Suggestion: Change 1st line title of RI
OK. This is petty, but I believe in repetition. Conventions should be unified. Did I say that I like repetition? [:)]
In L4, the reverse interlinears use the title "Surface" for "Surface Text." The iOS mobile app uses the title "Text" for "Surface Text." Choose one and stick with it! [;)]

I hope you were suggesting 'Text' be the consistent choice. I saw 'Surface' years back and even now it's still odd. I suppose it's a technical name. Reminds me of mining; oil drilling; shale fracking.

Personally I don't care which, although I think that "Text" would be easier for most to understand.

Well, but I as a poor layman would associate "text" with "the 'real' = Greek manuscript" text (note: hopefully I included enough scare quotes to show I know this 'real' text is eclectic and recovered and based on assumptions about manuscript traditions and what not - so 'manuscript' probably isn't the absolute correct decription either), while "surface" is the English text of the translation of our choice, printed on the surface of the virtual paper we are reading, that we are digging below in the RI to uncover the underlying Greek text.
Have joy in the Lord!

Well, its election time here in the States, so let me put on my politicians hat:

(Honestly, I don't care which, so long as they are the same)

I prefer 'Surface', or something like 'Base text'. Just 'Text' doesn't really tell me anything. All the lines show some kind of text, don't they?

+1 [Y] for "Surface" replacement of "Text" in Logos mobile apps.
