(Original )Information
What do you like best about Logos?

Logos has a multitude of features I use in my sermon prep. Side by side resources that keep in sync with one another (commentaries and scripture), sermon builder, the ability to search my personal notes, and cross-platform compatibility (I use it on Windows, Mac, and iOS) make it indispensable for my ministry use. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Logos?

My only complaint is that the initial startup can be slow. There are so many features that most users will likely need to spend some time with Faithlife's video tutorials to get the most out of the software. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Logos:

Consider the base packages carefully. There are many resources available in each, and some of the resources you miss out on by buying a lesser priced package may be essential resources for your use case. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Logos solving and how is that benefiting you?

I have a tremendous library of physical books at my disposal, but utilizing them effectively is difficult. My Logos library is a significantly larger library than my physical library, but a greater percentage of resources are accessible due to the nature of Logos' search tools. Logos has also recently added the ability to search for quotes and topics from books in your physical library which a user has scanned the barcode of. This physical library search is a life saver.

(Original )Information
What do you like best about Logos?

One of the best aspect of Logos is how easy it is to search for anything. There are multiple ways to search, and the results always return accurately and thoroughly. I also enjoy the unending library allowing me to add virtually any book I can think of. And of course, making notes and highlights, organizing them and being able to quickly find them later is a great feature. All in all, I would highly recommend Logos. It allows you to quickly find whatever you are searching for, saving you lots of time searching through books, and also providing information and resources you may not have considered looking for. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Logos?

Logos does have a learning curve to it. The software is so expansive, that it can take time to get to know all of the tools. But once you spend enough time in the software, it will become second nature. My recommendation would be to customize things for yourself, which will allow you to more quickly become familiar with the interface. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Logos solving and how is that benefiting you?

Logos saves me much time and money that I would have spent on resources (books, encyclopedias etc.) elsewhere. Having them all in one easy to use software makes me more likely to get the most out of each resource I do invest in. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Logos?

The software itself and some of the resources can be fairly pricey. The software can become resource heavy for a personal-use computer. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Logos solving and how is that benefiting you?

In terms of Biblical research, sermon preparation, and theological resource production; Logos cuts the amount of time dedicated to research and writing down exponentially. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I wish it wasn't so expensive, but totally understand why it is. If I had all the money in the world I would update it constantly. Other than that, I have no complaints. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Logos?

Logos is a very feature-rich Bible study tool. My favorite feature allows you to customize your screen and save your screen so that you can quickly switch between different layouts that enhance your study. My favorite layout places the Bible on the left-hand side and places various study guides on the right-hand side. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Logos?

Many of the resources I can find free in other Bible software tools and in the public domain are not free on Logos. As a result, I still have to visit other websites to glean insight into a Bible verse or passage. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Logos:

If you are looking to invest in Bible software, invest in Logos. It can probably do everything that you need it to do. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Logos solving and how is that benefiting you?

Logos has helped me to speed up my Bible study and enabled me to see the relationship between all sorts of verses and passages with its many reference tools. Logos has helped me in my efforts to write books related to the Bible. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Logos?

Logos has a wide range of titles giving me access to a library that rivals major seminaries and universities on my computer. All the titles are indexed, making research quick and easy. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Logos?

Logos requires a lot of storage and memory to run well, and I had to upgrade my computer to keep up with it. If it were less memory-intensive, that would be great Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Logos:

Keep an eye out for the free book of the month they provide, as it can help expand your research library. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Logos solving and how is that benefiting you?

I use Logos for sermon research and my academic work. It has saved me weeks in research, making me much more productive. The program's efficiency allows me to spend time on other important matters. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Logos?

This is simply the best software for studying a researching all things related to the Bible. Logos offers so many resources and features that I believe it is impossible to become an expert in every area. I use the passage guide regulary, and the factbook. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Logos?

It can be quite a learning curve and also tends to be expensive. Some features are not as well documented, like the sentence diagram tool. I think offering more free video lessons would be benificial. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Logos solving and how is that benefiting you?

No business problems are being solved since that is not the nature of the product. But I am solving lots of problems in Bible study. I am able to research in the original languages quicker, find related resources, and perform powerful searches on the Biblical text. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Logos?

While Logos is a library with hundreds of resources (Bible translations, dictionaries, commentaries, books, etc.), I use it mainly for Bible Study. There are other tools such as Youversion's Bible app that have so many features that using it as a proper Bible study tool is veri inconvenient (i.e, using their search to find a specific verse).

I like the fact that I can lookup the original greek/hebrew words, I can highlight, add notes, and search the entire library for topics, words, specific verses, etc. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Logos?

I have many resources in my library, but I always end up using less than 10. Their pricing is fair (less than 4USD per resource), and I understand that one of the reasons they can give that pricing is that they sell in bulk. But if you plan to use Logos as I do (just Bible Study), I highly recommend you look for some free alternatives (such as Biblegateway+BibleHub or eSword) before purchasing one of Logos' packages. If you plan on getting Logos, please check the resources' list beforehand and make a list of the ones you'll definetily use, and see if the package's price makes sense if you'd only end up using those.

If you enjoy reading and discovering new books and plan on using Logos as a library (as they intend you to use), and not just for Bible Study, go ahead and get the best package you can afford. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Logos solving and how is that benefiting you?

I like to have a Hub for my Bible Studies, I use logos and don't really need any other tool. I like their smartphone app as well and I use it as my main Bible app. All your highlights, notes and library are synced between all your devices, so you can study on the go and take quick notes on the go. They even have a web version of the app, so no matter where you are, you can access your entire library. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
