*********** 10 was released for Mac and all I can say is WOW!! An app that runs like a Mac app should and man did they make some nice improvements appearance and operation. Look out Logos it's also coming to Windows in 2013.
Yep, Incredible release!!!!
Logos folk? You there? We are going to have to have a response here, please. Teasers. Anything?
Teasers. Anything?
This thread is referring to a program by another company. I doubt Logos would have much to add. I appreciate the information about the upgrade to that other Mac bible program. My initial experience was a beachball and crash when trying to open the library (seems to be working OK after restarting). Their company forums noted some bugs and promised an bug fix release real soon. Nice to know that this is the way real mac programs are supposed to work[:P]. (sorry, I couldn't resist the sarcasm). Old time Mac fans tend to be somewhat odd (almost religious) when it comes their computer of choice. I tend to take the hyperbola with a grain of salt.(Disclaimer, I'm writing this on a Macbook Pro).
PS. Nice to see this coming to windows. I wonder if George would have a comment about that (ie something about real computers [:S])
What I'm saying is...I hope the guys in the Flatiron building are pulling an all-nighter, because the competition is getting way more competitive. Both of the other cutting-edge alternatives have released major upgrades as Logos 4 has made its way to 4.5c SR-4. This is 2 full upgrades for the mac guys. What's in store for those of us who are thousands of dollars into L4? What's on the plate? It's clear that the guys from cutting-edge competitor for Mac have spent a lot of time looking at L4. A nice word (call it hand-holding) would be nice from the L4 team. Where are we on new features? What is on the agenda? etc.

Having been an early adopter of the Mac OS (June 84), I am always amused by comments about applications being "Mac-like" or "the way a Mac app should work". In the early days of L4, Windows users complained that it was not "Windows-like".
Remember when you first paid for Logos 4? Who cared about beach balls we didn't even have a complete working program for months and now years down the road we're still waiting for completion and promised performance. A beach ball, reboot and and bug fix promise from a company that follows through on it's promises and you want to be sarcastic. Here's my opinion, stick with Logos, you'll be much happier.
I don't want anyone to think of my participation in this thread as negative. I use logos every day. It hardly goes off on my mac. My hope is that Logos does the same thing that Accordance has obviously done: look at the competition and raise the bar. It is an exciting opportunity for any cutting-edge, tech driven company. They know where the competition is, and have a good idea what needs to be done to take their product beyond the current level of the competition. BMW's slogan "the ultimate driving machine." Is not just aimed at the potential consumer, but at Mercedes Benz. "The best, or nothing.", Mercedes, slogan likewise throws the gauntlet down to BMW. The consumer benefits from the competition. If BMW settles for "The Pen-ultimate driving machine" The game is up and a lot of folk switch platforms. Logos claims to be the best. Many of us have voted with our dollars. Now it is for Logos to "re-imagine Bible study; again."

Accordance has already issued 10.01 to fix a couple glitches. Thats pretty fast, new version is not three days old yet.
It does look interesting and yes it seems very fast. For me, the main deciding factor is what resources are available. There are so many choices in terms of commentaries and other resources in Logos which Accordance can't really match. Also the prices are very competitive.
On the negative side, I just wish that the mac version was faster, and a bit more reliable (I still sometimes get unexplained crashes).
I do think the Logos guys do great work, but I agree they are diversifying quite a bit with Faithlife and Vyrso, I just hope the rest of the products don't suffer as a result.
