Improve startup performance

Please improve the performance of starting Logos, especially to a layout, and especially with one with Bibles with lots of visual filters enabled. In particular, don't block startup on "Preparing your library," especially when there's nothing new to prepare.

The desktop app takes too long to open. Please speed it up.

Can the library preparation be set so it stays prepared so Logos can just open when I start it?

Yes, please improve this. Even with the latest update it is taking longer to start than I am comfortable with.

The Layouts button is often relatively very slow to display. I expect searches to take a moment, but the core interface, which is used multiple times a day, needs to be essentially instantaneous. It is not. For example, the Layout button is relatively much slower than the Tools button or the Store button. The basic program workflow should not slow down the user's brain workflow. I often feel the user is serving the program, instead of the reverse. I'm currently using version 25.2.56 on a 2021 MBP M1 Pro.

@Ross Durham The Layout button is still super slow. This is distracting from what I turn to Logos to do: devotion, study, sermon prep, etc. It seems to me this is an issue that is working against your own goals for Logos.

Feature Request: Optional 2-Tier Bible Navigation (Book → Chapter)
I’d love to see an option in the Android app (and ideally the iOS app as well) to switch the Bible Navigation from the current 3-tier system (Book → Chapter → Verse) to a streamlined 2-tier system (Book → Chapter). My typical use case involves navigating directly to a chapter, and the extra tap to select verse 1 feels…
Verbum Homily Manager Lectionary option, the 1962 Missale Romanum & Eng. Trans.
Why hasn't Verbum provided a Lectionary of the 1962 Missale Romanum, including accurate English renderings of the Latin Text? Why is not the 1962 Liturgy available for use in the Homily Manager's Lectionaries Tool? Your subscribers can use all these Lectionaries but not the 1962 MR: Catholic Daily Readings Byzantine…
AI TTS Voices
I've been playing with (and using) the AI TTS voices and features of apps such as Speechify, Peech, Natural Reader, etc. These high-quality, natural human-sounding, non-robotic voices have made my reading (listening) so much more productive. Some of the features (such as tracking-highlight during read-aloud, option to skip…
search phrases in English Bibles
Is there a way to search for an English Bible text if we are not sure what translation it is. I think of the KJV phrase 'beauty of holiness.' It's not in the NASB. Now i happen to know that it is in the KJV, but there could be other expressions. I think it would be useful to be able to search either Top English Bibles or…
Non-AI, multiple language support in Logos

Greek Γένεσις (Génesis) “Origin” or “Beginning”; title from the Septuagint, later…
