Sermon Editor sync wish list

Like many, I'm excited by the possibilities of the new Sermon Editor but feel that it's really unusable until we can sync with the mobile apps to preach from. 

And as I've thought about it I've found myself thinking, "I really hope I can *insert useful function* when I can sync with the Logos app" about a number of things. So for the benefit of the developers (who are probably already way ahead on this) and other interested users, I thought I'd put them into a wish list!

So, things I'm hoping we're able to do when we get to sync sermons to tablets:

  • Ability to toggle whether to swipe pages, tap to turn page, scroll etc (I would personally prefer to swipe).
  • A "start" button that starts a (discreet) timer to show how long you've been preaching for (my congregation might thank you for this one).
  • Freedom to change font size
  • Download the sermon to the tablet so it's not dependent on wifi connection while preaching
  • An "edit" mode, so that I can make last minute adjustments right in the app.
  • A "don't dim/sleep" option, so that the tablet doesn't switch off while I'm preaching (I know you can do this in the tablet settings, but it would be great to not have to do this each time I preach!).

That's what I have so far. Any others!? What about how the app might interact with Proclaim, which I don't currently use? 

This has enormous potential, and I'm really excited by all the time this could save in the future.

    As long as there are styling options in desktop app that my ipad will honor, I'm good with that

    I see this one as a MUST have

    That would be nice, but I would not want to wait on Read only so they can implement editing.

    I think the priority has to be making them available (in some fashion), while online or offline. According to FL they are working on that in some form
