I am thinking of buying a I Pad Pro. How much memory do you recommend? 128/256?
Mel, if you follow Logos recommendations (download resources you need, not your whole library), and if the Logos app were your only app, you'd be lucky to hit a gbyte.
Therefore, what else? I run Accordance also ... that's 4g. My maps, another 10g, Kindle books, maybe a gbyte. Art, 3g. Pictures/videos ... hmmmm.
Hopefully you get the point ... depends on what else you have. Logos isn't a big footprint unless you go crazy. And even then.

For clarification: The iPad Pro (as with all iOS devices) runs the mobile app (rather than the desktop app). You can download books, but it isn't recommended that you download your entire library. Many features run "in the cloud" and not offline. As such, the amount of memory is largely irrelevant for Logos purposes.
The caveat about downloading all your resources is that it takes time to do it and uses up your storage space. I've kept about 4000 resources (about 40 GB) on my device and never had a problem. I currently have the iPad Pro 128 GB model, so I have plenty of space available.
Mel,
I just bought one. The 128 GB should be fine for Logos. Its video, music, and media that will take up your space. Will you be putting much of that on your device?
Also, consult this website for prices: http://prices.appleinsider.com/#ipad
I just bought my iPad Pro from B&H and paid $866 for my wifi only 128 GB model, when buying it from Apple would have cost me $1,027. It had free shipping, plus if you live in any state but New York, you don't have to pay sales tax on it either. So that'll save you even more. This is for a brand new iPad too.
Hope this helps.
I can't stress enough that it just isn't wise to download thousands of books on the mobile app. It isn't designed for it, and many problems can come your way.
I see nothing on the iPad app support page that describes potential problems (other than download time and space considerations) if the user downloads thousands of resources. Maybe I missed it. Or maybe, if there is a real concern, Logos should highlight it on the support page. Like I said, I've always had thousands of resources on my iPads over the years and never had a problem.

Bought my iPad Pro 12.9" 128gb for $750 out the door from Ebay, I even posted the deal here. :P
In landscape mode, I feel like reading a real book.
Thanks Alabama.
Is Logos fully functional on the iPad pro as it is on a desktop?
No. The desktop runs the full desktop version of Logos. iOS devices run the mobile version of Logos. They are different.
Is the functionality any different between the Pro and the iPad?
Functionality of the iOS version of Logos is the same on all iOS devices.

The IOS Logos app is virtually the same whether you use it on an iphone, ipad, or ipad pro. With that said, you should REALLY investigate remote desktop on the 12.9. It's jawdropping.
You can just remote into your desktop and run the full version of Logos on your iPad Pro 12.9. It will work with even a 9.7 or iPhone but your screen will be much smaller.
I have have no problems with split screen as you see although not every application is SC capable.
Dan
Wow Dan, the split screen is really nice! Are you able to split the screen with 2 logos apps? Maybe Logos/Verbum or Noet? Also really like your case and background pic! Did the case come with the pictures or did you add them to it somehow? Any chance you could tell us where you found them?
I have an older iPad that can't do the split screen feature, but seeing this might give me something to save up for!

As Dan said, yes. However, you don't need a "pro" to run them side by side. My Air 2 works fine.
Does that remote app work for iPad mini? I believe I have the 3rd generation.
It should... although the smaller the screen, the less useful (imo).
[:D]
Haha very true!
