Logos web VS cloud VS app VS desktop VS ebook, etc???

Carrie Kargel

I'm confused about all the different avenues for accessing Logos products.

Currently, I am using (1) Logos 7 on my laptop when at home, (2) a Logos iPhone app when away from home, and (3) signing into a free Logos website to access information when using someone else's computer.

Questions:
What is the difference between Logos Cloud and the web app?
How does the Ebook Reader differ from features available in Logos?
How does Noet differ from features available in Logos?

You’re not the only one who is confused, so don’t worry!

Logos Cloud was the branding used for renting (rather than buying) Logos. It’s almost been retired now.

The eBook reader is a simplified mobile app that’s designed primarily for people who don’t need features like the Bible Word Study and Passage Guide, but just want to be able to read Christian books. 

Noet is branding for both mobile and desktop. It’s targeted at those studying Greek/Hebrew classics, or Judaism. It’s largely the same as standard Logos, although some of the terminology is slightly different (the Bible Word Study is just called Word Study, for example). But underneath the hood, it’s Logos software in a different skin. If you own Logos and sign into Noet, you’ll notice very few differences. However, if you don’t own Logos, but have bought a Noet package, you’ll find that lots of the Bible-specific tools and features are missing.

The way you’re accessing Logos products at the moment sounds ideal. That’s exactly how I use it.
