I like the new Logos 5 features such as the Sermon Starter and the Topic Guide.
Is there a plan to add these and other new L5 features to the iOS apps?
Thanks,
Peter
Bump... anyone interested? Any plans to include them in iOS, Logos?
I would tend to doubt it. But that is just speculation on my part.
Please don't.... the internet dependency is already to great for the iOS app.
What does it matter if a new feature is added which depends upon the internet? How do you suffer? The addition of an internet dependent feature is better than not adding a feature, right?
FWIW - I think these features WILL come… sometime. Six months or 60, I don't know.

What does it matter? How do you suffer? Well it matters, though I wouldn't consider it suffering. Inconvenient at best but for some worse for others. The dependency absolutely matters for some. The cost to cover that dependency matters to some. It matters to Missions/Field work. It matters in outreach where WiFi and 3G are unavailable. In those instances the Logos iOS app is just a glorified eReader for whatever books you may have downloaded.
By all means add the feature but make it at least semi functional offline. The iPad is certainly getting powerful enough to do it.
Woah now... I wasn't saying that your concerns about offline usage weren't important... I was just saying what is the skin off your back if they did add such a feature! I understand that not everyone has a good Internet connection. In fact, I spent 10 days in the thumb of MI with the inlaws... Lack of Internet drove me crazy! But how are you harmed if others can get a feature that is Internet dependant? Isn't it better that they get the feature than nobody get the feature? It was the tone of your post that I took offense to.
I look forward to the day when users can perform these functions offline... But I think you are wrong about the iPads current capabilities. If it were a simple matter, Logos would do it... It would be to thier benefit for you to run searches on YOUR device rather than THIER servers. The simple truth is that the iPad isn't a full fledged computer, but it is getting closer. The biggest issue is probably storage space. A 64 GB device, dedicated to Logos might be sufficient, but most users don't own that. I think if most users had $800 to drop on a 64 GB iPad, they could spend $1000 for a MacBook Air.
I have no inside info on this, but I would expect that we might see the ability to save online guide searches for offline use before we will see offline guides.

We have internet up here, lots of it. As a matter of fact there is one of the largest internet exchange points 50 miles away. [:P]
Your in-laws aren't from one of those Amish communities around here, are they? [:D]
Paul, I am down in Lapeer county, and we don't have anything like that! Charter, hasn't upgraded their services in over 30 years... no internet, no fiber optics... just broken wires!
No kidding? The exchange point is right near Romeo too. The ISP I used to work for partnered with Comcast to bring the trunk line up to the thumb. I feel bad for you, surrounded by 40meg service, and nothing to show for it...[:(]
paul, that line goes through one of my members property... and he cant get service from it!
Sad, very sad...[:(]
Have you looked into a wireless cable provider? They put a little digital antenna on your roof, and it communicates with their private tower. Usually they have some high speed internet options available with competitive pricing.
Paul, It would be so nice if that were an option, however, we have too many hills and that requires line of sight, so we are back to wired service.
