Advertised books not showing up on my iPhone

Chris Hodges · November 2009

In the most recent logos blog entry (http://blog.logos.com/archives/2009/11/_with_the_new_iphone.html), I see books displayed that I cannot get on my iPhone for which I have a license (I upgraded to the Platinum Edition of version 4). For example, the Baker Exegetical Commentary on the New Testament, the Baker New Testament Commentary & the Bible Knowledge Commentary are seen in the passage guide, but they are not found on my passage guide or in a search for them in my library. Obviously, I know that logos would not falsely advertise these books as being accessible if they were not, so I can only conclude that I have either done something incorrectly or failed to do something that I need to do. I have purchased and installed the version 4 upgrade and it has downloaded my resources and indexed them and I am using my program successfully on my desktop now. I have downloaded the logos application on my iPhone and signed into my logos.com account. What am I overlooking and why aren't all of my books that are available in iPhone format showing up on my iPhone?

Chris,

the iPhone App is functionally capable of reading any book in your library (though it may not necessarily correctly display some Gk or Heb texts).

Unfortunately, Logos has not yet secured permission from all publishers to make these resources available in their iPhone App.

It appears that these screenshots were taken before they started locking out access to the resources which they do not have a right to distribute yet in the App.

Damian is correct. Some screen shots were taken while the app was still being beta tested and before all the licensing restrictions were in place. We're working with publishers to get permission to to deliver more books to the iPhone.
