Steve Runge’s Review
Logos 4 is out and shipping. I have been using the new version for the last month or so. Generally speaking 3.0 could do amazing things, but often the widgets were buried deep in right-click menus. Things have changed. The program has been redesigned from the ground up by–wait for it, wait for it–designers, of all people. If you have been put off by ease of use issues, I would encourage you to take another look.
What I am most excited about are the tools for teachers. Logos 4 is not just for personal study or prep for teaching, but for presentation. F8 allows you to play John Madden and mark up an window that is open, whether in Logos 4.0 or not. You can also float windows, which allows you to work across multiple monitors or onto a projector instead of being restricted to one. The autosizing of the windows makes organization a snap, and the app maintains snapshots of your latest layouts, eliminating the need for saving workspaces.
The library menu is completely customizable, allowing greater ease in finding what you want. Rule-driven features allow you to create a collection like “grammars” that will continue to build based on the metadata of new resources you add. No more going back and updating collections you have created. It also seamlessly links to a new I-phone app that was released this weekend. Check out Logos 4.
When I said the 4.0 is a brand new build, I meant it. Logos 3 will still run independently, the resources being shared. I shifted over about a month ago and am loving it.
