I have an Android tablet, but switched to a Win 8 tablet to run pc software, but I sure wish the Logos app would be worked on. I get updates on the Android Logos app regularly, but the Win 8 app just sits there in beta form. It would be great to get some of the basic functionality back.

I have a Surface Pro and yes, I would like a better Logos app...but if it's a question of limited resources, better use of Windows 8 gestures on Logos 5 would work for me, too. But both would be ideal, same functionality of the iPad version.

I just found that you can run the FULL Logos 5 on a Win 8 tablet (I have the Asus Vivotab Smart 32gb with Atom processor), putting the whole program and resources on a micro sd card and it runs quite well! I'll never use the Win 8 app now that I have the full version running very adequately.

HERE'S HOW

1. You have to format the microsd card in the NTFS format rather than FAT. Then you can install programs onto the card and they run (I also installed Photoshop Elements on my 32 gb card as well.)

2. Then install Logos 5.0. Its that easy. I didn't use hardly any of my very limited c drive space.

3. If you already have the resources and want to avoid redownloading and reindexing, be sure to select Custom installation and uncheck “Automatically Download Updates". Follow the suggestions here (method 2 or 3). http://wiki.logos.com/Quick_Installation_onto_multiple_computers

I too own a Surface RT tablet. I love the build quality, second to no others. I really wish Logos would develop the RT Logos app. I recently read a posting somewhere on one of the forums that Logos will wait to see how the RT sales go before committing time to development. Ugh! My solution has been to purchase another tablet, this one however, runs the full blown windows 8 software. Not my favorite choice, but it will do. I picked up an Acer W3 32 gig tablet for $269.00

David,

You say Logos 5 runs "very adequately" on your tablet. I tested Logos 5 out on the Samsung ATIV and Lenovo Think Tablet 2 with the same specs as your tablet, but installing it to the faster SSD, and found Logos ran unacceptably slow for me.

I followed the instructions and it did not work..

This remains one of the most upsetting things about LOGOS. I have not purchased any upgrades or new resources since they dropped their support for Windows mobile devices. I'm sorry, I'm not switching to iOS or android just for my Bible software. But my really crummy Bible app on my surface pro and my Nokia Lumia, is a constant reminder of how I lost productivity with Logos.

Faithlife has been offering a Windows app on CP and it stalled a long time ago at around 15%.

Given the amount of buzz and interest in Win10 devices after yesterday's event by Microsoft (Surface Book, Surface Pro 4, etc.) it seems a shame that Logos is still not interested in the platform.

Oh well - I refuse to buy Logos 6 until this happens. I have three Windows devices where I would like the ability to read my Logos books like ... books in tablet mode.
