Removing the free content available generally for users with Base Packages?
I don't expect there currently exists any way to change this inside of the application, but I know that, personally, it's distracting to see things like the free foreign-language translations and selected sermons from particular ministers available generally in Logos 4 iPhone when I have an actual library of books that I'd like to get at. It's obviously not a huge deal, but I can't imagine that developing a fix would be terribly hard either—some sort of off-on switch for free content seems sensible. it just doesn't make sense that you can remove every book you'd like from showing up in the desktop application, but you're forced to see particular books show up.

I believe it's in the program settings where you can hide resources. I'm not at my pc right now, but there is an option to hide resources.

Keep in mind that hiding a resource actually deletes the resource from your hard drive. You can get this back simply by un-hiding the resource and L4 will download it again. The option is under Tools - Settings - Program Settings - Hidden Resources.

The question refers to iPhone, not the desktop application, so to clarify:
- Resources you hide on your desktop will be hidden on your iPhone.
- Unfortunately there's no way to hide resources on your iPhone that you don't own on your desktop.

Absolutely—I suppose my question was more in the vein of a suggestion, then, in that it certainly ought to be possible. Perhaps this isn't the right forum for that.

That and some way of utilizing collections in a passage guide or word study wouldn't hurt either.

I find that I would like to have the option to only have certain books show up on the Iphone. I have nearly 1800 books but only want some 20 books to even be seen. would it be possible to have in the desktop settings (not in the app as that would make the app bloated) a box that would allow us to check a box to make all books available and also a box to check that would say only make these books available. and then let us put the books that we would like on the iPhone in that box. As it is now, I only use a few books on the Iphone, yet when I go to scroll through the books available, unless I know the exact names, I am there all day... 1800 is a long list to go through 25 at a time. I actually find that the current way is huge waist of my time, but if we could limit the books available it would take care of both of our problems. Dave Duncan... are you out there! LOL I Pray Dave that you can make this happen for us.
Dave, thank you for all of the work that you have done already,
