    This works well on Android and operates much like e-sword for pc. The commentaries and other aids are excellent.

    I like that Logos will sync my notes to the cloud on their servers and even on my phone, laptop, and tablet. You’ll never have to worry about losing your notes; they will always be there for you.

    In logos, you can add keywords so that you’ll be able to find all the notes that contain that keyword.

    E-sword has strong tools on translations and understanding the original texts. Youversion don't have the dictionarys with strongs numbers, but is more based on the community, sharing thoughts, prayers and bible verses. You can read the bible in both of them, but they have two different directions on the "extra features".
