My favorite Greek Lexicon Liddell and Scott works well on the iPad. Not sure it is linked to word study though ...
Hi Erik and welcome to the forums. Liddell Scott does turn up in the Word Study. That's what the LSJ in my post was referring to.
Running Logos 6 Platinum and Logos Now on Surface Pro 4, 8 GB RAM, 256GB SSD, i5
Currently not all of our books are available for reading on the mobile applications. However, you should also have access to the Enhanced Strong's Lexicon.
Do you see that in your library?
As far as which resources are pulled up for the Word Study guide, make sure your resources are properly prioritized as per here: http://wiki.logos.com/Prioritizing
Thanks,

Hello Hunter, Thank you for your reply, but I checked what you were saying. I do have enhanced strings lexicon in my library including other lexicons like VINES, TDNT etc... I have also done the prioritization on my desktop as per your link. But when I select a word on my iPad in the bible and i choose LOOK UP and then BIBLE WORD STUDY in order to look at that Greek word it takes me to the word study page but then on top it only shows 3 lines. the 1st is the AUDIBLE version of that Greek word, then below that the 2nd line is LOUW-NIDA and then the 3rd line is DBL GREEK.... I fail to see VINES connected to my word study and also ENHANCED STRONGS LEXIXON or TDNT or any other resources, even though they are in my iPad library... If I click on my DBL then once the book is opened then there is links to the STRONGS and TDNT for example: "Str 1097" and "TDNT 1.689" but that is all, it also fails to have Vines...
But when I work on my desktop and then when I right click on a word in the bible and I choose "LEMMA" then it throws out for me all my prioritized lexicons and dictionaries like VINES, ENHANCED, TDNT, DBL, BROWNS etc....
Unless if this feature is not yet available on iPad? If so, will it become available in near future, because I find iPad logos to be brilliant, especially the split screen option and the passage Guide has thumps up, but for me the only thing which is lacking is to do a proper greek/hebrew word study with all my resources, which limits me big time to use LOGOS purely on my iPad when I am traveling for ministry....
Thank you so much for your help...

Unfortunately this doesn't work.
To check this I carried out a BWS on the word "grace" in Philippians 1:2
In Logos 4 on my laptop the results are ordered as per my prioritisation
Whereas on iOS the order of the three lexicons reported is the same (but maybe by chance?) but some are clearly missing
This is effectively the point that is being made in earlier posts in this thread and the issue is still here

Interesting, it seems you are building some credibility here (I still reverted your spam entry in the wiki).

He's a spammer.

I know now: In another thread, I think it's deleted by now, someone reported that he caught him spamming into product reviews and faithlife, too.

Truly this has been a problem on the iPad for to long.
My main issue is with the greek dictionaries since the BDB, Gesenius & DBL Hebrew very enough in what they list. In Greek "Word Study" it seems to ALWAYS defaults to Louw-Nida and DBL which largely convey exactly the same definitions (occasionally and I mean very infrequently the EDNT shows up but it always only lists two dictionaries while under Hebrew I always see three dictionaries). So my argument would be to dump the DBL and allow the EDNT or another dictionary from the pool of available (iPad enabled) works in ones' own library to take its place. No sort of collection or prioritizing has changed anything for me and we are looking at more than a year since I personally posted on this topic.
(I am aware that the translation wheel lists more but the click-ability in the definition book listing allows one to jump into a dictionary as part of the work flow.)

Any updates on this? I'd also love to be able to access more of my resources through the word study tool, namely kittel.
One thing I'm noticing is that, at least for Greek, it only lists two resources in a word study. If TLNT is available on the word I'm looking up, my two options are TLNT and DBL Greek. But if TLNT isn't available, then it defaults to DBL Greek and LEH LXX Lexicon. I know that LEH LXX is available for the words that TLNT has, but it only gives me two resources at a time, and it seems to prefer TLNT over LEH LXX (which I like much better, anyway). So this isn't a case of the iPad app not being able to access resources during a word study, but rather that it only displays two resources at a time.
I can say for sure that it doesn't go by the desktop version's prioritization, because this is not how I have it prioritized. And I, also, would love to be able to use my "Little Kittel" in an iOS word study.
Hi Jason - as per below I get three resources for Greek
Can you provide some more details?
What word in which translation are you looking up?
Graham
Thanks for the reply.
First off, I don't have BDAG, so maybe that makes a difference. I have the Bronze package, plus I bought the Little Kittel, which is what I mainly wish would show up. Anyway, I looked up quite a few words just to test it out. But for instance, I did a search for the common word "charis" or grace from Eph. 2:8, which I knew would be in the TLNT. In that case, a word study brought up TLNT and DBL Greek. But in the same verse, the word "doron" or gift is not in the TLNT, so it only brings up DBL Greek and LEH LXX Lexicon.
Obviously, "charis" is also in LEH LXX, too, but that word study only brings up the other two resources. I could understand if the problem were just that Little Kittel isn't supported for iOS word studies. But it's hard to know for sure when it doesn't bring up resources that are supported all of the time. I'm only getting two resources no matter what I look up.
Oh, and I am searching from NASB, but I also tried KJV and The Lexham English Bible with the same results. I wish there were a way to either prioritize on the iPad or change the number of resources that it searches.
I didn't expect it to but it looks as though it does!
I hid BDAG on my desktop which makes it unavailable on the iPad. I then do your "charis" search and just get two lexica - Louw-Nida and DBL Greek.
Very strange. I'll try and see if I can find out what is going on here.
I know it’s not exactly the same topic but the short definitions displayed by Louw-Nida and the DBL are of such close results that it would seem natural that the defaults would be a little more diversified. Please see my link post. Also I don't see that prioritized resources has any effect on it, since I have manipulated them several times with no change.

Hey Anthony, thanks for your comment. I see what you mean and that is exactly what I tried as well. the prioritization doesn't affect it at all. I hope and trust that they will work on this in the next update. If I can have all my dictionaries like VINES, EDNT, DBL, BDB, TDNT etc in there then it will be great and then this LOGOS would be really worth while. The only main part which is lacking now is the GREEK and HEBREW study in the WORD STUDY section... I would also like it if they can add more english dictionaries for whenever we do an ENGLISH word search, above the default Meriam Webster dictionary.... FINGERS CROSSED THAT IS GETS UPDATED SOON!
Agreed.
