• Am I the only one with this perspective? -- They want me to help fund the development so that they can later charge me for a 'gold' or other version in order to get functionality that I helped fund? The core app will be free, but the core app won't have all the features of the silver, gold, platinum and other editions. I will still be charged extra for additional features, even though, years ago when I bought Logos 2 they clearly advertised that the core and its features would always be free -- that all I would need to pay for in the future is additional books. This is certainly no longer the case! They have split the core up into free (lacking greatly) and paid versions (for what was advertised as something I would not have to buy in the future). I find this quite irritating. I hate lying.

    1. I think you are mixing up different platforms. Logos on the desktop platforms (both PC and Mac - which is more than was available at Logos 2 AND 3 days) is free - and the existing apps for the mobile versions (Android and iOS) are free, too. Even this Windows mobile app will be freely available one day once it is developed. What is charged for is resources (mostly published books) and datasets that Logos generates. Moreover, the dataset-driven functionalities ) that are paid for - e.g. with the Crossgrades - most often won't work on the mobile platforms, at least currently. It seems you are barking up the wrong tree.

    2. Herein NB I believe is part of the issue. An update within a version such as Logos 5 or before are included in the original cost but if you just want to upgrade platform to say Logos 6 then there is a fee for upgrading the platform even though you retain your data level Silver, Gold and so on. I know this to be a fact as I just experienced this and I believe what Hayedid says is more true than your perspective.

  • Jaime, I totally agree. I think it's put in there to sell it as a 14-volume set... which for most people will actually be an 11-volume set. I too am disappointed with the direction I see Logos going. They seem to be willing to peddle any book they can get their hands on... Mormonism, Jehovah's Witness, American History, Plato, German.... Some are okay (Amer. History) if you want them. Others, I strongly believe, are inappropriate. Marc... OF COURSE you are paying for the book. Seems it would be good if they included a math and economics book in the set as well! ;) These community priced books are funded by us as a community. Sure, some of them may be at a good price, but I would much prefer English books. Sure.... some people enjoy foreign languages... you missed the point... mixing English and German in one set makes those who don't know German pay for books they can't read.

      1. Why are these books so expensive. What makes them of value? Thanks. I'd rather get them on community pricing if they are worth it, but I'm puzzled by the current $350 price tag.

        1. What's so special about these books that the pricing is about $200? Thanks.
