Logos Bible App and the Faithlife Ebook app what are the differences?
I found the Faithlife Ebook app and downloaded it thinking it was a new or newer app. However, I can’t really see the difference between the 2 except The Logos Bible App seemed to have all my resources. What is the point of 2 separate apps that do basically the same thing? Which one is the definitive app?

Which one is the definitive app?
There is no "definitive" app. Faithlife has many different apps aimed at different audiences. The Faithlife eBook app is geared towards a more general "Christian Book Store" audience, rather than those pursuing academic / Bible studies.
The Logos Bible App seemed to have all my resources.
There is a switch to turn on all resources. However, I would gather that the best app for you would be the Logos Bible App.

Thanks I just wonder if 2 apps that literally look and perform the same functions are needed. A simple renam and re market would do the same. so anyone with simple needs send to the ebook app and apecific.

One possible reason for having the 2 apps on your device(s) is to use the Ebooks app for just general reading and to use the Bible app for study. This will keep the apps cleaner and minimize the number of open tabs.

Erwin is correct. Beside Noet folks not wanting crosses all over the place, multiple versions allow several study environments. I think I use 3 Logos apps daily-ish. I also do the same with 3 Paperwhite versions.

And in the days before multiple tabs I found it super handy to do my main study in Verbum and have Logos set up as a quick start start bible layout. I still do this as old habits die hard. And the vyrso app for whatever book I was currently reading. The vyrso or now renamed ’Faithlife eBooks’ still remains a handy reader for books I am reading in many respects far ahead of kindle for reading.

Just jumping in here but thanks for the "heads up" regarding the switch to show all resources in the e-book app. I can now show all my resources, find what books I'm looking for, download them and then switch back to only showing e-book purchases and downloads. Super awesome! Thanks again :-)

Old topic, I know.
The think I am trying to figure out: Are there any real differences between the Faithlife Study Bible app and the Faithlife Ebooks app?
I know the difference between the Logos App and the two named above. And I know the difference between a Faithlife ebook and a Logos book.
But what differences are there between the apps themselves? I have a copy of each, in addition to the Logos app. I can't see any differences between the other two though. Are there any and if so, what are they?iMac (2019 model), 3Ghz 6 Core Intel i5, 16gb Ram, Radeon Pro Graphics. 500GB SSD.

Actually I don't know firsthand, since I use only the Logos app on mobile devices. From what I read recently, the FSB app may have some interactive features like following threads on faithlife.com with push messages. It may also be the only one supporting Community Notes (this from memory some time back, I may be wrong here).
Note that Faithlife will discontinue development on some less used mobile apps in June, which does include the FSB app, and probably also - but not fully sure about that - the Eboook app.
Have joy in the Lord!
