Hi there, 

Welcome. We're excited to launch the Logos Mobile apps 8.0 on iOS and Android. 

This new forum is the place for you to ask questions, report bugs, and get help from fellow Logos users. While Logos employees do drop in from time to time, you should call our support line, send an email (cs@logos.com), or use Report a Problem within the app. See below for instructions on how to use Report a Problem.

In order to save you time and ensure that we’ve all the info we need to take action on a bug, here’s how to report a bug:

• Open the App

• Go to the Main Menu by tapping on the 3 lines in the top left-hand corner. (On iPhones, tap the "More" tab)

• Go to the bottom of the Menu and select Help, noted by the circled question mark.

• Tap on “Report a Problem”

• Some devices will ask you what app to open this with. You want to select Email, or another app you may use for email purposes.

• Your logs will automatically be attached to this email

• Include as much of the following information in your email as you can:

• Language the app is in.
• What happened when the bug occurred? I.e. The app crashed, a book did not display or gave an error message.
• What was expected to happen instead of the bug?
• The function or resource(s) the bug occurred with.
• Any error messages that appeared prior or during the occurrence.
• The steps taken to encounter the bug (as specific as possible).
• A screenshot or two that shows the problem.
• Network status when the bug occurred.
• Any settings that were changed that may apply.
• Any other additional information you may feel is relevant. (other apps interacting with ours, modified phone settings)

By following the instructions above, you can ensure that your bug is recorded and triaged.

Thanks for helping us make our apps better!

Can you advise when the IOS app will be available? I checked updates and the App Store and did not see anything.

Thanks

Apple rolls out app updates across the globe on their own schedule. We shipped the apps on the app store this morning but we don't have control over when individuals see these updates.

John Fidel:

I figured as much and will wait for Apple to drop the update.

One quick question: What version of iOS are you running?

Another possibility if users are not seeing the update is they may be running an older, unsupported system version.

In that case, the app store just needs time to roll it out to all users. Yours should be available soon.

Daniel Di Bartolo:

Let us know what you think of Saved Layouts, new Notes Tool, and the new Homepage. 

Saved Layouts: Love them and wouldn’t change a thing.

New Notes Tool: Fantastic - only thing I feel like I’m missing is the ability to add/edit attachment points - I don’t think that’s currently possible?

New Homepage: The only times that I tend to use the homepage are to go to my reading list and to check/complete my prayers. I can’t see a quick way of ticking off my prayers at the moment - I’ve been opening each list, swiping each prayer and then marking them off that way. Is that the only way to do it at the moment? If so, I’d like to request that this get looked at so I can tick them off on the homepage itself.

Having said that, I can just about imagine that I might make more use of the homepage in future with the extra functionality that’s been added.

Nathan Parker:

I have an L8 license. Will the L8 features automatically appear in the Logos mobile apps, or do I need to manually update the apps to the latest version in the App Store?

You’d need the Logos 8 mobile app update for them to work.

There is an update coming out soon (hopefully) as quite a few people have had crashing issues. Faithlife staff have said that they asked for an expedited review for this.
