How do I mark a Reading Plan "Read"?

I am a newbie on the iOS, playing around with an iPod Touch 4th gen.  This morning it had my correct reading plans from the desktop, but as I read I do not see any way to mark the day's reading as "read". What am I missing?

 

Thanks!

    Hi Dominick

    When you get to the end of the portion of your plan for today you should see something similar to what you get on the desktop

    In the screenshot above it is halfway down on the right-hand side (it shows "Read" because I have read it for today!)

    If you click on the portion which is marked "Read" (in my shot) but will say something like "Stop Reading" this will mark it as Read

    Does this help?

    Let me add to what Graham said… The reading plans are not "persistent," meaning that if you have a reading plan, click on it to engage the plan, then leave the app, the reading plan may or may not be engaged when you return. If the app is actually closed (rather than you just multitasking), it will not be engaged. You must return to the home page and click on the reading plan once again.

    Thanks Graham and Alabama. I expect to see something like the bars on Reading plans that show up on the desktop, but there is absolutely nothing on the screen, only text. I have compared to where the end of today's reading plan is on the desktop several times, and I went a few pages further to see if there was a pagination discrepancy. I am on the very latest iOS that came down last week. I don't see any settings to influence this. There is also no "start reading" bar.  If I go to the last one completed (on the desktop), no start/end bars. If I go to the next one after the one I want to read today, no bar.  I am behind schedule on this reading, but that should not matter! The readings plans clearly sync'd this morning, as this particular reading plan had not ever shown up on the iPod before.

    This is an iPod 4th gen, that shouldn't matter right?

    Dominick - How are you accessing the reading plan? Are you starting from the home page, or are you just opening up the resource?

    I start the app - Gesture down and tap the Home icon - tap the resource I want under the section "Reading Plans" (I have two reading plans; below the Presentations section, above Devotionals section), it then gives me a list of the readings by date; the top one is checked as read, so I click the second one in the list, which happens to be March 1. And then the resource is up but no reading plan bars.

    Dominick - 

    Your 4th Gen iPod should work. Your workflow sounds right. I wonder if the 2.1 update is needed to fix this for you. The screen shot below shows you what it should look like. NOTE: This is my iPhone 4s running 2.1 RC4.

    I check and no updates are available. I am almost positive I am not running 2.1, as I have not had any Logos updates for at least a couple of weeks. I guess I will try again when an update comes down!

    If the resource you're reading has not been downloaded to your device and the resource has not been opened before you select the reading in the reading plan, the inline markers may not show up. To see if this issue is affecting you, go to the library tab, select your resource, wait for it to display, and then return to the home page and select a reading.

    This issue should also be fixed in 2.1.

    Thanks David, but that did not work either. I brought up the resource through library, went to home page, and brought up the reading plan. Still no reading plan bars.

    Dominick,

    You have to open your resource from the reading plan to see the reading plan bars.

    Here is my (behind) reading plan with the next reading marked in red.

    If I now open my resource from the library or just jump to it in the reading view there is no reading plan bars:

    But if I open it by taping the passage in the reading plan:

    Then I will see the reading plan bars:

    Hopefully this will solve your problems.

    Thanks Ebbe, that is exactly what I did. You are not on the beta of iOS Logos are you? I am not.

    No I am not. I am running Logos 2.0.2 (iOS 5.1)
