- I would suggest to Logos admin to continue to gently and patiently test the market appetite for portable services (apparently mostly negative as I read the last ~2months of complaints here. Consider instead to model after cloud storage services (Box/Dropbox/etc) for secure storage of my personal documents for a manageable fee like other market options for cloud storage... with the ability to export.) I personally LOVE the PORTABILITY of my Logos library on my iOS devices and am glad to hear [implied] that Logos-7 will not charge me (see Jacob Cerone's post ~2months ago) more for accessing my already purchased library but instead provide an optional path for me to choose to pay for increased data functionality/features ... preferably via an app-accessible (and web), high-functionality/customizable webservice to access WITHOUT the need for a PC. Having the ability to do some of the higher-end search functionality/prioritizations (e.g., LearnLogos.com by John Fallahee) that a standalone PC is presently required for today but...at a FASTER rate via a cloud-based, webservice is attractive to me for the future. Additionally, I personally would request the option for a monthly/yearly fee to access more expensive additional library offerings that I have not be able to afford thus far. I would be willing to pay $50-$100/year to ACCESS expensive items (hint: customize to my personal wish list for example) for a set timeframe or a rent-to-own with a low-interest plan. Personalized wish list pricing might be attractive to people beyond me. From a positive perspective, it is apparent that plenty of education (? more re: Logos-7) is needed for your present Logos user base to continue and, likewise, to attract new users to continue to invest in Logos' fantastic resources. I would recommend to always keep both a ownership purchase pathway and a subscription route of special access/features for best user retention. Keep up the great content and dedication to improvement! Keep working to streamline the new book onboarding process! As a user for 15 years, I hope to continue to build my digital library (and my documents) that I can leave as a heritage to pass on to my family/etc with time. Blessings...
- I hope Faithlife is reading these comments. You're point about paying for access to expensive libraries is very good. What is troubling for many paid owners is paying "for increased data functionality/features." I guess depending on how you define functionality/features is the sore spot. For example, when paid users have NT Propositional Outlines but the OT is "Exclusive to Now" that doesn't sit well. The functionality is there, fully formed and could be deployed to existing software owners. Withholding from those who have invested thousands of dollars and expect updates is marketing, pure and simple. I should add that I used to work for a software company and saw this from the inside. It's all about revenue.
