Logos: Deep Bible Study

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.

I 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.

I 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.
