  • Yes please! Logos Mobile App has become very useful, but this is missing!

    Yes yes yes!
  • Please add the PB Bible to the Mobile app 🙏🏽
  • For some of us to have a Bible in our language (for example Polish) is to do our own PBB compilation. To have it on the mobile platforms would be a dream fulfilled. Some of us are waiting for that for years. Please...

  • Yes, or at least make the Berean Study Bible available for purchase. At the moment I have had to import it into a personal book, which I can not access at all on my phone or tablet in Logos. This is my primary translation is the workflow is very cumbersome.

    I load a lot of personal book, usually older theological books in the public domain. I also load each month's Table Talk magazine as I receive a digital copy of it. Not having these resources available in the app prevents me using these resources when preparing documents from the app. It also prevents me from using a table to read them which is much easier than reading on my laptop. I can, of course, load them onto my Kindle but would prefer to have them all in one place with my other theological resources.

    If Faithlife management would consider this, it would be a great help to most of us. If it's a concern over people not buying books, then make a version of the mobile app that would be a one time cost extra. I'll bet you'd be surprised how many people you would get that would gladly pay the extra to have the ability to use there personal books in app. 


    I know it would be of great benefit to me!!!.

    This would be incredibly helpful for those of us who work in minority languages.  Thank you!!!
  • Having personal books available to those who can't afford the Gold feature of Logos would be incredibly helpful.

    @Austin Moore  I suspect that may be the main point of this restriction. By not supporting personal books Logos forces you to buy public domain resources at their shop.

    This is the primary feature that keeps most from migrating to a mobile tablet such as an iPad. Definitely work adding to the mobile app.

    I agree! This would help a lot with seminary assignments to read Word doc materials (e.g. course notes, handouts, articles) that I would prefer to have in Logos so that my highlighting is retained and obviously for the benefit of searching in the future. It feels a little unintuitive to have a personal "books" feature that isn't available on the primary devices for reading books. I do writing and research on desktop, but I use my iPad for almost all of my book reading.

    I would also like to have this feature on mobile so that I can access my personally-written resources (e.g., papers I've written for class, sermons and materials that were in Word prior to the Sermon Editor feature, etc.).

    Seems like the user benefits of having PBs on mobile devices has been clearly and repeatedly articulated.   But what I am not seeing in online threads is the LOGOS rationale for why this feature is not up for consideration.   Is it a programming or technical constraint?   Is it a cost - the cost of developing and maintaining this feature would be greater than the benefit?  Perhaps it conflicts with the strategic goals of Logos platform itself?   Maybe the Logos explanation has been discussed earlier, but I didn't see it?  Understanding the reason(s) for not making this feature available might be helpful in looking for avenues on how to move this feature development forward.

    Yes, i'd love to be able to include my own PDF's / etc. Although i can see this would be problematic for user-created books to pass through or be stored on Logos' servers, for various reasons.

    Yes, please add this feature. I. Primarily use Logos on Android, and it's frustrating not having personal books. 
  • Much needed - would also allow personal books to be used on desktop on different computers and upgrade of computer to a new one.  If the problem is storage space on Logos servers then consider an option for users to store on their own cloud account (e.g. OneDrive, Dropbox, etc).
  • Yes this would be great!

    Yes, for non-English Bible translations this would be very useful.
