What Dr. John Fallahee Covered in the Logos Mobile Webinar
In the first part of his “Logos Mobile: 20 Key Uses” series, Dr. John Fallahee walked us through the essentials that make studying on an iPad or iPhone a smooth, biblical‑focused experience. Below is a practical, hands‑on look at the features that will help you use Logos on the go.
1. Quick‑Start Navigation
The first thing you’ll notice is the simple navigation bar at the top of the screen. Tap the Bible name to choose your default text, use the three‑dot menu for quick settings, and the hamburger icon for deeper options. 
A consistent default Bible saves you from switching back and forth during a study session.
2. View Settings – Size, Layout, and Color
From the three‑dot menu, open “View Settings” to adjust font size, line spacing, and background color. You can switch between sepia, white, or black mode and even set a custom brightness. 
These tweaks let the text fit your comfort level, whether you’re reading in a dim church pew or a bright office.
3. Font and Reading Style
Logos lets you choose a typeface and decide whether you want a continuous scrolling view or page‑by‑page paging. You can also toggle the red‑letter text and enable inline footnotes for a cleaner look. 
Experimenting with these settings helps keep your focus on the Scripture itself.
4. Highlighting and Accessibility
Tap and drag to highlight passages; the app offers a smart text selection that makes choosing verses quick and accurate. The “Keep Display On” option prevents the screen from sleeping during long study sessions. 
Highlights can be saved to a notebook, making it easy to revisit key points later.
5. Split‑Window Layouts for Side‑by‑Side Study
Access “Layout” from the hamburger menu, choose “Split Window,” and then add a Bible, commentary, or study guide to each pane. Use the chain‑link icon to link the two panes so that scrolling in one automatically updates the other. 
This side‑by‑side view is ideal for comparing a verse with its commentary or a Greek word study.
6. Audio Playback and Reference Scanner
Logos can read Scripture aloud, which is handy for listening while commuting. Swipe up to exit the audio overlay or tap “X” to close it. The camera icon lets you scan a printed reference; the app will auto‑navigate to the passage. 
The scanner works best on printed text, so keep a quick reference sheet handy.
7. Sermon Manager and Note‑Taking
Through “Tools → Sermon Manager,” you can launch a sermon in a full‑screen, distraction‑free mode with a built‑in timer. For notes, create a notebook first; then add notes that link directly to Scripture passages. 
Keeping sermons and notes organized on the phone means you can review them anytime, anywhere.
8. Practical Checklist to Get Started
• Set your default Bible in the hamburger menu → “More → Set Top Bible.” • Adjust view settings once and leave them for future sessions. • Create a notebook called “Mobile Study” and save all highlights there. • Use split‑window layouts to compare a verse with a comment. • Scan reference sheets for quick access. • Store sermons in the manager for rehearsal on the go. 
By following these steps, you’ll be able to study Scripture on your device with confidence and clarity.
Dr. Fallahee’s walkthrough shows that many of the features you use on a desktop are also available and very convenient on a mobile device. With a little practice, you can take your Bible study wherever you are.
