    I don't. I like to read and think.

    This is another feature that I don't use.

    I don't, but I have in the past. I need maximum flexibility.

    Can't follow rabbits with a reading plan!

    1. Optina Kellia reading plan Optina “Kellia” Lectionary — Logos Community
    2. Catholic USA Lectionary (daily)
    3. Office of Readings two year cycle

    Combined they keep me firmly grounded in the Gospels

    I use them to basically keep track of where I'm at, always with the "at my own pace" option. Mostly the Bible (whole or portions, occasionally single books). The single "by chapter" option for books is too restrictive for me, so I use it but infrequently. The formatting issues that occur from time to time (like double spaces between entries or duplicate entries) are annoying and sometimes a turn off.

    I love my reading plans. I have lots of them, some at your own pace and others daily, but they help me to focus on what I want to read next.

    I am with Francis — I have more books than I can comfortably read at any one time, so the Reading Plan is my catalog of books I want to read. Plus, as Francis also said, it is an easy method of keeping track of location. I particularly have a large collection of Romans commentaries and I enjoy at least skimming them and this is an easy method of tracking which ones I have "read" and which ones not.

    I would use it more if it were a bit more user-friendly.

    • Readings are not consistent in length (example, the same problem exists in Bible reading plans)
    • They break off mid-paragraph. It's not much of an issue on desktop since I can scroll up or down as needed, but in mobile they only load the reading plan of that day, leaving me wondering what the first half of a sentence was.
    • I wish they could auto-generate smaller chunks in reading plans. Some chapters are massive and can't be done in a day.
    • Creating plans from multiple books, or only sections of a book, is clunky. It'd be nice if I could actually 'Drop a shortcut here' such as the locator bar section seen below.

    For devotions I used it to create a custom reading plan I shared with our church. We are reading through the whole Bible in 2 years… nice bite sized sections. I have a FB group where we share observations and questions on our daily reading. I use the reading plans to get through books by reading at my own pace… it helps me keep track of where I have read already.
