    We are unlikely to be able to develop for Windows Phone 7 until Microsoft adds support for other programming languages. While we use and like C#, much of our core engine is in C++, and we don’t have the resources to port it all for this platform.

        Have used a Windows 7 phone before, loved it (and this from a long-time iPhone user). The ONLY reason I returned the Nokia Lumia before the end of the month trial was.... you guessed it: no serious Bible study app available. I have a lot of coinage invested in Logos and Olive Tree (both available for Android and iOS). Both of these apps offer scads of different bible translations as well as a lot of commentaries and other study aides.

        But if a good Bible study app showed up for Windows 7 I would most likely switch from iPhone to the Lumia for good.

        As a seminary student and minister/scholar, I use Logos everyday and recommend it everyday to anyone who will listen. I am a PC guy and I love my Windows Phone. I have many friends with Windows Phones and we desperately need/want a functional Logos App. Please consider this. I am currently shopping for a decent Windows Phone app / software and I will switch if I have to. I would hate to do that, I really would. I know some students who are looking into Kindle and other avenues for books already. We are asking nicely....

        Microsoft has allowed native access to some companies. Maybe Logos can try and get access as well since you obviously have a large following in the Bible software industry.

        Prior to releasing a Logos app it seems like releasing a vyrso app might be a simpler first step. Any chance of that as a bridge approach?

      • fbfb commented  · 

        another request (vote?) for a logos app for windows mango. even partial functionality (e.g. the ability to read books, even if we can't search them) would be greatly appreciated!

      • Doug CuttingDoug Cutting commented  · 

        I really, really want to see this on Windows Phone, especially now that we have started using Proclaim. As the technology evangelist at my church, I would love to be able to promote this for iPhone, Android and Windows Phone. For those who are looking for a decent bible app while you wait for Logos, check out youversion.com/download.

        Windows Phone platform increases in popularity as Nokia sells "well over 1 million" Lumia Windows Phones.

        http://www.engadget.com/2012/01/26/nokia-releases-q4-2011-earnings-report-operating-profits-drop/

        Nokia released its latest quarterly earnings report today and has reported selling "well over" 1 million Windows Phones since the Nov 2011 launch. Not bad considering the popularity of Apple and Android and the fact that they are only just starting to ship in North America markets.

        Thanks Bob for the update. We'll just have to be patient and wait until the requisite tools that make it less time and resource intensive for yourselves become available.

        I've just clicked on Bradley's link to below to add my 3 votes to the MS Uservoice (I'm not a developer but signed up with 2 clicks). Please can all Logos users wanting a WP7 Logos app do the same to hurry up MS?

        @jjduro: Learning the Windows Phone 7 APIs isn't the main problem. The issue is: if we can *only* use Windows Phone 7 APIs, and can't reuse native code, we would have to rewrite all our native code from scratch, which could take several years. Interestingly enough, you can vote for a Native SDK at the Windows Phone Developer UserVoice (it's currently the #4 suggestion): http://wpdev.uservoice.com/forums/110705-app-platform/suggestions/1755203-native-sdk-to-support-c-development

        Here's something that should make this a lot easier:

        API mapping tool: iPhone/iOS to Windows Phone 7
        http://windowsphone.interoperabilitybridges.com/articles/api-mapping-tool-iphone-ios

        The iPhone/iOS to Windows Phone 7 API mapping tool helps developers find their way around when they discover the Windows Phone platform. With this tool, iPhone developers can grab their apps, pick out the iOS API calls, and quickly look up the equivalent classes, methods and notification events in WP7. A developer can search a given iOS API call and find the equivalent WP7 along with C# sample codes and API documentations for both platforms.

        Yes please, a Logos app for WP7. I've had Logos for WIndows PC for a while now, and the software is simply excellent. I look forward to having Logos on windows phone as well. I am planning a purchase of the HTC TItan which is running 7.5. All the user reviews rave about this phone. It would be nice to use the power and screen size of the Titan to run a Logos app. Blessings

      • JohnoJohno commented  · 

        The WP7 is my families mobile OS of choice. We enjoy the ease of use WP7 offers and I for one would love to see Logos 4 ported to WP7 to extend it's usefulness. It has a growing ecosystem with the benefits of "hooks" into the Windows family of products. I hope Logos sees this and makes Logos available to WP7 users.

      • AnonymousAnonymous commented  · 

        I just upgraded to WP7 and love it. But my Bible program I have been using for years has no 7 platform. I would LOVE to see Logos on my new phone. PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE make this happen.

      • PaulPaul commented  · 

        My employer (a church) is planning to provide me with a Windows 7 phone as they see Windows phones as integrating well with Exchange Server, Sharepoint etc. I would really really like to have Logos on the phone ie a proper Logos app for Windows 7 - I am sure I would use it all the time

      • Ernie BrogdonErnie Brogdon commented  · 

        PocketBible served me very well going back a decade (on my old iPaq PDA). Prior to buying my new HTC Titan WP7.5 phone, I researched replacements for all my Windows Mobile 6 software that I ran on my four-year old HTC Tilt. But after a year of waiting, it does not appear the PocketBible is going to create a version for WP7. I use Bible software daily, so it's central to my mobile life. I'm a Scholar's Library user.

      • Doug CuttingDoug Cutting commented  · 

        Come on Logos, Please give us an app for WP7. I am planning on recommending the new proclaim church presentation software to be used by my church and would love to have logos on wp7 for signals and remote control

      • JimJim commented  · 

        I will be buying a Windows phone next month and my only reservation is that Logos doesn't have an app for it. But I'm still going to buy the phone so Logos, hurry and build the app! Thank you.

      • KyleKyle commented  · 

        I'd LOVE Logos for Windows phones!!!! Been waiting for this since Logos first announced possibly offering a mobile app & chose a windows based phone because of it!
