verbum app

I was a Logos owner and bought Verbum when it came out, was told to write : Set verbal to yes.
Then saw the Verbum app.
Was told I didn't need it as "set Verbum to yes" did the same thing as the App.

My question is: Does this remain true now?

Is there any difference in function if I download the Verbum app?

Thanks in advance.

Is there any difference in function if I download the Verbum app?

Hopefully a related question: Where do we find a list of all of the differences between the following? :

set Verbum to no in Logos 6

set Verbum to yes in Logos 6

running the Verbum program itself

[the differences have been small but at some date running both Logos x and Verbum will be needed if you own both]

From my understanding you should never need both, but some features that are directed to catholics will require Verbum to run them.

If you will / do need Verbum to run a feature will we always be able to use that feature by 'set verbum to yes'? Your reply implies that:

A) Verbum will have more features as it will have the added features directed to catholics

or Logos X with 'set verbum to yes' will always pick up those features. Please clarify. Thanks.

[[There maybe only so much they [Faithlife] can do with a global switch like 'set verbum']]

Currently as I understand it Logos 6 "set verbum to yes" gives you the same functionality as the Verbum 6 app. We were told when Verbum debuted by Logos employees that even though currently at that time "set verbum to yes" gave you all features that the Verbum app did eventually any new functionality/features designed for Roman Catholic users would appear only in Verbum. It is very true that Verbum can now and likely always will open and perform all tasks Logos 6 does, it is equally true to say some features that are primarily Catholic in interest will be implemented in Verbum and will not be incorporated in Logos 6.

One example, that I have no desire to see, but one day well may come. Saying your Rosary with Verbum. Since this would require extra graphic resources and a new menu item, I can see how this type of thing may find implementation only in Verbum. Although variations like Anglican Rosary/Orthodox Rosary would be great options and then might make more sense to apply on Logos 6 at that point as well.

That of course is a total fiction of an upcoming Verbum feature as far as I know. But it is also the type of thing that would likely never find it's way into the Logos program even if "set verbum to yes" is active. Since we were told Verbum features will eventually not be implemented in the Logos program it only makes sense that if you want all Verbum features you should be running it. To keep both a Logos install and a verb install makes little to no sense to me since Verbum can read all books and I believe has most all features that are found in Logos (in the back of my mind it seems to me there might be some sermon archive related item that does not function in Verbum, but I cannot remember what feature or function it was).

Hopefully some actual Faithlife personnel can step in to confirm what I have said and or tell us the future for Logos "set verbum to yes".
