How do you log off the Logos iPhone app

Bob - I am confused by your posts, but I will try to answer as best as I understand your questions. First, there is no way to "log out" of the mobile apps. It is designed for "one user." This is true for the desktop application as well. If you are using a computer with multiple user accounts, you can add Logos to each of those accounts, however, the only reason to do so is if you create a separate Logos account with separate purchases. Logos does allow a husband and wife to share resources (they are viewed as "one user" as long as one spouse is not in vocational ministry) but you should be aware that it is still designed for "one user." All highlights, notes, settings, etc will be shared by both users. The only way around this is to purchase another base package. 

I think that you were also asking if purchases for the desktop work on the mobile app. The answer is yes, although not all publishers have granted users the right to view the resources on the mobile devices. If you view a resource product description page on the logos website, it will show an iPhone icon to let you know that the resource is available on mobile devices.

If I didn't explain that well or if you have other questions, feel free to ask again! 

It's my pleasure! I think you will find many forum users who are eager to help others learn to study better with Logos.

Eric - First, welcome to the forums!

you can imagine the elevation of my disappointment with Logos when I too encountered the iPhone/iPad issue.

I am unsure which issue you are talking about. Can you be more specific? 

I suggest you change your authentication database to add an additional field to the user's records: spouse email address.  Then the spouse can have a "separate" account for bookmarks, etc and yet have the privileges of spouse who purchased the product.

I am unsure what this would accomplish. Logos is designed for "one user," and only "one user." Thankfully Logos allows for "one user" to include a spouse, as has been mentioned before, but with limitations. Since the software is for "one user," there cannot be a "'separate' account for bookmarks, etc" or else it would be "two users." If you choose to share your account with your spouse, you must be aware of this limitation. 

While logged in, how much resources is it using against the battery time?

I didn't catch this before, or understand what you meant until now (I think [:)]). Are you asking how much battery does the app use when Logged in but not being used? As Mike replied, "none." The state of being "logged in" is one of being credentialed. It does NOT mean that the app is frantically using the internet to maintain a connection. Also, you should be aware that all programs on iOS work in a sort of "hibernation" when not active (open). This allows for quicker loading of apps.

The only drawback to this approach is that you will lose any resources that you have downloaded for offline use.

You are correct that deleting the app will cause you to lose your downloaded resources… however, it is the only way to sign in to another account on the Logos app. Another solution is to install one of the other Logos apps for the other user: 

1. Logos App (called Bible!)
2. Vyrso
3. Faithlife

Hi Timothy! Welcome to the forums. [:)]

There isn't really a reason to log out of the app… but you are right that there is a reason to need the ability to update your credentials. If there were a "log out" feature, all of the downloaded resources would be removed by necessity during that process. 

One reason to "log out" of Logos is when someone buys an iPad used.  I have a colleague who bought a used iPad with the Logos app installed, the old user ID is there and he is using that old users books.  He would like to log out of that account and back in with his own ID.  As far as I can tell, he will have to delete the Logos app and re-install it.

Several thoughts:

1. Deleting the app and redownloading isn't really a big deal. Whenever the app gets updated, you are downloading the app all over again anyway.*
2. The seller was very foolish not to wipe his device!
3. Logos is intended for "one user." Your colleague shouldn't be using the seller's resources.

* When a user deletes the app, all the user data will be deleted. When you sign back in again, all the user data & downloaded resources will need to be redownloaded. Since this is a new user, that would need to be done anyway. In addition, sometimes the installation can become corrupt, so deleting the app becomes necessary. There isn't really a good reason to add "log out."
