I have several apps from Faithlife on my iPad: Logos, Vyrso, Verbum and Noet. But I have registered that the number of resources availible is different in these apps:

Logos: x156
Vyrso: x152
Verbum: x148
Noet: x159

Could anyone explain why?

    Faithlife make a range of free resources available to the mobile apps - but different resources are granted to the different apps.

    These do vary from time to time so I don't believe there is a definitive list but this should explain what you are seeing.

    I too have noticed this. 

    1. If something is only available in the app, then you wouldn't be able to access this on the desktop correct? I found a neat resource for Lent on the Verbum app but am unable to access on desktop.
    2. How can you check your library for resources specific to the particular app? Bible! Verbum, Faithlife, Vyrso, etc?

    There are a few resources - ones that are provided for free - that are mobile only as far as the free version goes.

    You might though find that the resource is available for purchase in the Logos/Verbum catalogue.

    Which resource are you referring to?

    David- for clarification... There aren't any resources which are "mobile only." ALL resources are available on the desktop platform... Provided that you own a license. The Various mobile apps come with "free to use online only" resources for which the user does not acquire a license, which explains why the resource isn't availble on your desktop. You will need to purchase a license... Sometimes for "free"

    There isn't a good way to determine which "free to use" resources come with each app. You Could delete the app and reinstall without logging in with your credentials... But even then some resources are provided only when you create an account. You would have to create a dummy account... But even then some resources change from time to time. It is my understanding that the Vyrso "free to use" resources change more frequently.
