Preferred Bible version

Traci Pennypacker

I just installed the free version of Logos and the only Bible it is allowing to access is the NIV.  I really want the ESV (I have all sorts of highlights in my mobile app ESV). I have searched help and all it tells me is to go to the home icon and there will be a place near the top of the screen to set preferred Bible...there is no such place at the top of the screen.

For this to appear on your homescreen it needs to be enabled from the settings (gear) icon at the top right of the home page

However for a Bible to be chosen as your preferred Bible you need to own it and the ESV is chargeable when used within the desktop app

And the NIV is also chargeable so I'm intrigued that you are seeing it after installing the free desktop engine

Do you actually own the ESV, or were you using the free copy that came with the mobile app?

I purchased the NIV previously and have been using ESV on the mobile app.

You will need to purchase the ESV. The mobile app comes with some "free to use while online" resources, which you don't actually own a license for.

That explains it, thanks

The ESV is available free to use when online in the mobile app but needs to be purchased for the desktop application
