Latest iPad update is very nice but...
With the latest iPad ap update I now am willing to use the iPad for bible study. However, I feel like its still only 90% there. For instance the need for highlighting to synch across platforms is still there. Is this something that is just not possible or will be available eventually with further updates needed?
Thanks for the hard work!

As Mark said, this should be working for you. If you are up to date on your desktop app, let us know and we can try and trouble shoot with you.

Highlighting has so far been very slow for me. I haven't checked yet to see if it is syncing, but just adding a highlight has a bit of a delay.
I would also like to see a simplified highlighting approach. I would bet that most people, myself included, will be using the same highlighting style most of the time so I'd prefer not to have the styles dialog box pop up every time I make a highlight.

I guess this would be possible, however, you must remember that highlighting must be directed to a location. It's not simple highlighting like Kindle or iBooks.

True, but there again I daresay many will be like me, not really caring what that location is - so I've got mine set to what I guess is a default file, Highlight Pens. There does need to be a way to change these, if desired, but it seems a needless extra step to be prompted every time when every time I'll just use the same settings.
As for sluggishness, it just took 22 seconds from the time I told it to highlight a section to the time the highlight showed up. This is on an iPad 1, and so far each of my highlights have had the same lag. Anyone else seeing this?
Also, I'm not yet seeing my highlights on the desktop, though it's only been a few minutes since I made my first highlight.

It normally takes mine between 10-15 seconds. I have an original iPad and an iPhone 4s. I think that it syncs before it shows, which may explain the delay.

I am not sure what the problem is. I am having trouble with that too. I have never had this problem... I am curious.

If this remains to be the case, it will make the highlighting function unusable for me. You could not read a piece of text of any decent length - with any kind of a flow - if you need to stop for so long at each place you want to make a highlight to refer back to later.
I'm very pleased Logos took this step as I love reading Logos resources on my iPad and hope this is down to initial teething problems.

Paul, I have to wonder did you read what you posted here? I am not trying to be smart, but unless I have missed something, we are still working with cellular technology... even text messages take a minimum of a few seconds, to at times, even a few days to be delivered. once I have synced the note it is instantaneous, but the initial note takes a few seconds. What am I missing? What do you expect? Is this a logos short coming or a technology issue? Please shed some light on this for me. I just can't see how this could be "deal breaker" or make the app unusable... even a radio station when you are broadcasting live with no delay, will have a couple of second delay right under the tower.

But that's not what he's talking about. He's talking about the delay in simply applying a highlight. If I highlight a section of text in iBooks or the Kindle app, it shows up right away. If I highlight text in Logos, it doesn't even show up for me for 20ish seconds. I'm not going to be inclined to highlight very often if every time I highlight I have to wait 20 seconds before moving on.
Sync is a separate issue. So far, I've not seen my notes and highlights sync. No problem - I assume it's launch-day problems. When Apple launched MobileMe, I lost email for several days. I can stand a brief hiccup period with Logos. But one of my concerns is that Logos' hiccups tend to last for more than a few days. I'm sure they will get sync issues worked out, but it is a little concerning that Sync 2 was supposed to solve issues, yet several are reporting problems. I'm also sure they will get highlighting speed improved, but I remember how long it took to do that for the Mac app, and it's still more sluggish than I'd like.
Others have made it work (and with sync at that - Kindle & iBooks) and I know Logos will get it to work as well. I just hope the fix shows up soon rather than "soon".
Those of you who are having success syncing between the iPad and the desktop app, are any of you using a Mac? Is it syncing fine with the Mac or only with the PC? Still no syncing for me on my Mac. Highlights showed up on my iPad from highlights originally set, but I've not yet seen new highlights syncing from the desktop to the iPad or from the iPad to the desktop.

Credit to Logos for taking this much needed step. However, using highlighting on an iPad first generation is proving to be very sloooooooooooooooowwwwwwwww right now. There's a several second delay when applying new highlights or deleting existing ones.
I too appreciate the iPad update. However, my Library still displays items that I have "hidden" on my desktop (specifically, some of the Perseus resources in Latin). Is this a problem for anyone else? Any solutions?
If you're using Logos 4.5 highlighting should sync between your desktop and your iPad.

I am seeing the highlights from the desktop in the iPad and iPhone apps. But I am not seeing highlights made on the iPad on the desktop. In fact, I am getting a sync error now.

On your iOS devices or on your desktop app? Did you verify that the document file you saved your highlighting to on your mobile device is the same one used on your desktop, or at least that the note file is enabled for that resource?

Slava,
I was not on 4.5 beta2, so I will test now and report back if the problem still exists.

Mark, can someone provide me with an answer as to what is the maximum number of resources we should download, and still be able to run smoothly?
