for the Logos 4 app for the droid.

No, this is not quite what we are asking for.  I personally would find a dedicated android app for reading my logos books offline very useful.  The picture on twitter showed a browser-based logos library.

Vladamir if you the site it says "We’re planning a version of Logos for the Android platform. It will likely be just like the Logos for iPhone application, with Android-specific interface as required. There is no additional information available about features or timeframe at this time.

In the meantime, check out Biblia.com on your mobile browser."

  I assume they just put a picture on it for now to show what is currently available.

The biblia.com deal isn't as loaded as library.logos.com. The latter has more of my titles. Neither is truly useful. They don't remember where you've been; you can't highlight or make notes. Still, I am hopeful that Logos will make it useful. These things take time.

The biblia.com deal isn't as loaded as library.logos.com. The latter has more of my titles.

Really? I actually show more titles in biblia.com than library.logos.com.  I thought they were supposed to the same anyway. I wonder why they aren't.

Biblia.com:

Library.logos.com:

Biblia needs a Table of Contents in Mobile mode, so library.logos.com wins until that happens.

For me now, it's Biblia: 600 books and Library.Logos: 598. So Biblia has now has overtaken the older way. I haven't checked but a few times since the announcement that they are working on the Biblia deal, since it isn't really helpful yet.

The library.logos route shows my reading plans though. Biblia does not.

I would like to see Android too - please make sure it is screen agnostic (though I guess the sony mini is probably out) so those with smaller screen real estate like the great pocketable HTC WILDFIRE is supported

Actually, I never realized that library.logos.com was supposed to be able to access books from my Logos library.  Even signed in on library.logos.com, I only had like 40 books.  Not until seeing the biblia.com option did I realize that it can actually access some of my books.  I was amazed to see hundreds of books now available on my android.  Having unlimited internet and the fact that I can access my MacArthur Study Bible and his commentaries, I'm set until Logos comes out with an app.  BUT PLEASE DO SO LOGOS!!!!

Please Add suport for Android. wow that would make a lot of sense really. one ap that crosses about 10 plus phones and a number of networks a this time!! alot more sense than the slow Iphones unless you of course have money to drop on the new Iphone4....

Android support is coming: http://www.logos.com/mobile/android

I agree I would really like logos on android. Please!  [:'(]

+ 1 for android development.   Android is the fastest growing platform by a mile and Logos needs to catch up.  http://www.engadget.com/2010/12/01/nielsen-android-makes-huge-gains-in-us-smartphone-marketshare/

In the next few months they will pass Iphone to take the number one spot in the U.S.  And when the Tablets start coming out in 2011 they do much the same to the Ipad.   Please increase development for Android

+1 Android

The android App is coming.. not sure when Logos will be done making it though... iPhones in Canada are on all networks... even in the US, Verizon will have the iphone in a month or so. iPad is wonderful (I do know the android pads are on the way and that's a good thing)...

-dan

PS: I know the galaxy and dell's 7 inch is out there but i am thinking  of the ones that actually resemble ipad size. A pad  with 42% of the screen size is really not a whole lot more useful than a phone screen.
