Logos 42 (Non-Subscription): Remove Advertising?

While doing Bible study in Logos (version 42 on iOS, non-subscription model), I noticed the insertion of advertising in various pop-up windows. As a non-subscriber using the unpaid version of Logos, I nevertheless understand the value of a subscription model to generate a revenue stream. But as someone who uses Logos for personal study — but who has purchased a number of resource references from Logos — I am not interested in seeing commercial advertising injected into my Bible Study. Is there a setting to make these advertisements disappear?

    What is Logos Plus. I know there is Premium, Pro and Max. But have not heard of Plus.

    We appreciate the feedback. Thank you for sharing your experience. This is something we are actively working on dialing in. I'll point you to Mark's response here:

    @Lukas Logos Plus is a subscription tier that is currently only available through our mobile apps.

    Thank you — I appreciate the feedback and recognition that some adjustment is under evaluation. If I could disable an upgrade advertisement once I’ve seen it, that would be acceptable.

    I specifically logged in to this forum to put just this gripe into the forum. So glad someone else beat me to it. I have the very same study situation as the OP.
    Please leave the study portion of Logos out with adverts. It’s annoying and distracting from my studies. There’s little real estate on a smartphone already and Logos put advertising in the study section? Please stop. I’ve invested a lot of money in my library and would hate to move to esword, but I used it before and will again if it means I can simply study without being inundated with adverts.

    Here's a funny thread of AI answers about Logos Plus

    Preach it!

    Even if it's a new one every day? Ten times a day? Fifty? (This is like Lot and the righteous souls in reverse)

    Simply put, ads are manipulation and control. So, can someone please write an ad blocker for Logos that we can plug in to each platform? Thanks in advance!! 😉

    Now, now. Since Faithlife has always been baby-steps over the cliff, I can foresee selling ad space in Logos, by resource type in use. And like emails, Faithlife won't know when to stop.

    It's a money-making Bible study app!

    OT, I always liked the ads in Bible Study magazine … skipped over the articles.
