I'm confused...Prayer Lists keeps not making it into the items from v3 that aren't supported, but there has likewise been no sign (that I have read) that it will be supported. I'm sorta sitting out here in limbo, trying to decide if I need to come up with a new way to track my prayer lists, or if this is something that will come down the road.

Let me again, add some encouragement to make it part of v4 AND the iLogos app. 

Any official word?

    Prayer Lists will not be in the initial release of 4.0. I believe that (like Verse, Vocabulary, and Word lists), they will follow in a subsequent release, but I don't have any information on how soon that is likely to be.

    I'd really like to see some of that change..verse lists and prayer lists are bread and butter stuff ...its a real disappointment Logos has not seen fit to get this stuff in the intial release...  vocab lists and word lists if I take a really deep breath can get over it till I think about it the next time, and then have to take another really deep breath..but verse lists are a basic tool and the here today, gone tomorrow and back who knows when prayer list is really not a good look for the software at all.  Of course these thoughts are only IMHO and others may think otherwise.

    Thank you for the response, Bradley. 

    I really hope that prayer lists are a priority. I agree with Andrew's assessment about Prayer Lists being a "bread & butter" feature.

    A mark of Logos since the beginning has been an emphasis on prayer (books on prayer & prayer lists having a special place on the start page). For those that use the Prayer Lists, this isn't a feature they use "every once in a while" (like so many features) and it isn't something that can be done a different way effectively within the Logos application. Rather, it has become integral to the use of the program as a devotional tool. 

    I am disappointed (and quite surprised) that in the move to make Logos more user-friendly to the masses, 2 of the items that are most popular with the masses have been implemented poorly and not at all: devotionals & prayer lists.

     

    Thank you for listening on the markups feature; I understand that the release timeline won't allow for integration of the prayer feature, but I do ask that you either reconsider this or make it a priority shortly upon launch.

    Prayer Lists are on the list of items that will follow after the initial 4.0 release.
