Make Logos 8 practical.
Logos 7 was aesthetically superior to Logos 8, and the homepage was exponentially more practical and functional. The Dashboard cards in Logos 8 are worthless and only require further clicking and loading of documents, whereas in Logos 7 we could see information (e.g., all prayers, daily readings, etc.) in one place, often without scrolling. Currently, the Dashboard cards are immovable, non-sizable, non-customizable, and provide little to no information (e.g., prayer lists show the first few points and no longer have the hover pop-up, and daily readings are only a heading the the day—I can see that on my calendar, I don't need a heading with a date...).
When viewing resources, windows are bulky and headings need to be scrolled through to find the "x" to close them.
In essence, Logos 8 causes more work for me, not less.
I made suggestions at the SBL conference here in Denver and was holding off from upgrading, but I relented and made the switch earlier this week. I regret it doing so, but I hope Logos 8 gets an overhaul very soon.

Excellent write up. I agree 100 percent.I got sucked into Logos 8. I wish I stay with the seven. I called and them if I could go back to Logos seven and was told no. Next time Logos tries to change something they should get the users input. Send out a test version first.
