You may or may not have heard, but Logos Bible Software has dropped a remarkably huge update to their Bible App. This has been a longtime coming, and it features some pretty dramatic updates, so we thought we’d take a second and show off what’s new. My actual app review (the one that’s live in the App Store) is also included below. If you’re an avid user of the Logos Bible Software App, read on to see what’s new!
What’s new with their biggest update ever, Version 6.0.1?
- Introducing Tabbed Browsing: You can now open multiple books, tools and documents in tabs and effortlessly navigate between them with a left or right swipe.
- Introducing Reference Scanner: take a picture of your church bulletin or syllabus and Reference Scanner will read the verse references, allowing you to open them up in your app.
- Introducing Bible button: click the bottom center Bible icon to set and quickly jump to your preferred Bible.
- Simplified reading screen and navigation bar.
And what’s so great about tabbed browsing?
- Drag and drop tabs to reorder them, or swipe up on a tab to close it.
- Quickly and easily split your tabs by tapping on the split icon to use two features in the same tab.
- Link multiple Bible/Commentary tabs so that they scroll in unison.
My official review: FINALLY a big update for my favorite Bible App, Logos. I’ve got a larger phone (Pixel 2 XL) and I’ve got the SPACE for multiple resources to be open at one time … and now the new App allows me to do just that. In the same way that Google Chrome uses tabs for someone to flip around browser windows, you can skip around resources … and have multiple resources and workspaces open at one time. That makes things speedy. And for the heavy researcher, Logos gave us the ability to snap a picture of a page to grab all verse references listed on it. That’s crazy. So why four stars and not five!? There are a few updates that are needed, but the absolute biggest reason is that we can’t yet choose our font! And it’s just little updates like that that are needed to make this App all the better. It’s a solid App with tons of functionality. Give it a try.
