Remove Lexham English Bible from mobile App

I do not understand why FaithLife or Logos chose to imbed the Lexham English Bible into the mobile App, but I personally find it very annoying ! I manually remove every time I start the App. I did not down load it and I not want it in my library ! This is very close to Proselytizing on the part of FaithLife/Logos, in I opinion. There are many Bible translations/versions available for down load. Please keep your hands off MY Library !

That's one reason I use Noet. I got tired of their forced resource downloads. I can handle a forced ancient book by somebody I can't remember.

There are a number of features which require a bible with reverse interlinear installed. FL has chosen to use their own translation for a number of reasons.

I disagree with that business model. That decision should be left to the subcriber/end-user. Why should I be inconvienced to remove a Bible resource I do not want, from MY library, every time start the App ? It should be Offered to people, and let them decide if they want the particular Bible resource or not. What I choose to store in library, for my digital Scriptural studies, is not up to FS ! The fact that FS would chose to use their own translation, reinforces my resolve not be appogetic for using the term "Proselytizing".

Unless this has changed at some point, we have been told that to function correctly, a bible needs to be installed. It is integrated into the app itself. For many reasons, including financial, they have chosen to use their own translation.

If you prefer not to have it downloaded, you could always do what Denise suggests and use NOET instead for a pure library app.

Dose not the App already come with the KJV installed ? I use the ESV/LSB, with the NIV (older version) for cross reference. I get greatly incensed when I feel corporations/groups are craming their Theology down-my-throat, in the name of "better business, or community harmony".

My impression is that horse left the barn, with Logos4. I use 3 other commercial Bible software platforms, and don't see that same blase' approach in them (they're considerably more respectful to religious sensitivities). I'm an advocate of denomination-specific editions (in Logos) even though I don't share denominational beliefs. Which by and large eliminates the forced royalty-free Faithlife stuff.
