Please vote for Desktop About add Upgradeable & 2 dates
Please add to Desktop app About information:
* Upgradeable: Yes OR show reason cannot upgrade: e.g. macOS version.
* App release date
* Installation date
Desktop app already has upgrade checking (prevent newer software application from corrupting an existing installation that cannot be upgraded).
Update Channel includes desktop app release date.
When desktop app is installed, database schema is updated.

Good suggestion.
The About is a marketing disaster. It's a routine About. But given the Logos/Verbum business model (bits and pieces of app functionality, plus books), there's no easy way to determine what bits and pieces of the app you 'own' ... or don't.
They've always shown owned books. And a few years back they built a path to useful unowned books (good). But features remain a mystery.
This week, a 'user' wanted to search for a type of question. The Logosians offered various tips. Then the FL guy asked, why not the question feature, if you have it? Did I have it? Who knows? Sure, search copyrights! Sure, dig thru Logos.com feature lists! Or shrug, and read the next thread.
The About panel should include not just the base app info, but what add-on features are included. Maybe those available to add? My ios apps do it routinely ... it's the door to more revenue.

I found the reason I could NOT upgrade past Logos 5 (at the time, I think, or maybe Logos 4) was that Windows Vista or the hardware were not adequate. When I got a new Windows computer in December 2016, I have had no issues with upgrading to Logos 10. This computer is not capable to upgrade to windows 11, but I have no need for "additional features". So Faithlife, please do not require Windows 11 for a release.
I like the concept of Upgradeable:Yes or reason, but since there are so many variables: Windows/Mac, desktop/tablet/phone, iOS/Android, a link to Requirements for this version might be more helpful.
Perhaps add a webpage "History of Logos Versions" and on that include what the minimum hardware and software were for each version.
The App Release Date and Installation Date suggestions are quite good, and it would seem to be something from a technical program point that could be added without a lot of resources required.

Logos Wiki includes:
- Logos Release History (with comments when desktop operating system required/supported/changed)
- Logos Downloads Archive (last Stable release for various desktop operating systems)
- Unsupported Obsolete Applications (desktop app no longer supported as of)

Faithlife requires Windows operating system be supported by Microsoft that has 14 Oct 2025 End of Life for Windows 10. Humanly not know if Microsoft will extend Windows 10 End of Life date. At this point prudent to plan Windows 11 migration by 14 Oct 2025.
