Don't see morphology on iPhone
On the features page for the iPhone app, it shows that I can tap and hold on a word and see morphology. Is this function available only if I have Logos 4? I only have the iPhone app at this point. If I tap and hold on word in a Bible, I simply get a little menu that pops up that offers choices like "Copy, Look Up, Search" and if I tap look up all it does is offer me options to look up the word elsewhere.

It does work with the SBL, although it's not simply "tap and hold" as the website suggests. I still need to tap and hold the word, then choose "Look Up".
My question then is, how do I know which English Bibles it works with? Does it not work with all of them, or only certain ones?

I am not sure what website you mean… do you have a link?

As far as I can tell, the real issue is that you don't own the resources you need to do what you want to do. Logos does provide some resources free of charge, which you are using. To look up the underlying greek words in the ESV, for example, you need the reverse interlinear which comes with base packages.
To answer your question "how do I know which English Bibles it works with," the answer is that it has to be one with a reverse interlinear for the translation and the biblical book. The ESV, for example, has an RI for the whole bible. The NIV2011 has an RI for the NT only (the OT is under development).

For the "tap and hold" I am referring to this part of the Logos site:
http://www.logos.com/mobile/iphone
Under the section "Features", if you click on "Languages", you will see the description to the right of the iPhone picture that says: "Access the original Greek & Hebrew words with a simple tap-and-hold on any word in the Bible. You'll instantly see the lemma and morphology of the term." Maybe that was an older feature; I was expecting it to work differently.
Thanks for clarifying the need for the RI. That helps.
I am investigating Bible study software end cross-platform is important to me, particularly iOS apps so I want to know what I can and can't do.
Thanks!

I am unsure. It may have been an older way of doing it. Because of highlighting, tap & hold is used for both.
FYI - when you tap & hold, and push "Look Up," it gives you the language info like you see in that screen shot… but only when you own the resources needed.
