Whether in the form of Logos base packages or Accordance collections, these monies eventually go to the publishers and authors who originally produced print resources that were later converted to digital. Let the reader understand: the laborer deserves his wages. A purchase of the Accordance “All-in-All” collection is currently priced at $39,999.00. It’s no secret that Bible software can get expensive very quickly, and this is nothing unique to Logos. In some cases, that defeats the point of paying a higher price for the Logos version versus a standard eBook.įaithlife (Logos’ parent company) claims that Logos 8 is faster than 7, but I’ve yet to test that out myself, as I’m willing neither to pay for the upgrade nor to unethically exploit the secret URL that allows a non-paying user to download the Logos 8 engine for free. On the mobile side, I always found Logos’ apps to be almost completely unusable unless one is reading a book straight through. The occasional need to index the Logos library can also be debilitating upon the system and makes one jokingly wonder if it’s mining bitcoins. Although speed improvements have been made to the Logos engine on Mac at least up to my current installation of Logos 7, the reality remains that Logos is significantly slower and less stable on my system than Accordance. The good news that we learned was that we were expecting our first child! The bad news was that Logos was still slow on this brand new, ultra-fast system. We had good news and bad news around that time. I purchased my current MacBook Pro, a late-2013 15″ Retina version, on Black Friday 2013 while vacationing with my wife in O’ahu. I never heard a foul word about them.Īs Logos progresses into future versions, I can’t see myself investing any money in future upgrades. Having been out of the loop at the wrong time, I sadly missed the opportunity to pick up BibleWorks before its company ceased operations. I continue to have both, and I’ve added to each library where appropriate or necessary, but I’ve never updated the Logos “feature set,” a term which refers to many of the functional aspects of the software such as Bible Sense Lexicon, Factbook, and Timeline. Sometime thereafter, DTS announced that all students would be receiving a DTS-customized, Logos “Silver” equivalent package for free. After some weighing of options, I chose Accordance over Logos. My history with Bible software started as I was beginning my studies at Dallas Seminary online while still on active duty and living in Japan. I was also surprised recently how there were still some recent kind comments on videos including some questions on when I was going to get off my laurels and do some more videos. My video on how to try Logos Bible Software for free received over 2,400 views, which is a large number at least for me. Sure, there are far fewer people doing work in advanced Bible software than repairing cars, but I thought this would be helpful. Just as many auto mechanics were successful with channels about repairing cars, I thought I’d do one with my own little niche. I am saying that because the app is 75MB of size before downloading modules.Some time ago, I started a YouTube channel called Bible Software Guy. If I am to talk of the downside of the app, I would only mention of file size being big on android. It is a very quick and convenient way of learning any new subject or area of spiritual life you desire to grow. + Has a dictionary that offers instant definitions as you read through the Bible. You can also use the recent and favorites sections which the application automatically saves for you as you read the Bible You can choose to check a Bible verse by quickly picking it from the grid view, or by typing the passage on a field above the grid, or by scrolling a freely flowing table of contents. +When you want to go to specific text of the Bible, it gives an easy and flexible menu for locating the desired verse. The menu itself was professionally categorized for easy direction to any user. + What love about the app is that It has more Bible Study Tools than one would demand. Comments: I truly love this Bible App for what it offers and the style it uses.
