$$$ Question: Does anyone know the differences between the two platforms?

Long story short, I had to install Verbum 37.2 on my MacBook since the old OS will not support Logos 38. Logos will no longer start and I can’t revert back to Logos 37.

The Verbum app interface looks almost identical but perhaps the dashboard has some tweaks. In Mac the app gets stored in another disk image media so now I have both a Verbum app and a non-functional Logos app.

I am now using a few more GB of data storage for the resources… no idea why I can’t say if my library count has changed but I do see I have new temporary books due to Vervum Max subscription. I am pondering if I lost any temporary Logos books. Does anyone know the differences between the two platforms?

Verbum is functionally the same as Logos but with some predefined Collections like Catechism, Church Fathers, Church Documents in Books Search and some different terminology e.g. homily for sermon. It does not require a Verbum subscription or Verbum base Library as it will use your existing library. My Verbum Dashboard is the same as Logos'.

This is nothing to worry about. Temporary books still use disk space (!) and you don't lose books/resources or features because of a new subscription.
