Consolidation of Web Platforms

Logos now has three or four distinct web platforms. Is there any chance they will consolidate all of these in the new app.logos.com? You could keep offering the basic features for free. For those who want the additional web features (without the Logos Now premium content in the program), you could charge something like $3.99 a month. I think this would be very popular and successful.

We have the following Bible web apps:

http://biblia.com/ (replaced http://bible.logos.com/)
http://bible.faithlife.com/
https://app.logos.com/ (replaced http://library.logos.com/)

For now, we don't plan to retire any of them. Biblia is free access to the Bible. The Faithlife site is the FSB web app. The Logos web app aims to bring most of the desktop functionality to the web browser. They serve different purposes. It's possible this will change, but for now each serves its own purpose and will continue to coexist.

Thanks Phil, I've been wondering about this for some time and not really understanding the differences. I guess they seem very much the same to us because we can access our library on all of them, correct? But for someone who doesn't have a library, they can access free Bibles on Biblia or the FSB on Faithlife, and they won't see what owners of a library would see. Correct me if I'm wrong?

I have not use https://app.logos.com/ since that is only for Logos Now Subscribers but I do believe that is what FL originally envisioned for Biblia.com because we were always told more functionality was coming. And yes we have access to all our library through them all. For those without a Logos account Biblia only will display the ESV bible but offeres the 70 free resources you would see in a mobile app that is not signed into your account. Bible.FaithLife again without being signed in (account created) shows you again only the ESV, which seems a bit short sighted. I had hoped that all the Fithlife study Bible resources might be displayed there to help develop a taste for Faithlife products. I know of some people myself included sometimes who do not want to sign up for things because we don't want more spam. Now FL does not sell your info like some sites will but they may share your email with certain partner companies. like Zondervan and such. Faithlife accounts can of course be set up to receive no emails at all but someone coming across this for the first time doesn't know that.

Looks to me like a lot of duplicated effort and unnecessary resources spent on these unconsolidated websites.

Not really. It's the same code base.
