Mobile apps - Logos and Verbum - combining libraries?

I am new to Logos and now have two apps on my iPhone and iPad - Logos and Verbum. I’ve added to both libraries and certain books that I’ve ordered show up in both libraries, but many (particularly Catholic resources) only show up in Verbum. Is there a way to combine or sync the libraries so that I use just one of the apps? Or are there any other solutions possible?

Thank you!

HI Carolyn

Welcome to Logos and to the forums

but many (particularly Catholic resources) only show up in Verbum.

This sounds strange as they should appear in both - assuming you are using the same login credentials on both.

Can you provide some specific examples of resources you see in the Verbum app but not in the Logos app?

I maybe wrong but I think that there are a number of Catholic resources that come free with Verbum.

My library numbers on Verbum app are xx12 and Logos app xx21. [but when I check local: I only have about 10 downloaded for each]

On a Logos install on my PC I see xx65. When set to Verbum I see the same number. Need to check the Verbum install on my other PC - [[someday]]

Hi David and Graham,

Thank you both for your messages! You may have answered my question. I just checked my order history for example, and I purchased the Catholic Study Bible which does indeed appear in both libraries for both apps. But maybe as David indicated, I have 15 other resources in my Verbum library that perhaps were free with the app, and three of those appear in both my Logos and Verbum library: Douay-Rheims Bible, The Imitation of Christ, and the Revised Common Lectionary.

The others that are in my Verbum library but not in my Logos library are:

The Revised Standard Version, Catholic Edition
The Catechism of the Council of Trent
Catholic Daily Readings
A Catholic Dictionary
Catholic Pocket Dictionary and Cyclopedia
The Divine Armory of Holy Scripture
An Essay on the Development of Christian Doctrine
The Externals of the Catholic Church
Haydock's Catholic Bible Commentary
The Practice of the Presence of God
The Roman Martyrology
The Sources of Catholic Dogma

I also purchased the Logos 8 Fundamentals, but I can't quite figure out if they are in my Verbum library since I'm not sure what the list of books are. In terms of total numbers my Logos library has 206 items; whereas my Verbum library has 173 items.

I'm wondering if there is any way for me to use just one of the apps or if I should get used to just using both? It would certainly make my study a bit more streamlined if I could use one app. I also wonder whether this might be solved if I just purchased the items listed above that appear in Verbum since I do see them all listed on the Logos.com website - although they don't appear in the Logos app for purchase. This might enable me to use just one app for my daily studies...?

Thank you for any additional help or guidance!

These are indeed books that are available free to anyone using the Verbum mobile app, but which must be purchased in order to be used in other apps or the the desktop versions of Verbum and Logos. The resources available in the other mobile app but not in the Verbum app are the ones that it allows free access to. If you want to use both collections in the same app, you'll have to buy the resources that one of the apps lacks and then use the other.
