    Thanks for the update. Since Build 131, I've had the problem of Logos crashing whenever I tried to open any resource (Bible, Book, whatever). It installs fine, and loads fine. But as soon as I select a Bible, it'll open to where I left off last time, then the screen will dim and after a few seconds, it'll pop up a message "Unfortunately, Bible has stopped". This started with Build 131, and I had to revert back to Build 125. I'm running on a Samsung Galaxy Note 10.1, 32GB RAM, 32GB SD card (same problem with 64GB SD card), Android 4.1.2. I've seen a post from someone else with similar problems, but no known solution yet.

    When I saw Build 132 released, I installed it, and immediately noticed the same problem. So again, I had to revert back to 125 (not to mention having to redownload all my resources).

    Is there any solution to this issue? I use Logos on my Galaxy tablet extensively for sermon and bible study preparation.

    Thanks,

    David

    Hi David,

    There appears to be a problem with two of your NET Reading Plans.  Please login to http://documents.logos.com using your Logos email and password.  You'll see a list of items - Reading Plans, Notes, etc.  Hover over one of the NET Reading Plans and you'll see an "Actions" button to the right.  Click that button and then select Delete.  Do the same for the other NET Reading Plan and then kill and restart the app on your mobile device.

    Please let me know if that takes care of the issue.

    Thanks, Kevin. I did as you said, and removed all NET Bible Reading Plans, then installed Build 132 (2.6.6). I'm happy to report that it no longer crashes! Who'd guess that a problem with Reading Plans can cause the app to fail.

    Thanks again for the quick reply and solution.

    Thanks for reporting this issue David. We've made changes in the next release so this issue will not occur again.
