Version 1.8.0
I was quite excited to find an update for Logos today, hoping to see notes and highlighting, but not so. Oh well, just have to wait bit longer

I work in a IT department and no doubt Logos has a Project Manager. It would be nice to see a list of projected dates when features they are working on may be released. Not that we would hold them to it in a literal sense but at least those of us that are dedicated users would have an idea of what they were working on and when we might expect its release. I am fully aware of delays and proper testing, documentation that takes time and money to complete. We have been hoping for the notes and highlighting in iPad app for sometime now. If I knew it was projected to be released next year I would stop holding my breath or being disappointed every time my iPad showed a program update and Logos not being on the list or after installing Logos update not seeing the notes and highlighting. Kind of like not of like not having a clock in a doctors waiting room so no one will complain on how long they have been waiting. [:D] Keep plugging Logos we all love ya.

oooooh yeah and they can implement the LCF "Logos Confidence Factor" (Fake *NOT REAL* User Prototype in action displayed here)

agreed.

However a repair to the 'upward swipe' would be even more confidence building. :-)

It's just too difficult to predict dates, and things are always changing.
Things we can tell you:
- Proclaim is going into public beta October 11th, so we're shipping things that support that. (This mobile app update has support to follow Proclaim presentations.)
- The next priority is "sync v2" which enables smarter, faster, more robust annotation and highlighting, and treats highlights as notes without note text. We have to ship this on the desktop in order to deliver it to mobile, but we're working on it in parallel with Proclaim and it's not far off. We know that mobile notes and highlighting are high on everyone's list. It's taken a while, but I'm confident that once it's delivered you'll agree it's the most robust, most powerful notes and highlighting available for any mobile e-reader.

Thanks for your response Bob. I deal with project management issues in our IT department all the time. I am well aware of the issues surrounding timelines and projected dates. I am not looking so much for projected dates as a list of features in a priority list and maybe a projected quarter that you might be aiming at. I have seen numerous posts on the forum concerning some frustration over the mobile notes and highlighting. That frustration some be lessened somewhat if there was a place to go and see more information.
I am a loyal Logos user and look forward to all future updates.

Thanks, Bob. Please keep coming back to the forums every once in a while to give us updates...it helps keep us from slipping into despair and also helps me not buy books on Kindle.

I have no doubt this will be the case, which is why I am really looking forward to it.
Once we have notes though, I am sure we will all be eager for the next development

I wonder if this version is needed to be compatible with 4.5 beta...

Actually, one new feature is a "follow along" with Proclaim presentations. The app asks if it is ok to use location services.

this "new feature" is more like 1.7.2. (improvements taken into consideration). It not a feature that has universal application for all iOS users. Maybe if it let you work with proclaim natively on iOS I would be more exciting, but this doesn't seem to be case.
It has been frustrating waiting for some kind of substantial update that would make the user experience fluid and enjoyable to only be disappointed time and time again. I don't know what the iOS team at Logos has cooking or what their limitations are but can honestly say that I haven't really been excite about the app in a long time. I upgraded to Logos 4 mainly because of its compatibility with iOS. Logos in your pocket was new, fresh, and innovative; something no one else had done. Alas, little has been done to stir up those emotions. I will continue to use the app but only because I have invested so much time and money on the software over the years and not because its such a great user experience (though I wish it were the later).
Android has been great for iOS users because it has pushed innovation. Maybe Logos needs an Android.
I assume that a large part of the delay is waiting for sync 2.0 to be rolled out in 4.5. Beta should begin within a couple of weeks.
