Are their known problems with some books on Ipad?

I have problems with some of my books on Ipad.

With most of my books it works all right. But some books are incredibly slow. It may take up to 1 minute to turn a page (sometimes even longer) - and sometimes the app just crashes and then it takes several minutes to open the app again.

I have downloaded about 50 books. Some books that made the app crash and be very slow are John Owen's Hebrews commentary and some journals. This happens even though I put the Ipad in airplane-mode.

Today I gave up on reading Journal for Biblical Manhood and Womanhood as the app was several minutes about turning a page and finally crashed.

I tried reading another book and there was no problem: Quick turning of pages and no crash.

Do you have a book that is part of a base package that exhibits this behavior? I have an iPad and Platinum, but neither of these books.

ELA

Owen was in the Master Collection 2010 and the journals are in the Theological Journals bundle. Yes, I do have a base package also. (Portfolio)

Curious about verse and volume since Master Library Builder (2,010 vols.) has seven Hebrew commentary volumes by John Owens.

It was vol 1 of 'An exposition on the epistle of Hebrews' by John Owen. I
had to delete it on my Ipad because it stopped the app from working. I
had put it in a splitscreen with a bible - and if I was not very careful
it would suddenly show up again.

BUT the problem has not been only with this book. During the last month
there have been others that didn't work. I have been able to download
them, but cannot turn pages etc. Yesterday I had the problem with
'Journal of biblical manhood and womanhood' no 9, spring 2004.

That's why I asked if there are known problems with some of the books.
Has anyone else experienced the same thing. Is it the app, my network or
the books that are causing problems?

I too have had similar problems. Most recently it was with the Moody Handbook of Theology. It has jammed up numerous times and even shows a Chinese character in the middle of an article. (pg. 485)

Welcome [:)]

Apologies: unable to replicate using Vyrso 2.1.0 (with footnotes displayed on page).

Note: personally tend to close apps not in use along with use iPad in airplane mode.

ELA - Several Questions:

What version of the app are you using?
Have you tried BOTH apps (Logos & Vyrso)?
What OS version are you running?
How much free space is on your device?
What are the specs of your iPad? What generation?
Does the same behavior happen if the resource is NOT downloaded?

I have all the resources running V. 2.0.2 of the app on a 3rd gen 64GB and have no issues downloaded or not, online or off. FYI.

Ad 1: I run version 2.02 of Logos and 2.1.0 of Vyrso
Ad 2: Yes, I have tried both apps
Ad 3: I'm running OS version 4.3.5 (8L1)
Ad 4: I have 23,8 GB free of 32 GB
Ad 5: It's an Ipad 2
Ad 6: I tried to use (without downloading) the two book on my IpodTouch (also OS version 4.3.5), and it worked - (but I think that this screen is too small for serious reading) Using the book without downloading them, the books were very very slow (about 30 sec. to turn a page) but at least the app didn't crash.

ELA - What do your note files look like in L4? (are you on windows or Mac? - are you running L4.5?) Are your note / highlight files large?

When the mobile app is running, is the wheel continually spinning (i.e. downloading)?

ELA

I'm running Logos version 4.5a SR-1 on one machine. But for the most part I still use Libronix - except for word-studies etc. I still haven't synced the larger note-files, so my notefiles mainly consist of highlights. So no, my files are in no way large.

The wheel is not spinning. When I use the app for most of the time I switch to airplane-mode. I read on another website that this would make the app work much quicker. And it certainly does. But this didn't work with the books here - and a few others.

I am out of thoughts. Sorry. [:S] If I had those resources, I might be able to trouble shoot more. Perhaps customer service can help.
