Will this be coming to us?
Maybe? It is not on Pre-Pub, which would be our only indication.

From the Translation's Website:
Website:Once the complete Bible releases in print, the LSB will be made available to third-party Bible apps and software developers.
And:
Website:The complete LSB will be released in print by the end of 2021.
Based on this, the earliest we could expect it would be "by the end of 2021," but perhaps not until 2022.
Yeah, even with that I’m not holding my breath. The NASB 2020 still hasn’t been published.
Rick Ratzlaff: Will this be coming to us?
We are currently looking into bringing the LSB to the platform but we have nothing to announce at this time.

Great to hear that FL is working on getting this.
What market is Legacy Standard Bible aimed at? Is this just a vanity project?
Given it is just a revision of the NASB1995 done by Scholars at Master Seminary who is it going to appeal to? NASB has never been a big seller.
Not sure the decision to translate name of God Yahweh is a smart move. The HCSB translated it Yahweh and it was seen as eccentric and put a lot of people off. Hence why the revision CSB is far more popular.
Don't get me wrong I am a bible geek and love comparing translations, but who is going preach from the legacy standard?
Just my thoughts

The market is those who have the wisdom to appreciate the wisdom that a literal translation imparts which cannot be gleaned from a so-called "thought-for-thought" translation. It's a smallish market, but loyally appreciative, and the NASB95 is the best of literal English Bibles. Sadly, Lockman, the publisher, seems to have veered from its core purpose w/ the NASB20, so the LSB may fill the niche Lockman appears to be abandoning.
I'm not a preacher per se, but I do teach occasionally, and I may use the LSB if it improves on the NASB w/o losing its benefits. Aside from being primarily a literal translation, the NASB95 has excellent marginal notes. For that reason, if those notes do not carry over (or perhaps get incorporated into the text), then I will stick w/ NASB95.

I like my coffee black and my working text with a minimal amount of fluff. This sort of thing is always better used than discussed. Looking forward to using it. I have the little app with the NT and Psalms/Proverbs. Much rather have it in Logos.

Maybe John MacArthur. His endorsement appears on https://lsbible.org/.
Have you pre-ordered A Catholic Introduction to the Bible: The Old Testament yet?
SineNomine:Maybe John MacArthur.
He is the driving force behind it.
