About this APK

Logos Bible App is an app by Logos Bible Software in the Books & Reference category, listed since at least July 2014. It includes native code only for ARM 64-bit, so it won't install on phones that can only run 32-bit apps.

Since version 5.4.5, the minimum Android version rose from 4.0 to 7.0. It asks for 10 permissions, 3 of them sensitive: precise location, camera and modify shared storage. Compared with version 5.11.2, it adds 4 new permissions (“Camera”, “Google Play install referrer”, “In-app purchases” and “Run foreground services”) and drops 5 (“Authenticate accounts”, “Find accounts on the device”, “Manage accounts” and 2 more). The app offers in-app purchases through Google Play.

What's new in v9.8.1

Fixed - Our services are signed with certificates from Let’s Encrypt. On September 30th, those certificates stopped being trusted on older platforms (Android 7.0). We've implemented a change to work around this issue to the best of our ability on these old devices. However, some functionality is still impaired (Clippings sync).
