    Just dutifully reporting.  Updated Vyrso, went off-line, clicked on LEB (which had been downloaded earlier).  Blank screen.  The verse chooser works ... eg the panel. But selecting a verse generates a blank screen (with the little menu logo in the top left).  Went back on-line, re-started Vyrso.  Clicked on LEB; displays text.  Off-line, now also displays text.

    Luckily it's Monday.  Yesterday, I'd have been a bit angry-ish.   But luckily, I always update only 1 of the Logos apps to test first.  So I would have only been disappointed.

    Displaying Bibles seems to be a real challenge.

    EDIT: Am on the iPad Mini before the newest; latest iOS.   Not need to reply.

    So they do.

    And for the first time I touched the Reading Plan on the home screen. I expected it to open at the start of a reading section. It didn't!

    Was I expecting too much?

    More info

    Actually my two Bible Reading Plans and the daily devotional opened to their places.

    New Testament and the People of God - failed to respond.

    Mike,

    How long did you wait after installing the app to see if your reading plans worked?  Upgrading our apps usually involve some background processing that doesn't happen instantly, and in this case adding support for Logos 6 custom reading plans necessitated a database schema update on the mobile side that takes a bit of time to run.  

    Can you try again and let me know if any of your reading plans still fail to respond?

    Actually not many seconds. Too excited. :-)

    First try before 2001hrs latest try at 2051hs - in the meantime I have restarted the app. (Bible, and other, Plans are working fine still)

    Having, on my desktop, just completed one section of reading and marked it 'Read' the Home Page on my I pad has updated to show the next reading portion but I am still unable to activate the reading both from the home page nor the actual reading plan.

    Can you post a screenshot of your ipad app's homepage?

    And it might be best creating a new thread to track this.

    Can you post a screenshot of your ipad app's homepage?

    Let's see...

    10.10.3 beta just installed (Logos Beta working well so far)

    New Photos app just activated - now for the test...

    How's that? Worked first time!

    It is 'The New Testament and the People of God' plan that will not open.

    Thanks Mike

    All looks good on the screen - hopefully the information you sent to Kevin will help track this down.

    Just wanted you to know that on the reading plans for DIY Bible Study and Mobile Ed Bible study that at the end of today's reading "mark as read" does not show up.

    ths is a known issue. It is supposed to be fixed in the next beta on the desktop side.

    I have a problem with ESV audio. The text that is read aloud is not the text that is indicated with the orange circle. E.g. when reading 1 Tim 5:1 - the circle is on 1 Tim 5:2. This gives a problem on page's ends.

    Hi A J

    As this is unrelated to anything else in this thread you would be wise to start a new one if you want a response.

    Love the ability to get custom reading plans on my ipad! So far I've had some work, and some not show on my iPad. I made a plan yesterday morning for the ESV that never showed on my iPad. I deleted that plan this morning in favor of one with the HD ESV and that still hasn't shown up. I've restarted the iPad app several times and deleted and re-downloaded it once but still haven't been able to get it to show. It's extremely long (1500 sessions). If the plan is longer will it take longer to show up at the homepage?

    Liam, can you create a new thread for your issue?  How far into the future do your reading plans go?
