Some days you want to open the app and just read. Other days you want all your study tools spread across the screen. And most of us have started a reading plan with good intentions, only to lose track by week 2.<\/p>\n

Version 54 (v54) lets the mobile app work the way you do, builds a Reading Plan around whatever you\u2019re wrestling with, and gives you a little encouragement to keep coming back to God\u2019s Word. Plus, a preview of Study Assistant\u2019s brand-new research mode is on the way for your hardest study questions.<\/p>\n

Watch the update<\/h2>\n

Prefer a video walkthrough? Product manager and longtime Logos user Mark Barnes<\/a> will share everything you need to know about this update in a live session. There\u2019s even time for a Q&A at the end, so stick around with your burning questions.<\/p>\n

Sign up for the video walkthrough<\/a> on October 14 at 10 a.m. (PST), or catch the replay<\/a>.<\/p>\n

    1. Coming soon\u2014a preview of research mode<\/h2>\n

    Some questions require more digging to answer. Maybe you want to trace the Sabbath through Scripture and see where theological traditions disagree, analyze the reasons behind the different translations of Deuteronomy 32:8\u20139, or get a breakdown of what commentaries say about a verse you\u2019re studying.<\/p>\n

    Research mode is a new way to use Study Assistant, built especially for questions like these. It plans how to research your question and works through your library much like a researcher would. It checks your top Bible, commentaries, dictionaries, and lexicons, keeps reading when a book looks helpful, and changes course when it finds a new angle.<\/p>\n

    Just like with Study Assistant, every answer comes with citations, so you can check each claim against the source and then go dig in those sources for yourself.<\/p>\n

    A preview of research mode will arrive in Study Assistant for subscribers soon. It\u2019s an early look, so expect it to keep improving. Once it\u2019s fully developed, research mode will be a Logos Max feature, but this preview will be open for anyone<\/em> to try.<\/p>\n

    2. Your mobile app, set up your way<\/h2>\n

    In the Logos mobile app, tabs and layouts let you keep several books and tools open at once. Some people build their whole study routine around them. Others just want to open a Bible and read.<\/p>\n

    Starting with v54, by default the mobile app turns off tabs and layouts to keep things simple to use.<\/p>\n

    If you love your tabs, nothing is lost. When you first open v54, you\u2019ll be asked whether you want to turn them back on. Or you can go to the More<\/strong> menu and flip the Tabs and layouts<\/strong> toggle. Every tab and layout you had open before the update will be waiting exactly as you left it, and you can switch the setting on or off whenever you like.<\/p>\n

    3. A reading plan for whatever\u2019s on your heart or mind<\/h2>\n

    Logos already has a library of ready-made reading plans, but sometimes what you want isn\u2019t on the list.<\/p>\n

    Now you can enter a topic in your own words, like \u201cPassages that address anxiety for 20 days,\u201d and Logos will automatically build a plan around it with a title for each session and each passage to read. (Plans can be up to 31 days long.)<\/p>\n

    \"A\"A<\/figure>\n

    Before you commit, preview the whole plan to see what you\u2019ll be reading. If it\u2019s not quite right, describe what you\u2019d like changed, such as more sessions or a narrower focus, and the plan will update.<\/p>\n

    \"A\"A<\/figure>\n

    You\u2019ll find it in the Reading Plan Creation wizard, either in the Find a plan<\/strong> search box on the first screen or under the new By topic<\/strong> option when you choose what to read.<\/p>\n

    Build a topical reading plan<\/a><\/p>\n

    \"All\"All<\/figure>\n

    Those not subscribed can create one free topical plan of up to seven sessions each month.<\/p>\n

    4. Streaks that forgive a busy week<\/h2>\n

    When you finish your readings on time, a streak shows how many you\u2019ve completed in a row. You\u2019ll see it on your reading plan card on the Dashboard, in the Reading Plan Manager, and on each plan\u2019s details page.<\/p>\n

    Streaks count sessions finished on or before their scheduled day, so a weekly plan builds a streak just as well as a daily one.<\/p>\n

    \"A\"A<\/figure>\n

    Life happens, though. Fall behind and your streak breaks. But once you catch up, open the menu on any past session and choose Mark as if read on time<\/strong> to repair the gap and pick your streak back up. Read it in your paperback Bible that morning? This is for you too.<\/p>\n

    The point isn\u2019t a perfect record. It\u2019s to see how you kept coming back to God\u2019s Word, even after a week that didn\u2019t go as planned.<\/p>\n

    5. Your next book, easier to find<\/h2>\n

    Sometimes the book that would help you most with a passage is one you don\u2019t own yet. This update puts the store closer to where you study to help you find the resources you need.<\/p>\n
