It is a superb program. Preparing sermons is just so much easier. The feature I like best is that everything is integrated.

Logos
I find things here.
Especially when I look for them
2020-06-01
Excellent resource
I have only just discovered this resource and have already found it to be a really helpful treasury of Biblical Studies.

iPhone audio nonexistent
Good to have audio available for iPhone 7

App keeps crashing
Why does this app keep crashing and hanging? When it doesn’t crash and hang this app is an amazing study guide for the Bible and has amazing devotions.
2020-01-17
Great for personal devotion
I use this app for my devotional times. Helps me to get a deeper understanding of God's word
2020-01-06
Great advanced features
I really like the tabs in this app, it means I can start reading something new or look up a word without losing my place. Perhaps it would be nice to be able to label them.
There’s a few important things that mean I won’t be using this app however;
When I select a single word the app freezes while it tries to look up a dictionary definition. Most of the time, that’s not even what I’m trying to do. This lasts up to 30 seconds.
I also can’t select a group of words, to share with friends, single word selection is all that’s available.
Search is a bit slow; I looked up the word ‘condemn’, in the esv Bible, search took around 25 seconds. The results were decent however.
There seems to be no Greek/Hebrew concordance, i like to be able to see all occurrences of a word so I can understand it better.

Is an amazing app!
So many great features.
Seems to have a few minor bugs, but that may partly be my phone..
2019-07-31
Functionality hit&miss
I am a long term user & have always been generally happy. But... sometimes simple functionality suffers. Since last update, daily readings no longer functions correctly on iPad, but does on iPhone.
Often searching resources (even downloaded resources is snail pace).
I saw someone else’s review urging a (Bullet proof) app before chasing added bells & whistles. I couldn’t agree more.
God bless

Good but not yet great
Logos mobile is my go-to bible and biblical resource app. I use mobile and laptop versions multiple times a day. I love that I have many resources available on one app and these are all tied together across devices - although there are other providers that do this (and perhaps do that core business better). I like that most resources in print are available as a logos linked resource.
But some core use suffers. Even when resources are downloaded to the app, when offline, most are not useable - very frustrating! A simple bible search is cumbersome (open new tab, choose type of search and resource, why not just have a search window in the resource you are using??). My iPad version suffers from many bugs which I have reported and they persist. Some I reported over 6 months ago - providing video as well. These are not small bugs — content not showing or loading, wrong content showing, big issues.
Logos mobile threatens to be masterful but needs to pay attention to core use issues. I am tied to using it because of the number of resources I have. I hope they focus on making the app bullet proof, reliable, and very useable, rather than adding any more ‘features’

Very happy due to the fact that you have everything at your disposal

Haven’t used bible software that is better.

Commentary and word study smorgasbord
I Pastor a Church in country Australia. Our library has very limited theological resources. With
Logos I have access to a large library which keeps widely read and informed so that my content creation for teaching and preaching is well informed. Exegesis is easy with access to tools I never would have been able to use which gives me confidence when I stand in the pulpit and guide people with concise and researched interpretation.
2019-01-31
Notes option not so friendly
Everything is fantastic except “Notes” function. Not easy to reference, cannot put in your own note writings and then reference backwards to the verse.
Separate comment - different pages stay open and cannot close them- confusing as to which one I was at.
2018-11-14
New font hard to read
Great App for Bible study and personal devotions. The best around. However the new font is very hard to read compared to the previous one. How about giving us the option to go back to the previous font?

A ‘Could-a-been Great’ App
I have been a user of Logos for years now. As a pastor, it has been my #1 app/software for serious Bible study and ministry preparation. It’s depth of resources and functionality has been unparalleled.
That said, there has been one area that has consistently let the app down - the notes section. Other apps provide a descent hierarchical structure for filing notes. E.g. I could have a notebook/folder on Psalms, under that a series of folders, one for each Psalm, and inside each folder all my notes for each verse or paragraph. I cannot do this with Logos and that’s a serious flaw.
I had big hopes this would be radically improved in the latest Logos 8 update but sadly, no. To make things worse, I’ve discovered some of the reference links to my previous notes have been broken and now lead back to the wrong Scripture reference.
“Not Happy Jan.”
Come on guys. If you really want to be the go-to app for Pastors, you need to seriously overhaul the functionality of your notes section. Version 8 was nothing more than a pretty dress-up.

FANTASTIC
Logos App is amazing. So easy to use, search, and carry around an entire library wherever I go in all my devices. Currently I’m awestruck by what it enables me to do on my iPad. Logos support is also great.
2018-08-13
Best bible app
If you have paid for logos software, this is best bible app ever. With all resources available at your finger tips and the logos tools available when using this app, this is the premium app for bible study.
2018-07-28
Inspiring
Very easy to use, extremely informative, with lots of excellent options. Cannot understand why it took so long to find this invaluable resource.

LOGOS
I have had and used Logos for over 25 years, I use it for studying the Bible, and reading the morning and evening devotional, if I want to check a word, or a phrase, I can look up the concordances to quickly find the correct word or phases. The programme is the quickest and most accurate Bible programme that I have found during the time I have been using computer programmes to broaden my knowledge, I happily can recommend this programme to every person needing scholarly assistance, and any person wanting to expand their knowledge of their beliefs or trying to answer a workmate who has no, or limited, knowledge who asks a tricky question.
2018-05-05
Brilliant Bible app
Wonderful app to study God’s Word, plan & keep up with Bible readings, and read reference works.
2018-04-14
Long time user ... long time frustrations
Logos appears to be in a field where there is not much to compare with them, and the lack of competition shows. Features keep getting added such that users get easily lost.
Many features don’t follow simple, accepted ways of interacting with users. E.g. Logos is only just coming to grips with scrolling vertically through a document - rather than paging sideways.
I think Logos have such a massive legacy of poorly implemented features that they probably cannot recover easily. Perhaps they should spend the massive upgrade fees on fixing what they have, rather than adding more features.
Despite all that Logos is still my favourite Bible tool.
2018-04-09
Amazing resource
I have used Logos for many, many years. It is my best (and now only) go-to resource for my personal spiritual enrichment, message preparation and Bible teaching resource. I keep finding new treasures.
2018-02-04
Really excellent app
This is a great app. I use it all the time on my iPhone Marking out my highlights and markings on scriptures get synced to my iPad! Makes studying so much easier. Love it!
After the new update its even heaps better now!
2018-02-03
Update good but needs fixes
I use the logos iPhone app a lot. The new tabs are great, love them!
But the latest update has for some reason obscured the OS clock at the top of screen (very inconvenient not to be able to see the time while in-app) and removed the in-app screen-lock functionality. Please fix the clock and bring back the screen lock, it’s very helpful to be able to lock logos for reading while leaving my other apps unlocked for videos etc.
Thanks!
2018-01-12
very useful product
Have been using this for years but have been particularly impressed with the new windowing approach introduced in 2017.
It is now much easier to read sequentially through a text. It is also very good being able to have multiple windows active with different resources, each easily accessible.
Great app.
2018-01-01
Great content
I really love how logos brings together a tone of resources in one place.
This has made my bible study times a lot more richer.
2017-12-29
Bible Study
This is an excellent program. I would say this is the best out there for an app on bible study. Only thing is that it needs to be able to look at the words that the bible was translate from the Greek Hebrew and Araramic.
2017-12-14
Hope and disappointment
Logos has always had a habit of adding new features yet refusing to fix old issues.
Sure we’ve now got tabbed browsing. But the way Logos sorts books remains terrible. Sure I can upload my church’s bulletin but attempting a local word search remains difficult - why is the Apocrypha listed higher than the NT in filtering results? It’s great I can link panels but there’s still only a back button. How hard would it be to also add a forward button?
And why oh why does search now bring up an entirely new panel? The shrink/zoom animation for such a simple task is frustrating. And if you think tabbed browsing would be similar to a web browser you’d be wrong. More shrink/zoom panel effects.
This is not a new thing. Logos has always been this way. Their never ending quest to add features yet neglect current ones is unsurprising.
Each Logos update brings hope and disappointment in equal measure.
2017-11-29
Logos setup
Had logos at one stage but could never do updates so I thought maybe it would be better to delete it and start over again ... WRONG. Tried umpteen times to install logos onto my windows based laptop .... even followed all the blog material on the internet .... all without any luck at all. Absolutely useless and the phone app is not the same. So frustrated so am concentrating on building the Wordsearch Bible program
2017-10-18
Logos
Great resources and so much for free.
2017-09-27
Un comparable
This app logos is on a league of its own it syncs all my Greek and hebrew to all my devices at once and make the work load so much easier
2017-08-20
Easy access however only online
It would be nice to be able to download a bible version to read it when offline
2017-08-16
Great Application
I have the Logos Bible software and the integration between the two them is fantastic. The app itself is very stable and what can I say I get to read all of my notes and documents from my main package. Very happy so far keep doing what you are doing.

The Logos gave me a great start every day for my daily reading I felt the presence of God with me, in my talk, work, driving,prayer and study thankfully for the library books from Logos Bible, continue the good works, God richly bless you,
2017-05-04
Good App & very portable
It is good when I travel and a good thing to have as a tool to teach my son how to read and grapple God's Word for when he is out on his own or if something were to happen to me! Searches could be organised better. Annoying how the downloaded books will not display properly when offline.
2017-04-24
Excellent!
I use this app for the Bible alone but certainly have a lot of other resources available should I need them. Easy to use and user friendly. While doing my daily reading or Bible study, I love having the ability to check out references then be so easily able to come back to what I was reading through.
2017-04-23
Best of the Best
Best Bible study App ever !!
2017-04-20
The Best
Without doubt, the Logos software is the best ministry tool available in retail circles today. Get it, and save yourself much time in the process of building sermons, preparing studies and enhance your personal devotions.

Excellent App. User friendly and easy to use. Recommend this app to all. I use it every day.

One of the best apps in the AppStore
Ease of use and functionality is the hallmark of this app. Get it for the bible alone. There are tons of resources to be discovered.
2017-04-02
Thank God for this App
This is my main Bible study tool. Thank God for Logos.
