Bible Look Up not working since update

I am having the same problem. Tried several versions ESV, NKJV, etc.
Also noticed that I was having difficulty choosing just one word.
i.e. In Philippians 3:2 I tried selecting "circumcision" and it selected "the circumcision"
In 1 Thessalonians 2:4 I tried to select "entrusted" and it selected "to be entrusted"

Yes I also noticed this problem as well, Stan. I believe it has to do with the "Smart selection" option that the latest version of the app added. It looks like this version of the app also turns on this feature by default. I've noticed that it's hard to select one word often for a word lookup with this feature turned on. You can easily turn it off like I did in the view settings pane of the app.

We're aware of the issue and are taking another look, sorry for the trouble.
Thanks for working on getting this fixed, Kevin.

Hey it actually seems to be working for me now! Looks like things are back to normal! Anyone else still having problems with it?

If you double-tap a word it will select just that word, even with Smart Selection turned on.

I was having the same issue, however, when I toggled off "scrolling view" it seemed to work normal. Not sure if that has anything to do with it.

Just so you know, View settings (scrolling or not) are unrelated to whether or not Word Lookup gives expected results.

Must have been a coincidence.

My individual iPhone 5 word "look up" still not working properly like it use to. Doesn't seem to go to the dictionary as much as it use to but still groups words with the blue adjustable lines instead of a single word. Compared it to my Logos 6 version on my laptop to see which words are actually in the text and the iPhone 5 app still fails to function properly. It is now un trustworthy. What next? Should I reinstall on the iPhone? Robert

Welcome! [:)]
Sorry you are having troubles. [:s]
My individual iPhone 5 word "look up" still not working properly like it use to. Doesn't seem to go to the dictionary as much as it use to
"Look up" should go to the dictionary 1) when you are offline and have downloaded a dictionary (this is an iOS function, not a Logos one) OR 2) when you are online, using a non-reverse interlinear resource. If you own a reverse interlinear for a resource such as the ESV, "look up" will take you to original language resources associated with the RI.
still groups words with the blue adjustable lines instead of a single word.
Either I don't understand what you are saying, or I don't understand your use of the word "still." A new feature of the current app is "smart selection." I have it turned off. See view settings (Aa icon)
Compared it to my Logos 6 version on my laptop to see which words are actually in the text and the iPhone 5 app still fails to function properly.
It is possible you have an out of date resource. Please delete the bible from your device. Try using the resource "in the cloud." See if things are working properly. Then you can redownload.

I have smart selection off now and it seems to be working fine. Thanks for your help.

If you select more than one word and run look up, you will get results for all the words. Swipe to see other results. This can also happen if there isn't a one-to-one mapping between the English and original language words.

Now my iPad's look up doesn't find English words. I tried uninstalling and reinstalling the app, but still same results.

Can you be a bit more specific?
- Which resource are you using
- Which word are you attempting to look up0 -
Good Evening,
I was trying to perform a Look Up on the word "holy" in Logos iOS app. It does not work, but brings up the default dictionary on my iPad. I have the latest update from the Apple store.
Does anyone else still have the issue as well?

This is working as designed. To get greek/hebrew information Look Up must be run from text selected within a Bible.
