What's wrong with LOGOS?

I have had Logos for more than six years and have been one of its biggest advocates...til now.

I love that with progress comes change, however what Logos considers progress to me looks more like spam and adware.

Enough is enough. The beauty of Logos for me was I opened the program did a search on the verse, topic or Word I was interested in and bam I had more information than I could possibly adequately review.

Not so anymore. I get the latest upgrade and now all I see are ads to buy more. If this were a FREE app in th Apple store I would expect the added sales advertisements. This is not the case, I paid handsomely for Logos (twice) and want it to simply work.

What am I missing?

Welcome to the forums and sorry to hear your frustration with Logos.

Could you describe where you are seeing ads? Is it on the homepage or somewhere else?

Richard Wardman

On the homepage you can use the settings menu (small wheel on top right) to select which items you wish to see/hide on the homepage. Removing Logos/Faithlife blogs, for example, would mean you won't see certain 'ads' for new products or deals.

If it's in the passage guide (under Bookstore) you can choose to remove that section from the Passage Guide or set up your own Passage Guide to suite your needs.

To supplement what Richard has already said, if you are in Logos 6, the homepage settings are next to your name in the upper right hand corner. In Logos 5, if I remember correctly, it is on lower left corner.

Another suggestion is to open to a pre-determined layout by telling Logos what layout to open to when starting up. This option is found in the program settings.

As has been pointed out you can make your homepage advertisement free if you select to turn off the options which are selling things (prepub announcements, blogs, etc). In fact for me I have not turned them off and find the advertisements to be less obvious than they ever were in Logos 4/5. They want you to buy more it is very true, but I for one am often happy to hear when a new resource is becoming available. I have turned them off in the past and found I missed hearing what was coming up, even when I had no intentions of purchasing them.

What happens when you do a search on a verse, topic, or word now?

Ron - welcome to the forums. Are you referring to being shown books that you do not own in some of the Guides? If so, many users appreciate the feature and the sections can be removed from your default Guide or left closed if you don't appreciate the feature. Of these features only Bookstore could fit my definition of ad. In beta testing it grew on me but as I usually run Verbum it is not a feature I have.

I can see how that might be annoying I had never encountered it since i am a verb user.

There's quite a number of folks in our congregation, that keep the latest Christian Discount Bookstore flyer in the back of their Bible. And it makes sense too. I had to put the hiatus on my LitPress flyer that I was checking out between Bible class and services. Maybe that's what's missing in Verbum?
