I don't see this upgrade in the iTunes store. When do you think it will be available?

It can take a couple hours to roll out across the iTunes servers.

Me liking very much. Cut and paste, at least from what I just found, seems to be very well implemented. I also like the new navigation and text size options on the swip down. I sure wish it had brightness controls though.

Have you tried a good old fashioned restart of your iPhone?

This was indeed a great update, thanks! Some feedback:
- Great implementation of streamlined Read View interface (finally a name for that view!)
- Could not figure out how to turn on Full Justification. When I click on the icon to the left of the B/C/V entry box (the icon that looks like right justification), I get the B/C/V chooser. Is that correct behavior?
- I see the Back button, but where's the Forward button (e.g. reading Jn 3:16, then go to Rev 1:1; how do I get back to Jn 3:16?)
- The offline search bug (incorrect search results with the Chinese Bible when offline) is still not fixed: http://community.logos.com/forums/p/30634/227502.aspx#227502
Thanks!

There is no forward button but if you bold down the back button it will reveal your history.

Blind me - it's justified by default! This is great for me, I love justified. But I imagine some would like the option to turn it off.

Aha!

Aha!
Two more requests:
1) Please show the iPad top status bar (with clock - current time) at all times.
2) Please reduce the amount of top and bottom white space to maximize the reading space (especially when the header and/or footer are hidden).
Thanks!

Excellent work. Love copy ability.
One thing though, on a word look up some lengthy info can be cut off at the bottom slightly.

Thanks Dave. Early this afternoon I came down with my second kidney stone in 30 years. They shot me with morphene and another pain killer and sent me home with prescriptions to take. Seeing this update lifted my spirits, and I am going to stay up copying and pasting.

I think Logos is just trying to tell me they love me. More white space and justified text are two requests I made early on.

Dave,
Love the new update. The reading view is greatly enhanced.
Thanks and keep up the good work.0 -
Am I the only goofball that can not find the controls for Auto rotation lock? Seems like I can't get it to rotate at all.
Thanks in advance for something simple.
0 -
You are not alone. I am unable to find the controls for auto rotation lock. I can no longer rotate to landscape mode anymore. However, this is an awesome update. I can't wait for all the other stuff they have in-store for us.
0 -
I do feel better in an odd sort of way. Thanks.
0 -
Rotation lock has been removed from the app when running on iOS 4.2+ because the rotation lock built into the OS works better.
0 -
Thanks Dave
How do I get landscape mode? I tried but it would not switch to it. Am I missing something? Thanks again.

Perhaps your iOS has rotation lock enabled. Double-click home button, swipe to the right to see the lock.
0 -
Thanks for responding. I tried that with no luck. Is yours able to do landscape?

Found the iOS rotation lock but it makes no difference to Logos... Am I missing something? I tried to rotate the screen with th lock on and the lock off, no Logos screen flip.
Just remembered I have not restarted since the update, giving that a try. Didn't help (running iOS 4.3.1)
Logos does flip when in the 'Book' menu so I tried to lock landscape while it's the books menus is in landscape, but iOS lock thinks its still in portrait and pushed the orientation back. Maybe it's an iOS issue?

I wonder if 1.7 removes the interface for the rotation setting but the code still recognizes and respects whatever it was last set to? So users that had the in-app rotation lock on now have no way to turn it off, but the app still respects the rotation lock setting.
Just speculation, but seems plausible and should be easy to fix in a quick 1.7.1 update.

It's not supposed to, but that wouldn't be the first bug I've ever written. I'm looking into it.

Dave,
The change in the rotation lock in v1.7.0 is a step backwards IMHO. The iOS level rotation lock only allows locking the device in portrait mode. It does not allow locking the device rotation in landscape mode. In previous versions of the Logos App (1.6.3), the rotation lock as implemented in the App. allowed a user to lock the orientation in either portrait or landscape - which is a much better implementation.
I am using an iPhone4 16GB; iOS 4.3.1.
Can you please review this feature and consider re-implementing App-level orientation lock for the Logos App?
The 1.7.0 App looks really great. I'll post some other feedback over the next 24 hours.

I should add the disclaimer that rotation is working fine for me, I was just wondering if this might cause the issue for those reporting a problem.

A big second to this one! There is way too much white space on the iPad. For those of us who require a larger font, the linked panels are now almost useless because of two big top and bottom borders. I'd prefer a setting to eliminate all that padding and take it back to the way it was before.

|Have just downloaded the update, but not yet had much time to play with it. | look forward to continuing to read Mueller on iPad and am delighted that Harvard bookshelf has made it there too. An iPad is much more convenient on my meal tray than even a mini laptop. [:D]

This feels much more responsive to me than the previous versions. Good update.
I find it amazing I can read almost any book in my library on my way to work!

Does the copy paste option also copy the citation. I currently don't have an iPad or iPhone, but if I could copy important text, with citation, then I can later add the text into my Nota Bene book note files for information storage and retrieval, with citation.
Currently, I have not seen the value of having an iPad or iPhone for reading Logos because it breaks my work flow. I need to be able to copy text + citation.
Thanx.
0 -
No, it will copy the citation ref but not the contents. I don't see a way to copy the citation itself.
0 -
When you say that it copies the citation ref, are you referring to the superscript number that appears in the text when you are copying a portion of text happens to be a citation by the author?
I'm not referring to citations within the text, I'm referring to a citation OF the text that you are copying. For example, if you open volume 7 of the works of John Owen and copy something from page 132, I would like to see the citation showing the title, author, publisher, page number etc.. Logos does this automatically on the Windows Desktop version. Does the mobile copy paste do the same?

I see - no, it doesn't do this either (in what I've tested thus far). I wish it would and perhaps we'll see it in a future update.

Bummer, perhaps by the time they come out with that feature, iPad 3 will be released. Meanwhile, I'll stick to my laptop.

It went from non-justified text (which I like) to justified text (which I hate with a passion). Is there an option to turn off this terrible "improvement"? Please! Please! Please! Please! Please!

Agreed. We should be able to turn off justification.

Am I missing something or did the "book history" bar at the bottom of the old reading view disappear? I would use this a lot to navigate to recently opened books but definitely in a way very different from the history back button. I also looked in my recent books under library but this list of books appears to be different. Maybe it will catch up with my usage in a little time but even if it does this is not nearly as convenient as the old method.
Really liking the changes save this one and hoping I am just overlooking something. If not can I vote to bring it back in its previous form?
