No lexicons in my word study!

I've searched around a bit and can't find any help with this. Using the mobile app I cannot see all my lexicons when I'm in my Greek word study window. I have them downloaded to my phone but still they aren't there. Anybody seen this before?

    Benjamin,

    I am not entirely certain what you mean, but I am assuming that when you run a word study, under "DEFINITION" you are not seeing anything? 

    That is most odd.  

    My knowledge of the Android app is a bit limited, but I believe the Bible word studies must be run with internet access, they are generated on server side.  Since you mention having the lexica downloaded I suspect you are trying to run them offline. If this is the case than the solution is to have online access. 

    Hmm Sarcasm is my love language. Obviously I love you. 

  • Here's the step by step.
    Reading the bible, see a word I'd like to know more about
    Double tap or long press on the word, little box pops up
    Select Info, a small window appears with the word in Greek and a basic break down of the parsing.
    In this window is a button that says Bible Word Study, select it.
    Here is the full break down of the word with the little circle chart and various definitions. At the top of the page is where your lexicons should be listed. I only currently have Louw & Nida purchased within my logos software. It used to appear here on my phone, but one day it went away and I can't get it back.
    I have a current Wi-Fi connection and when I'm away I am on 4G. I've tried downloading the book for offline use.
    It's just gone.

    Ah, I am not seeing Louw  Nida in my list either, I do however see: BDAG, EDNT, and others.  

    I suspect for some reason that LN was turned off in the mobile app.  But I am not certain why. It does appear that LN was broken in a past iteration. I am not sure if this is related.

  • Hmm that's pretty frustrating. I also wonder why Vine's doesn't appear up there. That's another book I own in logos that I would love to have in this same page on my phone.

    I'm not sure. I'd like to hear a comment from a developer if one drives by this post.

    I may have a developer email around somewhere on my other computer. If I can find it, I will notify them.

    Do you mean you can't open the Louw-Nida Greek-English Lexicon on your device, or that it doesn't appear in Bible Word Study results?  Bible Word Study results come from Logos' servers, not your device.

    This is not related.

  • I can view L&N as well as other books just fine by opening them on their own. They just don't appear in the Bible Word Study results. They used to, and it seems other users have no trouble with it. Maybe it's only related to L&N?

    For what it's worth, Louw Nida doesn't appear in the BWS in the iOS app either.  I think only certain lexicons are searched by design for some reason (this list used to be much shorter).

    I have 10 other lexicons in the list but no LN.  The list is in the order of my desktop prioritizations (expect it ignores the "Apply only to..." setting, which is why the LEH LEX Lexicon is first).  Other missing ones include Kittle's TDNT and BAGD (Bauer 2nd Ed.), which are prioritized higher than the ones at the bottom of the list.
