It will be interesting to see what Logos 9 brings to the table. More so than usual. My perspective of using Bible software for the last 25 or so years is that as the market has matured, we have had full tables of opportunities of study placed before us and developments are not as dramatic as they used to be. So I am curious if I will be 'wowed' by this

[quote user="DAL"]Would you mind explaining this to me (maybe others can pitch in too).[/quote] Sorry for the delayed response. I don’t spend much time on the forums any more. Let me say up front, my views are completely subjective. Everyone’s mileage varies based on the way their minds work, their training, culture, etc. To me, probably drawing from

[quote user="Denise"]And I'm thinking Bible platforms, like other software, encourage (demand) a way of thinking. [/quote] Boom! That's right. Each tool has a different approach. There are times that I want everything to fall away and for the Biblical text come to the front and drive my studies... this is where the Accordance designers get into my headspace

This is my 'go to' resource.

[quote user="R. Mansfield"]There’s room for more than one major Bible software company. It’s not a zero sum game. This isn’t Highlander. There can be more than one. [/quote] And I would argue that there is a need for more than one. I love, love, love Accordance. At least for the way that my brain is wired, the workflows for focusing on the text is so

+1 Maps have been a constantly requested area of focus going back to Logos 2 before series X. I appreciate what has been done and it is not like there has not been any investment at all, but if Logos 9 could make maps rock along with a fresh focus on archeology, that would be awesome!

[quote user="MJ. Smith"] 4. Several branches of Christianity take " Lex orandi, lex credendi" very seriously. Liturgy IS theology in contrast to theology of liturgy. Therefore, Faithlife needs to improve the sequencing of the data in the Liturgy Guide section, implement historic lectionaries (i.e. liturgical dates only), and implement a basic structure

I am interested in this as well... and I highly suspect that it would be a hit!

I have been considering reporting spikes in processor consumption by Logos in the first few minutes on OSX 10.14.3 and the most recent version of Logos. This is with no visible indicator of indexing or downloading of new resources. This is also on a MBP that is about two months old with an SSD, 16GB and i7 2.2 Ghz. On Saturday when this occurred, the

No major issues here...

Some of these MVPs I have known going back to the old Logos usenet newsgroups. (though I don't recall we had an MVP program then... we were a lot smaller group) These MPVs, along with the newer ones, follow my general impression that they are honest and generous volunteers. The company is solid too and Bob has answered my emails on more than one occasion

Not to diminish any critical feedback, I have to say at least in terms of my expectations and experience is that L8 is the best Mac version ever. (I started with Series X on Windows, but moved to 1.x for Mac when it came out.) To me what makes L8 great is not the bells and whistles, datasets, etc., but speed and reliability. There is a clear improvement

[quote user="Bruce Dunning"]Still wishing for Carta maps in Logos.[/quote] Without sounding ungrateful for the amazing tools that we currently have, on my wish list is still an Atlas tool that blows us out of the water.

I am currently enjoying the deep dive on NT334 on 1 Corinthians.

My appetite is amply stoked. Many thanks for this. Wow.

OK, well that should be interesting!

I could be wrong, but similar to removing the 'i' button from resource panels, I suspect the intention is to try to simplify the interface. I get that. Therein lies a challenge. Some aspects of a UI probably don't statistically get used a lot, but to those that use them, it is essential in their workflows.

Really appreciate the speed and stability of Logos 8. At least on the Mac platform, this is the best since we started on this journey with Logos 4. Well done team Logos! Whew! What a journey to get here! I like some of the tweaks to the UI and I am probably in a minority, but I'll throw up some feedback in case there are a few unusual Logos users like

[quote user="Sean Boisen"]The links in Recommend Reading are a selective list from the author of the individual survey articles: they are not intended to be comprehensive (and they include resources that aren't in Logos, if the author felt they were important).[/quote] To aid with helping users proactively understand this, would it be worthing considering

[quote user="David McKay"]Do you think Logos 8 is an improvement? How? [/quote] Yes. Speed and stability. For some there were some elements left from some of the tools in shifting from version 7 to 8, losing therefore some feature parity. Personally, for what I use Logos for I was pleased and did not look back.
