Is there a URL scheme to launch the Faithlife app?  If so, is there any way to jump directly to the prayer requests or today's requests?

Similarly, is there an official scheme to for the Logos app?

I see this thread, but its unclear if libronixdls: is officially supported and the right mechanism.

libronixdls custom URL scheme

    There currently isn't a way to do this although the dev team is taking at look at possibly adding this in the Logos Reader app (Prayer Lists will be in the upcoming version 5 release).

    There's not really an "official" way of doing this but if you run Logos Desktop, open a resource, click the panel menu icon (upper left) and then click 
    "Copy location as: URL", it should give you an idea of what should work (you'll want to past the clipboard to view the URL).  Not all of these are fully supported on Mobile.

    Thanks Kevin.

    If v5 reader will do this, then that will meet my needs.

    I'm aware of the URL possibilities of "Copy location as: URL".  I'm hoping

    logos4:PrayerList;title=

    will be supported in v5 cause that will definitely solve my problems.

    Hi Kevin,

    What is the procedure to request to participate in the iOS betas?  I'd like to be able to test the URL schemes, prayer lists and other 5.x features.  I assume you use TestFlight?

    Hi Kevin,

    Do you know if this was ever added to the beta?  If so, please let me know and I'll try to launch the reader prayer list via URL.

    It's not available in the beta; we are still considering adding it but there might be a limitation in the app preventing it.

    Kevin,

    It would be great if links in an email, OneNote, Word document etc would open to the resource in question in the Bible app (iOS).

    I know the desktop application has a lot of great linking already.

    Regards Jim.

    This is a question more for the makers of your email client, OneNote & Word. I do know, however, that appropriate links in a forum post CAN open the given resource within the mobile app. Try THIS

    EDIT: My memory may be failing me... I am currently experimenting. The link DOES open the app. The first time I clicked, it brought the app up into memory. The second time, it brought up the resource (it took a LONG time, the resource wasn't downloaded and our internet isn't great... the kids are watching netflix).

    EDIT 2: Let's try LOGOS EDITION and BIBLE

    EDIT 3: It looks like Logos editions & bible references work fine, but there is a limitation to Vyrso editions due to their nature. Both the later links 1) opened the right resource and 2) opened to the exact spot they were supposed to.

    To my knowledge this URL scheme is not currently supported.
