Sync has been broken for MONTHS

Despite promises by the devs to fix the problem, there’s been no movement for months. I currently cannot sync notes or highlights between devices. It’s cast a serious shadow over my ability to study. 1* until fixed

The Best Bible Concordance App

Terrible

It’s so user unfriendly that every time I come back to it I have to research how to do this or that task. With Logos, on the other hand, it’s always quite intuitive where stuff is and how to do things. I regret having spent so much money on Accordance. Choose Logos, friends, and save yourselves lots of headaches.
