Logos Now
There is a banner icon on the homepage for an $8.99/mo subscription, but the link doesn't go anywhere yet. I have only had Collector's for a few weeks - maybe I will have to return it with a subscription at that price (it says "SuperCharge your base package," but I'm not sure what that means).

What's the difference between Logos Now & Verbum Now? Will they diverge?
How does the release of any new software features interact with the open betas?
I'm still not clear on the path to ownership for those datasets that are not online only...
I appreciate the discussion. Some of it is becoming clearer.
How does the release of any new software features interact with the open betas?
The new data and features will not be part of the normal beta process AFAIK. The routine betas for Logos 6 will continue to test improvements to the existing program and any enhancements Faithlife has planned for Logos 6 already.

Very little now, expect for access to app.verbum.com instead of app.logos.com. They will diverge more in the future.

We're doing private betas for new Logos Now releases. There may be opportunity for others to participate.

Ownership will be available in the future as part new base packages and crossgrades. Some items will likely be held back for Now (likely, things that are open-ended and ever-growing), but the bulk of things should be ownable at some point.
Thank you Bruce, Mark, Phil, and others, for helping to clarify some of the questions I've had. I think I'm in now. I think the only small issue I have remaining is:

Will there be a package that covers both options? An all access pass for a bit more, $11.99 or $12.99 that includes access to Logos/Verbum/Noet NOW?

We've already given some thought to this, particularly for bilingual users who may want English and German, for example. But the same applies to Logos and Verbum (and Noet). We don't have a solution yet, but we'll definitely keep it in mind as the desire for multiple subscriptions because more likely. Right now, there's nothing to gain by subscribing to both.
Poof! The link is gone. Late April fools.

Don't return you base package for this. It just augments the base package.

What!? Is this new? Does this mean that the base packages are now considered static and will only receive bug fixes?
More info coming soon, but to answer your question:
Logos 6 users will continue to receive free updates to their software: bug fixes, performance enhancements, improvements to existing features, and updates to their resources, datasets, media collections, and interactives. Logos Now subscribers, in addition to these things, will receive access to a variety of new categories of ever-growing content—datasets, media collections, and interactives—as well as early access to new features. Now subscribers will also receive access to the brand new Logos web app and will enjoy other membership benefits like exclusive offers, special discounts, and more.
This is an exciting new step for Faithlife. Logos Now looks very promising.

Hmm $9/month for what exactly? Not sure the value of this.
What is Logos Now?
What do you get with Logos Now?
What does the first release include?
We'll continue to add more value to it over time. More details forthcoming.
For which books of the OT have the Propositional Bible Outlines been completed? Is there a timeline for the remainder?
No official timeline, but we plan to release regular updates—maybe in conjunction with each release—until they're finished.
I will really need to think about subscribing to Logos Now.
I don't think I have any need for additional tools, I don't mind waiting for the release of new features via Logos 7 and I'm happy with the cost of material (especially in the Sales that aren't March Madness).
However... I really really want access to the new web app. I've been eagerly awaiting an update to Biblia because I'd like to be able to access my notes from a desktop computer that doesn't have Logos installed on it. It would be very handy to have some kind of preview of the new (beta) app, or for somebody who has started paying for Logos Now to let us all know what features it contains.
I think I will wait until the annual $89 subscription is announced, as that will reduce the fee to $7.41 per month, which is quite small. On the other hand, I've a payment plan to pay off a pretty hefty base package (plus additional commentaries) which means my monthly payments are really high as things stand. And then there's that list of pre-pubs and community priced things that haven't yet reached pre-pub...
The one thing that would make me sign up to Logos Now immediately (and, indeed, to even pay a higher subscription) would be were it to offer a fuller range of completely up to date academic journals. Just saying. [:D]
Several people have mentioned this. We'll consider posting screenshots and maybe a demo video. We envisioned the free trial serving this purpose, though.
Right now it's basically Biblia.com with a new user interface that looks pretty similar to the desktop app with a few small tweaks. We've not added much new functionality to it yet. There's another thread about the web app that talks about our tentative plans for adding features.
I just want to make sure I have this right:
1 .So if I access via my android or tablet, LOGOS NOW accesses all of my library I use on my desktop as does the current app, but it feels more like the desktop than the current app?
2. LOGOS NOW has some innovative features that I may or may not eventually get in my desktop version via standard updates?
These innovative "features" like the media browser in LOGOS NOW are not accessible in the desktop as this app and the desktop, while they share libraries from our base packages, are totally distinct entities?
One last question. If someone does NOT own LOGOS desktop, can they subscribe to this?
If so, what would they see as there is no base resource to access?
Thanks

FAQ says:
Do I need to own a Logos 6 base package to use Logos Now?
Logos 6 Feature Crossgrade, Gold, or higher will provide an optimal experience with Logos Now.
Get Logos 6 Feature Crossgrade
Upgrade to Logos 6 Gold
Is that a yes or a no?
Still wondering what the less than optimal experience would be for someone without a base package.
