I'm trying to get my church to use the FSB - I think it has some great features to encourage Bible study and interaction over God's Word. However, I'm wondering why the ESV costs $10. I realize there has been a lot of hours put into getting the FSB up and running, but how do I ask my people to spend $10 to use a new app when they can get the ESV free either with the ESV app or YouVersion - or a number of others. What is the rationale for the cost? It seems to be a difficult proposition for me to ask people to do this when they already have mobile access - just not with the FSB.
I thought I recalled a year or so ago if people downloaded the Logos app they got a number of resources free - including the ESV if I recall correctly. Is there any way to get people the ESV without the $10. I think with the pay this app will not be nearly as useful or utilized and I simply have a hard time asking them to pay for something that they already have for free on their phones or mobile devices.
