Logos 2025 features feedback
Here is feedback on the new developments in Logos. AI smart searches are definitely a huge and exciting improvement. To me this is the major and best development.

Where do I report/question a formatting issue in a book?
I just purchased this on sale, and it seems to have different font sizes and spacing, per the screenshot. I can't tell if this is a scanning error, as it's a relatively new resource, or if it (badly) reflects something in the original paper version. You can see larger font with more space between lines at the time, then…

Drag and Drop of a scripture reference from a Bible Version or from a passages list into Notes
I really like the fact that I can drag and drop scripture references from Bible foot notes and commentaries into the Passages list. I would also like to be able to drag Bible verses into my Notes.

Why not combine Sermon Builder and Workflows?
I know, I know, I'm dreaming again… but… Instead of creating more "features" that produce more and different files like Passage Lists, Sermon Builder, Bible Study Builder, Workflows, etc… How about adding "slides" and a bit of formatting to Workflows and getting rid of Sermon Builder? It seems with all these "features"…

Logos Mailing for a Secret Offer Just for Me
OK, first, it came in the mail ('secret offer' emblazoned on the mailer). So , I don't think I'm violating the top-secret rules for the Logosian Secret Service. And this will not be positive.

How do reading plans determine pages per day?
Created a reading plan to finish a book this week as seen below. Why are the number of pages so different from day to day? Monday is 29 pages while Friday is 49 pages!

Preachers, would this help with your sermon planning process?
We're considering adding a feature to Sermon Manager that would help preachers with their sermon planning by analyzing what topics or Bible passages they've previously preached on.

Searching for words in both Hebrew OT and English translation. Can it be done?
I'm searching the LHI with the following string: lemma.h:שׁלח BEFORE ( lemma.h:לְ.1@N OR lemma.h:לְ.1@R ) I want to use the LHI because if I search an English translation, say, the ESV, the results are often much more limited because the Hebrew is rearranged to match the english. However, I also want to find instances…

Version 37.2.012 runs slowly
As happens periodically with new version releases, version 37.2.012 runs slowly on Windows 11. I reverted back to version 37.1.006, which runs without issue (other than the bugs that have been there for years). I'll probably just stick with this version going forward to avoid dealing with these slowdowns in the future.

Combining view and format menus
In the desktop app…Is it necessary to separate the options under each into 2 menus? For example, when wanting to just read the Bible, it would be nice to go to one menu and remove things like the interlinear and reformat options, or it would be nice to just briefly clean the slate, read, then put the formats back in place.
