Why Vyrso?

I am not sure I understand the reason to install both Vyrso and Logos on my tablet. It appears that Vyrso is a stripped down version of Logos. Does it do anything that Logos does not do?

The only advantage I can see to having both is that I can have another book open in Vyrso to add to the 2 books I have open in Logos. But the disadvantage is it that it appears to download duplicate copies of resources to my tablet rather than to use the resources I have already downloaded in the Logos app.

It appears that with Vyrso Logos is trying to appeal to an audience that wants just to read Christian books with the ability to occasionally look up Bible references. Am I reading this correctly?

I think you are correct.

technically, apps are not allowed to share data and this seems to preclude vyrso and other Logos apps from sharing a device-local library. It seems not to be useful to have the same books downloaded to Vyrso and to other Logos apps. I think I remember other users who reported that they use Vyrso for light, recreational cover-to-cover reading and enjoy the simplicity of the reading-focused app.

I think, yes. And if you find that you sometimes fall into this group (such as during flights or train commute), Vyrso may be for you. Otherwise one can enjoy that the Vyrso resources are available in other Logos apps and save space.

I think you nailed it. [:)] The Logos app may be confusing to the reader who isn't trying to do "Bible study" (other than just reading the text).

You really only need one of the apps Logos provides. I use the Verbum iOS app because it has the features from the Logos app (Bible Word Study and Passage Guide, split screen view of notes) as well as integration with Faithlife on the homepage. I used to use both the Logos and Faithlife app to access Faithlife, but the Verbum does all of it.
