Apps for smart tvs.
I have been thinking this for a long time. If Logos develops an app for smart tvs, it will be great. I can use my tive to display the verse of the day or hour on my tv for my kids. Nowadays, smartvs are very close to a computer that they come with mouse-like remote controllers. So, Logos may turn the fool box into a wise screen for believing families and will have opportunity to contact with non-believers through Logos TV apps.
Please consider my suggestion!
I will look forward to seeing Logos TV app.

Have you seen Faithlife TV - https://faithlifetv.com/
Is this the sort of thing you are looking for?

No!
I'm suggesting for an app that can be installed on regular Samsung or LG smart tvs so that I can display my favorite verses on it and do some basic things like reading my favorite Bible and commentaries.
It will be like Youtube app on your smart tv.

I use a laptop connection via an HDMI cable to fully display my Logos screen.
Works great.

It's so annoying to hook up my computer or connect my smart phone wirelessly.
A Logos app just like youtube on my tv will make people easily connect to the Bible in their room.

I don't think my smart TV has enough power or storage. Especially the storage!

An app doesn't need a storage.It connects to your Logos account in the web (cloud) server of the Logos company. Just like you don't need to store all the videos of the Youtube to view them.

If your smart TV has a web browser(Mine does) you could use the LOGS Web app on your smart TV..

I know that. But an app will make my life much easier and attract more people to the Bible when the Logos is just a couple of clicks away rather than dozens of clicks to type letters on the browser.

Hi Bokman,
It seems to me that you really know what you're talking about. Could you please elaborate how it will be a win-win for Faithlife customers and Faithlife. That is a sure way to get Faithlife or any business to implement your idea.
Specifically:
(i) Could you please list the things that customers can do with the app? It could be "new" things not possible with the current desktop/web/mobile apps they already sell. Or it need not be new, but it could be things that we are already doing, but much more conveniently (which also adds value)?
(ii) Could you also elaborate how providing such enhanced customer experience help Faithlife sell more products?
Thank you
I believe in a Win-Win-Win God.

Hi!
This is my answers to your questions.
(i) Could you please list the things that customers can do with the app? It could be "new" things not possible with the current desktop/web/mobile apps they already sell. Or it need not be new, but it could be things that we are already doing, but much more conveniently (which also adds value)?
Don’t think about what Logos app for Smart TV can do uniquely but making Logos available just few clicks away with any Smart TV. Hooking up computer and mirroring smartphones to TV are tiresome and unstable sometimes. Most people are so lazy to do so. They are so used to click and watch. Just make it simple! Cut the wire and even the wireless by putting an app in smart tvs.
- Casting “Visual Copy” made by the Logos or by the customers themselves to their TVs.
- Simply reading the Bible or let the App read it for customers.
- Casting media resources (pictures, maps, videos, musical notes) on the Logos Bible program to tvs.
- Casting Faithlife TV sermon live streaming to TVs.
Logos may offer a simple basic app for free so that any people can install it and read or view the Bible at their convince.
Or you may offer subscription services for digital contents like Christian movies.
Or let churches post their pastors’ sermons for viewers.
My point is that let Logos be available not just in churches or pastors’ office or in seminary classrooms but also in every household of the world! This would be a great advertisement of Logos with relatively fair expenses for building the app. This will be the answer to your second question: (ii) Could you also elaborate how providing such enhanced customer experience help Faithlife sell more products?
Having a Logos app for smart tvs and devices like Roku will be a great opportunity to let people know what you do and spread the Word of God.
If you happen to develop the app, please make it public that the idea is originated from me.
Blessings,
Bokman Han.

I just look up Faithlife TV contents on my computer.
It's ironic that Faithlife TV is not available on Smart TV when the name has the word TV.

All apps take up storage, and the apps with the most features take up the most room.
I have to limit the number of apps on my TV, especially the larger apps. Updates also further clog things up in places that I can't find the issue, and I have to restore my TV and start from scratch about every 6 months.
I love the idea of being able to do everything on every machine, but when I try to do this, I stress all my devices.
Personally, I would not even try to download a logos app onto my TV. My TV was new about 1.5 years ago and is a lower end model, so it is representative of what a lot of people have in their homes. I have learned to limit the number of apps and to choose each one wisely, so my TV continues to function well as a TV. A logos app would probably work better on newer and more expensive TVs than mine.

It depends upon your TV's operating system. Until the SmartTV market settles on one dominant OS, apps will continue to be hit or miss. Currently, FaitlifeTV works great on SmartTVs with the ROKU, FireTV, Chromecast, AppleTV operating systems (TCL TVs for example). The rest of our TVs at church have a stick computer (https://www.amazon.com/Computer-Windows-Support-Bluetooh-AIOEXPC/dp/B08G1CCWN5?th=1) attached to one of the HDMI ports for easy web browsing on a TV. (I use a wireless keyboard to make navigating the web browser simple - (Logitech K400).
