Bible study is a daily rhythm. But the “daily” part is often the hardest.
Well, this update makes it easier to stay consistent: deeper controls for your research, a better way to build reading plans, and a cleaner mobile experience. Let’s dive in!

1. Conduct research using specific authors
You’ve always been able to ask what the experts say. Now you can ask what a specific expert says.
Author Filtering is now available inside the Study Assistant collection picker. Select a particular author, and your results will draw only from their works—no other voices mixed in (unless you want them).
- Want to know what Charles Spurgeon said about suffering? Filter to his works and let him answer.
- Curious how C. S. Lewis approached the nature of faith? Narrow it down to his books and get exactly that.
It’s one more layer of control for the moments when a specific voice matters more than a chorus.
Those not subscribed will get a limited number of Study Assistant uses per month.
2. Build a reading plan that actually fits your life
Creating a reading plan used to feel a bit like filling out a form. The new Reading Plan creation wizard changes that. It’s a guided, step-by-step experience that starts with your goal, not a blank document.
- Pick your content: A specific Bible range, or any book from your library
- Set your pace: Commit to, say, “15 minutes a day,” aim for a finish date, or go open-ended and let Logos keep your place while life happens
Whether you’re a busy parent carving out a few quiet minutes in the morning or a student using Logos’s Reading Plans to keep on top of your studies, the wizard meets you where you are.
3. See your progress at a glance—on every device
Reading Plan markers now look and work the same on desktop, web, and mobile. No more jarring differences depending on where you use Logos.
One of the most useful new details: reading time estimates. These banners show you an estimation of how long your reading will take.
And when you tap “Mark as read,” Logos automatically moves you to the start of tomorrow’s reading. The next time you sit down, you’re already in the right place.
4. A more focused mobile experience
To make them even better, and to do so faster, our team is putting all of its energy into the Logos and Verbum apps. That means the Faithlife Study Bible and Faithlife Ebooks mobile apps will be removed from the app stores.
If you use those apps, nothing is lost: Your library and tools remain. When you open either app, you’ll see a simple banner with a link to the main Logos app. Less to manage, more to gain.
More updates
- Improved Favorites: Dragging Study Assistant into your Favorites now creates a link back to that specific conversation.
