Logos: Deep Bible Study Customer Service

Logos: Deep Bible Study Positive Reviews

GO DEEPERI am really impressed with the abilities the Logos software enables me to have. Notes on scriptures. Word meanings and their origins. The original Hebrew and its pronunciations. Bible word studies and word searches. Cutting my search time down immensely so I may study more in depth and for longer. I can discover more scriptures using words I want to understand more fully in the amount of time it takes me to type the word. I can even access a nightly devotion and never lose my place. I can do everything on my phone so I am always ready to show my friends. It’s not just for pastors. It’s not just for sermon writing. This allows me a deeper study with My Savior. This is education at my desk or in my pocket so His word is ever before me. It’s an app with easy to use tools for the layman that he too may explore his Bible more fully and ‘Knock’ at the door. Seek and you may find. This allows me to seek ever more deeply and quickly. As a mom of five, time to study is short. The ability to go from page to page and reference to reference quickly is important. The ability to use the app anywhere helps because you never know when you may get a free moment or the urge to seek understanding..Jgourle3Version: 29.0.1

Great Digital LibraryI just love what Logos Bible Software does! It is a mighty robust library that is designed and crafted to provide nothing less than the best in research of many spiritual genres! I just don’t know what I would do or where I would be had it not been for Lord and these added tools in ministry. Those of us who preach and teach all the time as well as working on a secular job, truly value this tool. Keep up the great work of advancing this digital library for the advancement of the kingdom of God. More I can say but it would turn into a book. So many great features; the ease of access to information; the ability to prepare sermons and bible study effortlessly and the list goes on and on and on. Thank you Logos. It’s a little expensive but I truly understand and appreciate it for all it’s worth. I would never be able to afford these resources if I bought hard copies. I would never be able to go through so many different resources all at once without the clutter if I had hard copies. I would never be able to research manually through all the materials any other way. Okay I will just stop here…….PastorsonVersion: 32.0.1

Lots of Tabs - Poor Instructions on UsageI have used Logos "Diamond" level desktop version 7 for the past eight years and have no complaints about its resources or functionality. However, I cannot say the same for this “new” iPad tab version app and its functionality. Compared to the previous version, which I have used during the last two years, Faithlife has failed to forewarn users of such sudden changes in its software, nor has it provided adequate information or instruction for previous version users to migrate to this new design. How unfortunate and yes, I did review those “Speedy Gonzales videos. What a waste of programming time with absolutely no real instructional substance. I was blindsided from one day to the next when I opened the app and found you I am now ignorant on how to get from one aspect of the program to another. You got it! I am not happy with Faithlife’s sudden approach in forcing current users to learn a new way of navigating its app software, without adequate warning. At the very least, Faithlife could have given current users the option of remaining with the old navigation menus that are engrained in one’s mind and then allow users to switch once better “tab” menu instructions are available.

Hopefully helpful critiquesThis is really a wonderful app that has helped me organize my Bible studying and even do some inductive Bible study. I have one critique though, well two, and I think they could really make the app better. It has to do with the notes feature. I love that you can make notebooks and see all of the highlights and notes you have done in one place. I wish though that it would display the text that was highlighted their in the notes section, or at least the reference. This would really make the notes feature more useful, to go back and see what was highlighted quickly and find what you were looking for or catch themes or similarities easier. Right now you have to open the note and click them then it opens the chapter were it is, this is nice but cumbersome if you are looking for something or trying to study a theme with this tool. Another suggestion, I wish there was a preference/option to make certain highlighters default into a created notebook. For example, a place to make everything in pink highlighter pin could automatically go into a notebook called resurrection. This would really aid in topical study. Just a few hopefully helpful suggestions, thank you.SongleenVersion: 9.1.1

Mobile App 2022 Not as Good as it WasUsing the mobile App on iPad the highlighting is basic and doesn’t have the versatility it did have to be able to highlight multiple choices over a word or sentence. The screen is not as versatile as it was before where you could slide the dividing line between books/Bible and make it the size you wanted or needed; now your choice in size and layout is pre-determined. Why they made these changes when they had an exceptional App to begin with makes it irritating to use to limit the flexibility it did have & dumbs a person down. UPDATE: The highlighting remains as versatile as it was before, but the pop-up box is not large enough to show what a person has highlighted and can make additional highlighting or highlight over those same words. On my screen it is very difficult to see a person needs to scroll or slide up to see there is more in that pop-up box. Sometimes the pop-up box shows specific highlight and sometimes it isn’t visible unless you know to slide the pop-up box screen up. The screen is pre-determined with options to size it, but I haven’t found the center slider that lets you make your own size dividing/splitting the screen between books/Bibles..BjndVersion: 22.0.1

The Logos Bible! Getting better but can always improve.The dev team is awesome. They are really working hard to making this app a great study and resource tool. The app is getting a lot more user friendly and easier to study. It is not the desktop app but it is getting there. I use the app more than I use the desktop app. The one thing I would love for the dev team to work on would be the note taking functionality. The app makes you leave your reading and takes you off to a different screen. Would it be possible to have notes in a tab? Also it would be nice to know when you created a note so you can reference back when you created it for reference. It would be nice to have the note with the date on the side of the note. Other than that this app surpasses every other bible App in the App Store when it comes to bible study and accessing a huge library of resources. Nothing else has the tremendous amount of resources as Logos does. You have to try it to believe it. The Logos team just keep out doing themselves. The app keeps getting better with every release. Do not hesitate to get this app..SamraixVersion: 6.0.7

Great App for Growing in Knowledge of the LordBefore downloading Logos, I was using the youversion Bible app. However, the update to include a daily devotional with click-through stories and videos was a needless distraction from God’s Word, and made me all too aware that the app was supporting and promoting, at best, a low interpretation of Scripture. Logos, on the other hand, works like a digital library. There is no pushing of any particular teacher. I appreciate the resources and tools for Bible study such as concordances, maps, dictionaries to help understand translations, and commentaries from Biblical teachers. I also like that every highlight color is able to be labeled. My favorite way to study the Bible is still without my phone. I like to flip through pages and feel the Bible at my fingertips, but this app is helpful to have as a supplement to my usual system of study. Recommended for serious students of the Bible! No gimmicks or feel-good fluff, just a library of materials to assist you in studying..Itmademerateit105Version: 9.6.3

Taking Notes and View Scripture is STILL a PainThe new version is an improvement, but my issues still remain unaddressed. Please let us open AND CREATE by default our notes and community notes as a secondary document. Original Review: I really enjoy using Logos on my computer. I use the iOS application to keep track of my prayer list, do my daily scripture/devotional reading, and review bible study notes before bible study. One major things keeps me from giving this application five stars. It is essentially impossible using my old iPad (4th generation) or even my new iPad Pro 10.5” to simultaneously take notes and review scripture. This is a HUGE drawback. If you try to review surrounding scripture, it closes (and saves) your note. If you are doing a public note, you CANNOT edit the note after it saves. iOS now allows me to use the ESV bible app with the Logos app so I now can (finally) not have several bibles out during worship services (I look like I am working on a term paper each Sunday morning). Logos should allow me to take public notes while using their application by default. I cannot imagine a circumstance using an iPad where you want the note to freeze your reading materials..Txgsu43Version: 6.0.3

Love the update except for one annoyance...**Update - Adding a star for amazing customer response. My Recents are already back! Thanks so much for bringing such a powerful and easy to use reference tool! The new update with tabs is phenomenally helpful, making it very easy to switch between several references easily. But in the update one helpful feature was dropped. In looking up references, you had three choices for selection: Verse, Contents and Recent. The Recent choice allowed me to bounce around several resources but easily look back to where I had started from and return to it. This is especially useful when I am studying through a book but then bounce around other books while listening to a message. It’s very easy to see, and return to, where I was in the book I was studying through. Now the choices are Verse, Contents and Favorites. Not nearly as useful as I will have to remember to select a passage as a Favorite before going anywhere else. Please give me my Recents back. :).AirmannVersion: 6.0.3

Professional Grade Bible Research software!Professional-grade Bible study/research software! Professional level software for Bible research, study, and heavy duty graduate or Ph.D. level Assignments where every prof is gonna want an excellent research paper from you! Of course, I’m not speaking of the Logos app you download free. The Logos starter app available for download is pretty powerful in its own right. But as soon as possible you should upgrade to the Professional Logos apps which will make short work of several major research papers. After University or seminary, Logos Bible software will help you continue to grow in the Christian faith and your relationship with God through Jesus and the Holy Spirit! Logos is fantastic and rewarding on a daily basis. Worth the extra expense and steep learning curve! academic work while attending seminary! I have been using Logos Bible Software for over 15 years and it has really made my academic/seminary work easy! Most importantly, my heavy pastoral responsibilities (preaching, teaching, prayer, counseling) run smoothly. Highly recommended!.Tony Mars RoverVersion: 8.12.5

Powerful, but also frustratingThe Logos app is extremely powerful, but in order to really tap into that power you have to spend a lot of money in order to have the resources in your library and the datasets to utilize that library. That’s only the beginning of the frustration. Once you do have the resources, highlighting or copying on Apple iPhones and iPads can be a nightmare. So much so that I end up using Tecarta Bible app instead. Logos just can’t seem to get copying and highlighting to work consistently…when it does work. The app has a difficult time differentiating between the magnifying glass, dictionary lookup, selecting text to highlight or selecting text to copy. Plus, half the time it doesn’t respond at all to dragging across text to highlight. You end up shutting down the app and restarting before it finally responds. I was instructed by the app support staff at Logos to uninstall it, shut down my iPhone 12 Pro, restart and reinstall. Didn’t help at all (and doesn’t explain why I have the same issues on my iPad). So, powerful, but not what it could or should be..BobPaulMcVersion: 9.15.0

Look no further than Logos Bible SoftwareThe Logos App is free but buy the real deal... With it's easy too use platforms, immensely powerful/state of the art search ability, integration with presentation software, automated slide generator and preaching mode- Logos is a one stop shop. My Microsoft Word app is so lonely now, and I'm not apologizing to the Gates, instead I'm thanking the Pritchetts. I use an Apple iPad with the "Pages App" to write my notes (which translates it to text) then airdrop it to my MacBook, copy past it into Sermon Manager, adjust some things, and Viola! Seriously, it's that easy and saves a ton of time so you can go back to doing things like listening to people fight over what color the walls will be painted, whether to have nasty prepackaged communion cups or stale square tiny biscuits with tainted grape juice, or you know... things like that. ;) Just get Logos (at least Silver or Gold), you won't regret it, promise!.HatinGasPricesVersion: 9.4.0

Awesome study resourceI completely enjoyed Logos. That is until a recent update that changed the entire app. I cannot figure out how to view things in a way that is user friendly anymore. The most recent update completely changed the layout of the Home Screen. However, all of the features of Logos are still worth the hassle of learning the new layout. Being able to have multiple resources open and link them together so they scroll simultaneously is amazing. For example, you can have a Bible and commentary open together and link them so when one scrolls, the other follows along. This makes studying the Bible much easier. Additionally, every resource is searchable, which makes topic studies easier as well. The recent update in the app (iPad version, not sure about other versions) is a minor inconvenience that I will have to learn to live with - unless they make an option to revert back to a previous layout or add more customization options. Overall, I appreciate Logos. Although slightly expensive, and you don’t get the physical copy of books purchased (sometimes it is nicer to hold the book physically and book mark certain pages), it is worth the cost. The previous app layout would highlight sales and even a free book of the month. The website is still easy to use and does all of that. Despite the very minor shortcomings, I would still recommend Logos to anyone wanting a great way to study the Bible..JB_1987Version: 9.10.0

Improved efficiency in my studies!I’ve now tried a few different tools and combinations of tools to enhance my study experience and the Logos iOS iPhone and iPad app paired with the web and desktop version really has improved my efficiency in my studies. The user experience is very well designed and intuitive making it a pleasant and non distracting experience while studying. Additionally the ability to note scripture and automatically hyperlink directly to verses you reference is a massive time saver and creates a seamless experience when reviewing past notes in passing as you read through scripture. There are some opportunities for improvement related to UI viewing options I would like to see in the future such as scaling of the UI in the iPad version which would improve visibility when using more complicated layouts. Overall this app is a fantastic step in enabling better studying and reference for notes and additional resources all in one place..Justin T. ThamesVersion: 25.0.2

Improving but not very usefulThe app is improving but it is my least favorite bible app. Two main issues are a lack of a coherent design philosophy that makes the interface inconsistent and confusing and sloppy implementation of the features that do exist. I tend to buy duplicate copies of Logos resources in olivetree if I want to use them on mobile. If bandwidth is available the web version of Logos is far superior no crashes much more functionality. Latest annoyances other than crashing are the inability to access tablee of contents or index in csb bible notes with out going to gen 1:1 or rev and manually scrolling. Inability to switch book to book in commentary sets. Olive tree does all these so I have to purchase more duplicate resources. By the way I would have posted these comments as feedback elsewhere if you had a method of providing feedback (your forums appear to not be actively monitored)..ArazonanVersion: 6.0.7

Buggy!I would love to give this app a great review. Unfortunately, I can’t do that. As most Logos users probably do, I use mobile devices to read. This is my primary method of reading the Bible, devotionals, commentaries, etc. The desktop version of Logos is solid, however, the iOS apps are filled with bugs when attempting access resources online AND offline. I’ve reported these problems weeks ago, even months ago, and I received no initial response. Two weeks later I had to call and report the issues again. Still no response. I escalated to my sales associate and someone finally contacted me via email with a message saying “we are working on it.” No follow-up since, over one to two months now. Still having the same problems. I would love to see these bugs are fixed so I can give this app a great review. My hope is that someone from Logos that can do something about these issues see this review and contact me..Life of worshipVersion: 8.0.6

Retired Air Force ChaplainThe app is awesome and I use Logos on my laptop for sermon prep and other research. I have been using Logos since approx 1992 when I entered seminary. I use the resources, such as the 365 Day Devotional Commentary, as a Bible reading companion daily. I am still familiarizing myself with its capabilities and features. E.g. How to get back to original place I was reading after reading from another resource where I was gathering more information. I have enjoyed being able to down load bible versions to have them available off line. I have also enjoyed the passage and exegetical search engines that I use in personal devotions, Bible study with others, or in chapel when other chaplain is preaching. So thank you for all your hard work in making it a more powerful research and search engine with each update..Chaplain5Version: 32.0.1

Needs updateI feel that with the recent power of the new iPad’s, especially the iPad pros, the app should have followed suit to become more powerful. I believe having the same home page as the desktop version would be most beneficial, being able to scroll the cards. I would suggest perhaps making the iPad Pro versions as close to the desktop version as it is more powerful and able to do more. Love the app and use it daily just hope that a more modern update is in the works. Previous post: Still my favorite Bible study too especially now on the larger iPad Pro. I like that there are a lot of features from the desktop version and I hope that they continue to add more to the pro iPad. If I had to make a request I would add the crossword puzzle maker! What a great way to pass the time when traveling and using mobile devices! And the sermon editor document tool and also the visual word mapping..Optimus85Version: 8.11.1

Incredibly well thoughtLogos is a fee-based product, offering a ton of very up-to-date resources (plus all of the classical resources one gets with free products). In terms of overall cost, Logos is fairly expensive, but worth the cost. In terms of the app, very nicely done. One swipes to the left or right to view different resources, or clicks an internal link, etc. It is very easy to navigate, which is important considering how many resources one might use in a given study. I would like the app to have the same functionality as the desktop version (Sermon Editor, for example, is view-mode only in the app), but I imagine that the app would be even larger still. As I use my iPad while writing my sermon by hand or typewriter, and then on the desktop, I don’t find this an issue. Logos is very impressive overall. The app is very well thought..Agabus the blogVersion: 6.2.2

Logos is great, but the app is limitedI’ve used the desktop version of Logos for years. It’s feature rich and wonderful. This app, if I didn’t have the prior experience of the desktop version, is also good. But knowing what Logos is capable of, I find the iPad app very limited: limited Facebook, limited resources, no offline search, no pronunciation, limited “info” window, limited contextual (“right click”) menu, limited Bible word study, no psalm explorer, etc. Why is this the case when more and more people are using tablets as their main computer? I can still use Logos to read, but if I need to do a study, I’ll need to pull out my laptop (which I otherwise no longer use) for the desktop version. Faithlife, please update the iOS version of Logos to include more of the features that make Logos so helpful..Joshua BriscoeVersion: 9.10.0

Love my Bible program!I sometimes stop and ponder if I really need the power of Logos, with all its bells and whistles, since I am just a Christian who love the Word of God and studies it each day. But I have been using the basic program for years and just can’t see going away from it. I am so pleased with the ability to customize my Bible Reading Plan; the ability for side-by-side versions of the same Scripture that I’m studying; the dictionary - for those words that stump me; and the great commentaries to help me understand. Yes, I feel it is the ‘Cadillac’ of Bible programs, and I love it! I’m an iPhone and iPad user also, and the ability to use a mobile device or my desktop PC interchangeably is just outstanding! May God continue to bless Logos with awesome programmers and other staff to continue improving an already awesome program!.Jesus_KidVersion: 9.0.0

From a Church MsmbedI have been studying the Word for the past 5 years of being a being a believer and the method I use, verse by verse with cross references, a dictionary, and concordance, everything I am looking for comes with this app. I purchased the NASB Bible because that is the one I use, and I purchased a commentary on 1st Corinthians. I had trouble finding different books on the apple App but when I called the excellent customer service I was able to go to the website and purchase what I needed and it appeared in my library immediately. This app is am Incredible tool and I look forward to digging “deep” for my weekly Bible Study group. I am also looking at the Bronze package for logos 9 which costs less that my current TV service(no eternal value) so I should be able to swing it when the time comes..JiffyCCG-FrankVersion: 9.0.1

Virtually unusableI have been with Logos since Logos 4 this app locks up so often it makes it so frustrating to use. It doesn’t help to delete the app and reinstall there’s no use downloading your books because they will freeze up the whole app freezes up so often it makes it virtually unusable. Very disappointed in the lack of technical expertise that is given to this app when other apps work just fine with books downloaded or not downloaded. I am astounded that faithlife/Logos has not invested in this app and it’s controversial use or I should say lack there of with all the thousands of dollars I’ve spent on this program you think they would put a little money from each of us into making this app more effective and more productive enough said..Jjh marshallVersion: 9.12.0

The App is so basic, not the full thing you would expectI like the Logos software for my MacBook. So I gave it three stars. However, the Mobile App for my new iPad Pro is sad and at first frustrating. I have to do all my study on my Mac but then can access some, not all, some of what I am doing on the iPad. I got the iPad to replace the laptop because it has more capabilities than the laptop. Unfortunately, logos doesn’t pair well if you want all the bells and whistles. For instance, nope can’t use the Apple Pencil, sorry! And nope you can’t log out, really you can’t logout on the app. You have to uninstall and reinstall and log in. Nope you cant download your books, so some searching is a no go. Basically the app is a bible reading software with some ways to look up commentary on your phone and that is it! Really. Faithlife calls it a “reader app” if you are looking for a desktop app for your new 2020 iPad Pro with all the bells and whistles this is not it..SandivandVersion: 8.12.6

Good app but font is horribleIt's a shame you cannot change the font, just size. Why can't we have the option of changing the text to display in a font for the user to choose. The default (and only) one is ugly. I would prefer a more classical, more pronounced serif one. Those are better for reading long texts. Some people like sans serif, though. People with dyslexia can really benefit from the Open Dyslexia font. Some people like monospace. Give us options. Olive Tree does a really good job at this, why can't you give us font options? Also, I have over two thousand resources. We should be able to favorite the resources we use the most in a separate section so that we can readily access them at any time. And please categorize the resources we own into bibles, devotionals, magazines, etc. like you do in the Logos store (check how Olive Tree does it). You already do that for the daily readings section with devotionals. Just apply it to all resources..RekkssVersion: 6.0.5

Best compiled packageLogos bible software in indicative of the name "Word" bible software. It brings in depth accessibility, language (Hebrew, Greek) and understanding to us who are serious about studying to show ourselves approved of the word. Not knowing the original language, culture and setting, can often bring misleading and incorrect teachings, now that's a thing of the past. Revelations from the Holy Spirit can now be cemented with proper exegesis to reach the lay person or the learnt intellectual alike. Technology has given us wonderful tools and the immediate access to resources when He changes our message or speaks, is wonderful with the portable tools such as iPads and iPhones. However; let's not leave the Holy Spirit out of the Logos when we deliver, Amen Logos! I am continually recommending Logos to my students and people who are serious about their spiritual life. Those who have tried it has seen the benefits in your souls and natural lives. Logos software was become a staple of their diet. Con: If someone is not fluent and an excellent speller using the search will be a setback. Aid in spelling would be good as most word search engine does. Sales is pushed a lot, something personal could be given back on birthdays to show application for those who buy and support a lot.

Keeps getting better, but layouts don’t syncThis recent logos update continue to make the iPad app wonderful. I was excited about logos 9 and the sermon builder and preaching mode, yet it’s downside was unable to edit sermons on the iPad app. BUT no more! Being able to edit sermons on the iOS apps is game changing as I can make last minute tweaks without my computer. Two things I would like to see though 1. In the sermon builder a way to hot key the different text formats for continuous typing and not having to drag the mouse down the menu. As well as the ability to create custom font format for your presentation style. 2. I would enjoy seeing a layout I made on my iOS be accessible on my Mac and vice versa. Currently my iOS layouts and Mac layouts are separate and will not sync. If this is user error, please help, but I don’t see any option to sync layouts..Dfw-nativeVersion: 9.4.0

An honest assessment!!Logos is a genius application/ forum. It’s a “one stop shop”! I love the fact that it has lots of literary options to choose from. Logos has an application that can be shared with friends from church, work, school, or even a online bible study group that was put together on social media! This app has tools that I’ve found to be extremely useful. This app makes studying and even navigating through references easier, especially when I’m preaching. It allows me to flow through the subject matter seamlessly! The daily bible study guide, commentary, and lexicons are amazing! There are a few things that I would like to see made easier, more accessible, and available. But its flaws are eclipsed by its pure awesomeness!! I mean could you imagine what the actual full version can do? I ABSOLUTELY LOVE IT AND CANT IMAGINE USING ANYTHING ELSE!!!!!.Eek usVersion: 8.8.0

Tabs Tabs everywhere, but not on the same screenWhile I love Logos and the awesome capabilities it has, I think the IPad app version should mirror the way the desktop/web version works. Or have it’s own app, instead of there just being a generic mobile. There is more space for it to look like the desktop/web version, than the IPhone mobile app version. On days I can’t lug my laptop around, to be able to open the app on my IPad and not have to toggle between windows would honest be amazing. I’m wondering if that is going to be in the works at some point. I don’t mind using the web version, but to have it in the app....especially with the new logos 9, I was expecting some major update with the app. Other than this, keep up the good work, and thank you for bringing this wide knowledge database to our fingertips..ArieconVersion: 9.0.1

World-class. Occasionally frustrating.Logos is an amazingly powerful tool with no equal. That said, using it on iPad (or mobile) is occasionally incredibly frustrating. Somehow, mouse integration doesn’t really work; you have to resort to tapping, since the app stops responding to clicks. Highlighting acts bizarrely; it will either highlight too much or not enough. Finally, the app is not 1:1, capability-wise, with the desktop app. There are random things you can’t do unless you use Logos on Windows or Mac. For example, if you want to use the Text Comparison tool, you’re unable to pick the bibles to choose from unless you do so on desktop. Unfortunately for me, I don’t have a computer running Mac or Windows, so I have no ability to choose my translations. There are also other tools, like the Psalm Explorer, that inexplicably aren’t available on iOS despite being available on web..CelestialnVersion: 23.0.1

Request for changeI am enjoying the new design. I’ve used the feature to show my favorite bible. It is nice not to have to look for the Bible but that I just have to click the button. I like being able to keep as many books / resources open as I want. My request for change: can you add a way to “lock” the resource into full screen mode? I want to keep the menus off the screen while I scroll up or down. Right now the menus show up and cover the viewing area. When I am reading in low light mode, I’m distracted by the sudden change of color on the screen when the menus appear. Could the menus also change color to match the low light color scheme? For example, I’ll be reading in while in bed. My background will be dark and when I accidentally bump my screen down or scroll a bit toward earlier in the book, the stark contrast of the white menu on the black reading background causes me to glance away from the text I’m reading. I’ve been trying to get used to it for three weeks and I’m not sure if I’ll be able to adjust to this. I’ve been able to adjust to the other changes and I’m enjoying it. But after three weeks of trying out the app, I decided to request the change. Thanks for listening..HouBmanVersion: 6.0.5

Love this app!I’ve been wanting to go deeper in my faith and understanding of Gods word. Logos has everything you could ever want in a Bible study resource. There are a TON of features, and it does take a few hours to get used to and find your style of study within the app, but once you do it is incredibly satisfying. I love the fact that you can purchase additional resources from their library to take your studies to the next level. They did an incredible job of taking the desktop app and seamlessly turning it into a mobile app that has all of the same functionality. That’s not something you often see in apps with this many features. If you are looking for ways to grow closer to God or just study Christianity, look no further than Logos..Cov_ManVersion: 30.0.4

Will not load-updateI like to take my time and use an app (I don't write that many, unless I am VERY happy or have other strong comments) before I write a review. However, it is hard to use an app that will not open. I have just started to use the Logos app a fair amount, when all of a sudden it will not open. A Bible you can not open is not worth having. One must always be able to access the Bible you are carrying. Stability is more important than features. All the features in the world are of no use if you can not open the app. After deleting and reinstalling now loads, however, not always on the first try. I do like Logos Bible App even if it is a little buggy. I will update again sometime. Also, wish I could do at least some continuous scrolling ESP. on the phone. How do I copy a passage to send to someone?.YilofallVersion: 9.14.1

Please improve text comparison featureGreat app in concert with the desktop version but the mobile text comparison feature needs improvement. This is one of the most common things I do and would love to do all my studies within the logos ecosystem for sake of simplicity but this feature just doesn’t work well. I often find myself using the YouVersion app instead as it just seems to work the smoothest for text comparison than any other app I’ve used. Please let us choose which Bibles we want to see and not see in the tool as well as the order we see them. Also give the option to get rid of the those red bubbles which often make things confusing and the “% difference” indicator. Thank you for listening!.CalebR11Version: 9.12.0

Great Tool for StudyThis is truly one of the best tools/apps that I have ever used. There are many features and plans to help develop our understanding of our God which can be honed to meet our specific needs as we grow. I upgraded from Logos 9 to 10 and have zero regrets and even upgraded my package so that I could scan my physical library into my digital database. This is especially helpful with resources that are given to me from family and friends that I may not have had the funds to get otherwise. While it deserves a better rating than the 4 stars that I am giving, it isn’t perfect. There are a few features I wish it had that I have seen in other apps and study tools. Features that I may not have thought about had I not used other tools in my quest for knowledge and understanding..DW MaysVersion: 28.0.3

Growing in Grace & Knowledge of GodI have been putting off writing this review because when I am studying I get so engulfed in the Word and resources of Logos, that I didn’t want to stop studying! Today, since I haven’t started studying yet😀! 😂, I do want to share with anyone who is serious about studying the Bible,& learning about the God of the Bible, I highly recommend this amazing tool! It has helped in my personal growth, it has helped me come to know my Savior in a deeper more intimate way. I am learning the ♥️ of God as I study. I know this is a long review; I guess I waited too long to share😇. Because of Logos, I have built an online Bible study group, that encourages others to join me as we dig deeper into the Word of God! The depth of resources available in this tool is unimaginable! My study group said” feel lime I am in Seminary! “ I 💕 Love Logos, I Love it on my phone. I wish I had found it sooner! Get it today and FOLLOW THE INSTRUCTIONS TO GROW IN THE GRACE(that we’ve been given while procrastinating about being serious about Jesus!) and KNOWLEDGE of our LORD AND SAVIOR JESUS CHRIST. ”But grow in the grace and knowledge of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. To him be the glory both now and to the day of eternity. Amen.“ ‭‭2 Peter‬ ‭3‬:‭18‬ ‭.WWF ChamperVersion: 31.0.1

Online titles are greatOverall the product (desktop, laptop and mobile) is solid. I’ve had the logos 6 for a couple of years now and honestly I bought it thinking that I would use it way more often. Due to it being way more difficult to use than I thought it should be I quit using it until recently. After giving it another shot and a lot more time it’s been growing on me again. BE AWARE there is a BIG LEARNING CURVE for new users. The depth of study is incredible. Compared to other programs/Apps it is good, if your looking to invest some time and a chunk of change to study this is the one for you. If you don’t need a ton of resources than maybe consider an alternative. I’m not trying to dissuade anyone at all, but it can be a substantial investment so do your homework. Regards.LrudaVersion: 6.1.1

Resourceful when you’re seeking GodI’ve had this app for a long time. A previous pastor showed me and he used it in Bible Studies. Over the years, events have taken place in my life and I wasn’t sure what to do! I would write down my concerns or what’s troubling my mind with a list of similar words. Then I’d do a word search using the Bible Study tool and glance through all the Hebrew and Greek words translated into the English word. Then I’d skim the verses to find a Bible story or situation similar to mine. Then I’d search additional resources (dictionaries, topical bibles, specialized topical books, etc) for additional insight. Saved me WEEKS & MONTHS of research. I had a better understanding of what God would do, which gave me his peace, improved my faith, and I decided with confidence! Thank you Logos!.KnnthlwVersion: 8.12.7

Great Bible ProgramThis is a very good Bible program for the iPad. Logos is miles beyond anything else out there on the market. It allows you to split the screen, using several Bible translations at once, including Greek and Hebrew. I can import books from my Logos account to the iPad memory and save them there for off line work. I do wish the HomePage gave more options, sort of like the HomePage of the full program, but what you have here is great. The free program is well worth downloading. I do like the fact that I can take my Logos and go mobile more than with a laptop. Oh yes, and my textual notes come through, and I can write more, showing up in any version I use. That is a huge benefit over other programs. Get it! Highly recommended!.BibleProf2Version: 8.8.0

There when you areLiving in a time when time itself is sometimes hard to come by, it’s nice to have an app like Logos to turn to. Even if you only have a few minutes you can read something uplifting and encouraging from God’s word. A few minutes is better than nothing. I’m reading Systematic Theology. Ya...I know. Pretty deep. But, I taking it in small doses. With Logos I can read a little at a time and the app saves my place, so when I return I can pick up right where I left off. You really have the option to do whatever you want to do. You can either do a simple devotional and Bible study, or you can do an in depth study. This app has incredible resources cross-referencing ability at your fingertips. I would recommend it to anyone who enjoys studying God‘s word....Serving Together for His GloryVersion: 8.1.2

Logos, it is worth the Price!I purchased my first edition of Logos this year. At the start I did not like it, I even thought it was not user friendly. I would have not recommend this software due to the fact it was overwhelming. I contacted customer service with the idea of trying to get a refund, but instead I asked for help. Links were shared with me for training, and I decided I would give this Logos an honest try. It is now my go to bible study app for bible study. The mere information that can be found is incredibly easy to find. The more I use the program the more user friendly I see it to be. Each day I have grown to a deeper appreciation and love for it. My bible understanding and preaching has grown by finding this information. Please, if you partake in this program give it an honest shot, as it will change how you prepare to share God's Word. I started with the free edition and I am working my way up the ladder to the higher platforms. Today I am using Logos 10-Gold. Today I am a happy user! I would recommend this setup to anyone! They have packages for all budgets and payment plans to help get this in your hands..Tommy lickrVersion: 10.0.2

Logos is a great tool!As a Worship Pastor, lover of the Word, and just all around passionate disciple of Christ, I have so appreciated the in depth level of study I can get from the tools given me through Logos Bible software. I love the cross platform functionality it provides for me (iMac, iPad, iPhone, etc.), and the way I can access all of my library from multiple devices and apps (at times I honestly do not understand the benefit of this though? (e.g. Faithlife, Ebooks, etc.,)). The only real negative I have is how much time can be spent researching (not that the tool/app is slow, but the lack of restraint from the present author)! I am a researcher by nature, and this tool is a deep well of endless researching capabilities that if one is not careful will result in hours of time being spent on a single word from your Bible reading plan that day that you never really noticed before! And we’re off, Bible Word study opens, oh I never knew that is what that meant, and then dictionaries lead to more searches, searches lead to guides being opened, and on and on it goes! It is delightful, but one must learn to manage it well! Haha Thank you Logos team for a great resource!.MarkhostetlerVersion: 23.0.1

Great step in the right direction!I was glad to see the overall change in the layout of the app. The tab idea is genius and should make mobile bible study much more efficient. As other users have reiterated, more care to the note function would be nice as well as eventual inclusion of a sermon editing feature. I preach directly from my iPad, and upon occasion as I am prompted by the crowd, the Holy Spirit or something I forgot to include, it would be nice to on the spot edit my sermon content. Lastly, if personal books could ever be synced to my iPad that would make this app head and shoulders above any others of its kind. Also, scriptures within a sermon do not seem to hyperlink when accessed from a mobile device, only when viewed on a computer. Overall glad to see the update, keep up the good work!.IshbibenobVersion: 6.0.5

Great AppReally enjoy this app for Bible Study preparation and notes. There are seemingly endless resources that can be purchased and utilized in this app, though that can quickly become cost prohibitive. There are also many free resources available. I think the user interface could improve in terms of note taking capabilities. I have used Notability every day for the past 3 years, which has spoiled me a bit, and I have used OneNote on and off over that time, and comparatively, the note taking features are lacking, but still usable. I will say that there is definitely a learning curve when you first start using this app as everything is not overly intuitive. But overall, I am pleased with the app. I hope that it will continue to be improved on a regular basis..AceShot26Version: 9.5.1

Not a 5 star, but A 7 Stars!!Anyone who have used other bible software will know that this is the best and the most intuitive of all - the theme are actually thinking like you, whether you are a pastor, researcher, student or faculty, there is something tailored for you. Keep doing the great work. If there is 2 more stars I will give you 7 stars..JamesaknVersion: 5.17.1

Best App For Bible StudyThis is a great free tool (there are things you can purchase within the app) right off the bat. This is the only app I’ll use studying for. Reading versions, however, I use another app for because the versions are free (YouVersion app) rather than to purchase extra. 5 stars for a great study Bible!.Tenshi7Version: 6.0.1

My Daily Companion.My life is enriched by using this app and acquired resources daily. It’s layout and menus make it very easy to use. Each update brings more rich features and simplicity. I use two apple devices and all my highlights are visible on both so I know exactly where I left off the previous day. Access to dictionaries are also a bonus - so there is no need to have multiple apps open while studying. With so many features at my fingertips (literally) I’m contented and settled with Logos Bible. Hopefully the developers can read my comments because there are some textual references that need correcting. Hopefully these is a way to send these corrections as I encounter them.

Worth perseveranceI have been using logos forever and it is for sure a heavy hitter in the Bible software category. There is however a learning curve that I have to admit has kept me in the minor leagues. Could I up my game? Yes indeed but I succumb to the path of least resistance often and just google it. Maybe I should re-google logos for newbies and get out of the shallow end of the pool. I am really enjoying the mobile version on my phone and I think it’s because it seems like a slightly more simple environment..Island revivalVersion: 23.0.0

Logos: Deep Bible Study Negative Reviews

Difficult to useI started out with this software when it was Thompson Chain Bible Study for computer in 1998. It’s been sold and renamed many times over the years. When it was Wordsearch it was the easiest to use and then technology moved to tablets. When I went to iPad instead of computer wordsearch wouldn’t transfer my books to the app and said I would have to buy my books again so I went to Olive Tree app. When I got the notice that another company have bought wordsearch and my books would finally transfer I use it as read only because I had so many notes in Olive Tree. Now logos has the app. I’m sorry buy I find it very difficult to use his app. I want to like it but I don’t see it happening. It highlights when I don’t want it, simply by trying to move down the page to read. I can’t delete the highlight. The help in totally useless. It wasn’t bad until the last 2 update. I find it very irritating because over the years I have invested thousands of dollars in books that can only be used in the app, I have over 5,000. I admit many I don’t use anymore, the commentaries are the ones I use the most. Please make logos more user friendly or restore wordsearch..MawtooVersion: 23.0.2

Good but...a few tweaksI have evolved in my use of logos so my experience has touched all platforms, desktop, iPads, and now iPhone. Now iPhone has been my go to platform for its mobility, it slips into my pocket right? The others can’t do that. I talk to a lot of people one on one about the gospel and theological issues. This app gives me freedom to do that without leaving notes behind. At any moment I can be talking to someone and have all resources at my thumbs. So where is the rub so to say? Imagine this; you could still Ike up a conversation with a stranger on the street. I always assume I have only minutes to give the gospel into their hands. Most of the time I don’t need logos but when I do I need turbo performance. I pull my phone out get up logos find reference, easy enough right? The next move is a cap shoot, when I need the drop down options to pop out at the top and bottom of the phone. They as mad to hide, which is good. I swipe up, nothing, I swipe down, nothing, left right tap tap tap, what the heck is the problem. Then later when the conversation is over, there it is like a mole. Can you spell FRUSTRATION... three stars for now. Too I hav a major frustration with the desktop app. I have to call in for that. Can’t type that fast..Jael's Tent PegVersion: 8.7.1

Great content but iPad app lacks usabilityI usually use the desktop app. It would be convenient to be able to use the iPad app, but there are too many shortcomings for me. No stacked tabs, so I have to swipe, but I have multiple panes on a single tab and what I want is often on a different tab that is out of view. Writing notes, circling text, highlighting, etc could be so much easier if I could just choose a pen. One major drawback of any platform, there is no easy way to go to the next/prev annotation in a resource. I have to open the notes and filter on resource. But then the notes are in chronological order, not page order, and highlights and underlines don't show the text being annotated. It's even more tedious on the pad, where I have to click on so many things to do things that other apps do naturally with the pencil. I'll be trying to scroll through the list of annotations, and end up drawing, or swiping to another tab. I just want to go to the next note/annotation and it seems like the app just fights me..TimTimpaniVersion: 31.0.1

Needs So Much WorkThis app needs much work. There’s no apparent way to edit tags made in notes. For instance, I want to delete a tag completely from my tags list and there’s no way to do that. I want to edit a tag and there’s no way to do that. I have to restart the app several times as the select feature stops working and will only work again once I restart the app. Every time I want to search on a word or perform another task in another resource, even though an instance of that resource is already open, it opens another instance of that same resource making it so that I have multiples of the same resource open. I’m guessing some folks might like that however a choice would be most helpful. What I find with the scrolling feature when 2 books are synced to scroll together, they don’t scroll to the exact same verse. Notes filter doesn’t work well if I want to work with 2 or 3 different notebooks at the same time. Also while working with notes, whenever I move to another resource and come back to my open bible/notes, my place in my notes has to be located again and it appears that some of my notes are missing (though by clicking on the note name, I discover that they hadn’t gone anywhere—just temporarily appear to be missing.) At least one open resource doesn’t allow to get back to any other open resource without restarting the app. This wonky app makes bible study time-consuming with no easy flow..Thinker,08Version: 9.7.1

Good but I have lost with every update.I bought the software many years ago for $500 plus. The reason I purchased it was because of all the resources. With every update I lost books and even purchased books. I can now buy books I used to have with my original purchase! Totally ridiculous. At least I got to keep the ones that are public domain. I am incredibly unhappy. Those of you who purchased the “newer” version at least you do get to upgrade to the newer functionality. I was told I get to buy a whole new version to get this particular advance. I have had the software for 20 years. I get it its old but those of us who helped in the beginning shouldn’t have to pay for an entirely new software. As I said before I lost a lot of resources because of all these wonderful upgrades and updates. As they say: ”We’re a tech company committed to the Church.” That is true. As long as one can afford it..BromoahVersion: 8.12.5

Great content, but very underwhelming user experienceI have been a logos user for about 4 years now. Primarily my time is spent on the desktop version. I have invested more in this software than any other type of software. I have no complaints about the desktop version, but the app just continues to disappoint. I keep expecting it to improve, at least to the standard of an average free Bible app, but it has not reached that level in my opinion. I have countless quality resources on here, but it is so glitchy that I rarely do anything more than read on it. Sermon writing is very difficult on my iPad Pro, and I always end up finishing it on desktop. I love Faithlife and all the products they have released to help us grow in our understanding of the Word, and I only include these comments in hope that it will be improved soon so that we can benefit from the accessibility of mobile versions..EmregierVersion: 25.0.2
