Logos 32.1 contains Pop up ads???
Yesterday my Logos updated (and I hadn't gotten the free books of the month yet so it wasn't that). It said it had updated Logos to version 32.1
This was in the Windows version of Logos, too. Not mobile. Not web.
A little later I went to use Logos and noticed a very large blue banner on the top going across the entire screen telling me that if I was a student I should contact them about their academic discount program.
That itself was very annoying. This wasn't the Home section where Logos often puts ads. This was with my Bible and a commentary open, and it had pushed those down about an inch to make room for this huge ad.
That was irritating. I closed it. Figured it was perhaps a one time thing.
Showed up again today when I opened Logos.
What is up with this? This is not acceptable. I have paid a lot of money for this. If you're going to start putting huge ads for your products and services in the middle of our Bible studies, you can bet you're going to drive people right away.

You can switch these banners off in the settings menu:

Thank you!
I don't understand why they would put something like this in. It's very annoying. Something like this used to be found in the Home section, not in the main Bible study area. I think that was a very poor decision.

I'm thinking banners on, unless you subscribe. This fall.

If they did that, they'd frustrate a lot of customers. The ill-will that would cause to their name would, in my opinion, be pretty severe.

As current trends continue, pop up ads and or banners seem inevitable. Ads are thought to drive profit and at the end of the day profit matters most. For our benefit of course. We will all want these ads and scruffy books, so we have Logos in days to come. Many of us have already invested heavily and would hate to lose what we have
Unless something changes. And new leadership may or may not be able to guide that. We shall see.
But maybe not. Maybe things will continue as in the days of our youth. Perhaps the worst will not come upon us at all!
