Iphone / Itouch

Will the Iphone LOGOS application work just as well on the iTouch.
My provider does not support iPhone but I would like to get an iTouch if Logos will work on it.

Kenneth, there is a lot of discussion on that subject in this forum already, so you can get a lot of information. Short answer is: yes, Logos for iPhone is working the same way on iTouch. The problem is you will have to be always on WiFi, so you can use your books. With the iPhone you can use it also via phone connection of the iPhone.

Bryan,

Thanks for the information! Could you clarify what "limited offline support" means? I'm quite comfortable with not being able to do everything offline that can be accomplished online, but I'm wondering if you can share any of your goals for offline use of the product?

You'll have to ask Bob

Consider it done! [:)]

Bob,

Could you give us any ideas as to what your goals are for offline support for the iphone/ipod app?

The ability to cache out a few chapters of a given book would be great. Even better would be to have all of the information from the Passage Guide, and Word Study to be cached so that you can do it while online and then take it with you to read through. 

Keep up the great work. [:)]

can you download the content so that it is available when there is no WiFi?

So, with the iPod Touch, one cannot transfer the books/resouces one has for Logos 4 on one's computer to the iPod Touch and read/access them without Internet/WiFi connection? For example, I have BDAG and HALOT on my computer. If I were to purchase the iPod Touch and not have WiFi access, I could not connect the iPod Touch to my computer, install the Logos application and transfer BDAG/HALOT to the iPod Touch to read? Please confirm. [:)]

I have an iPod Touch, and that is true.  You MUST have an active internet connection to be able to read anything on your device.  It is definitely a pain, but I have found that the stuff I need access to when I'm away from wi-fi I have access to via another program I own that provides offline access to their limited bibles and books.  When Logos finally goes offline with their app, I may be able to drop the other program I use.

We've submitted an update to Apple that includes offline support. It is currently awaiting approval before making it into the app store, but hopefully within a week or 2 you'll be able to read books offline. 

Woohoo! That's great news. Thanks Logos [:D]

Thank you!

I got the update and turned off on airplane mode and turned off wifi. It lets me go through a couple of pages and then says not available. So my questions is this -- how will this be cached and how much control will I have.

To me offline reading means that I can open any book I have available and read it without an internet connection. Right now that is clearly NOT what the Logos iPhone app is delivering in my initial test.

Here is a brief tutorial on how to make a book available offline: http://community.logos.com/forums/t/8178.aspx

Make sure the whole book has finished downloading before you switch to airplane mode.

Chris is correct. I've updated the original post to reflect this fact.
