5.0 out of 5 stars THE BIBLE STUDY APP -- ESPECIALLY GREAT WITH LOGOS DESKTOP November 26, 2011

By JJ VINE™ VOICE

Amazon Verified Purchase

There are some wonderful Bible Apps out there. YouVersion, Tecarta, OliveTree, BibleIs, etc, etc. But Logos stands alone for Bible Study ability. Why? The ability to access a library of resources and the ability to do searches and other studies make this the App it is. Many needed features are in the works currently (such as note taking, marking, etc, etc).

The most unique feature of Logos for Android is the ability to access the Logos Cloud of purchased (and some free) resources and books that you can also access on your desktop. If you already have a Logos or Libronix library, you will be able to access those resources on your Android device (unless there is a restriction by the publisher). Note: if you don't want to do Bible Study, but merely read Christian books, then Logos has another app called Vyrso, which has an even simpler interface and allows you to download ebooks in Logos's library (very much like the Logos for Android app here, but without the bells and whistles).

Good news, as of November 24, this app works well with the new Kindle Fire.

If all you want is to access the Bible on your device and read passages, then the Logos App is probably not your go-to app. If you want to do Bible Study and read a library of resources on the go, then Logos for Android is your MUST HAVE app.

4.0 out of 5 stars A lot to like, a little room to improve December 4, 2011

By Corporeal Being

I have been using the full PC version of Logos for a few years now, and enjoy it quite a bit. I have used it almost daily since I purchased it. For my money, there's no better PC software package out there for a theology geek ;-) So that's one of the reasons why I was excited to install the Logos software on my android so I could take my extensive Logos library and functionality with me on a mobile device. However, there are a couple of things that I think could be improved. First, I would like to be able to at least change the default Bible version to one that I actually use. In fact, rather than having it take up space on my device/SD card, rather than just change it, I'd prefer to be able to remove the version that is bundled with the software altogether, since I don't use that version. If it is possible to change the default version and/or if it is possible to delete the bundled Bible version, then this changing/deleting process is not intuitive because I have not been able to figure out how to do it. If someone knows how to do either of these things, please leave a comment. Also, I would like to have the text-to-speech option available like what my Logos 4 PC version provides, as I would like to be able to listen to the Bible or one of the books in my library from time to time on my mobile device. If these issues are addressed, I will gladly increase my rating from 4 stars to 5.

5.0 out of 5 stars The Best Choice for a Bible Study App November 3, 2011

By Phil

I'm excited to have access to the thousands of titles in my Logos library on my Android phone (HTC Evo) and Android tablet (ASUS Eee Pad Transformer). The Android app is a bit behind the iOS app, but it's incredibly useful in its current state. The reading experience is excellent. The typography is superb and makes reading a pleasure. I'm looking forward to the fully featured version with annotating and highlighting and some tablet-specific UI and functionality as well. Integration with Logos for Windows, Mac, iOS, and Biblia.com makes Logos the best choice for a Bible study app. Oh, and it comes with 60+ free books, too.

(Full disclosure: I work at Logos, but I also love and use our products. In fact, I love them so much that I decided to work for the company that makes them.)
