Is this really necessary? Please don't thrust adverts in our faces!

Dear Logos,

Please don't do this.

I'm perfectly aware of the subscription options. I've already spent £1000s on Logos products and don't need reminding.

This is irritating and unnecessary and if anything is making me less inclined to upgrade.

Keep adverts for the Dashboard ... But please don't waste screen space and create distraction from Bible Study, which is what you said you want to promote, by stuffing adverts into the interface like this.

That's it really.

    I echo this request. This includes banner ads across the top of the main window.

    Logos is my Bible. Please don't put ads in my Bible.

    Send me all the emails you want, and I don't even mind if you put it in the dashboard. But not in my Bible.

    Thanks.

    It is alarming when you see the slow but steady progression of ads in Logos.

    First, it was the dashboard. Then, it was banner ads directly in your Logos. And they reasoned, well they'd try to pick a time when you haven't been using it. And, then it went from you can disable it to you can only disable it if you are a subscriber.

    And now this.

    When does it stop? How long before we'll have to pay extra on top of the subscription to not see ads? Or be forced to watch a 30 second video from a "partner" before we can use the software? No matter how many thousands or even tens of thousands you've spend on books.

    Really? If so, I knew it'd be best not to update.

    Also very against any ads within the program. Email marketing is fine, unless one opts out.

    Please don't go this direction, Logos.

    I think I have banners turned off, but I don't get any.
