Lds Scriptures App App Reviews

I like the app so far, my problem is continual crashing when I select/copy text and then try to go to my journal and then paste. I did it a few times, now giving up because it's so frustrating!!

I love the reading plans. Thank you.

Been hearing over a year about a great update. Nothing

Folks that are complaining. This app is complying with a lawsuit that was filed against them and the church that keeps them from placing the hymns here directly. Just an FYI. It's not an intentional downgrade for no reason or without cause. Obviously, all you can do is judge for yourself if it's still an app that you appreciate or that helps you.

This app feels clunky and is not as smooth as the official LDS one (black icon with angel Moroni) BUT I really like the reverse lookup and have this paid to install this on my iPhone, kindle and Mac. It's a very handy and useful tool to have. Click on a number next to a verse and see everytime that verse has been cited in the LDS gospel library.

If you enjoy reading in Spanish, like I do, don't update. The app crashes when you try to read the scriptures in Spanish. I hope they fix it soon.

No updates... Loved useing this app but without updates it's a paperweight.

I cannot login to my existing account!! I have tried contacting someone through Facebook for support and I am getting no response. I must be able to get into my account, I have a lot of things saved in there!!!!! Please respond ASAP!!!

I paid $15 for the app and now they charge $3 for each new feature? It's as bad as a freemium game, only the upfront cost was very high.

This is my favorite app by far. I use it everyday for personal reading as well as preparing lessons. I love that it has all of the manuals so if you are ever asked to teach a class at the last minute, you have the manual and can prepare the right lesson. There are a few things that do require Internet to access due to legal rights to content but those are few and most of the time we are all connected one way or another so that doesn't matter to me. This is the must have app in my opinion.

I do not mind paying for an app. I do mind paying for an app separately for the iPhone, the iPad, and the Mac. Most iOS apps today are universal showing that Dev’s can make good money without charging separately for the iPhone app and the iPad app. The app updates have been painfully slow and the app is essentially getting worse, not better. Promises have been made by the developer they would improve the app significantly but those promises were made over a year ago and there’s been no change. As one other reviewer stated the support has been moved to Facebook which is really stupid idea. Anyway Occasional insomniac get some sleep. Clearly you need it! ....they don't mention their many features that are missing now. These 3 apps (purchased separately for iPhone, iPad, and MacOS) are giving the dev 3 sources of income. I see that as greedy. I've stopped using this app because it is sorely outdated and sync is very slow between the three apps. This was the best and now it has become the worst. I've stopped using it if favor of the standard LDS library app. No syncing but current and FREE! That promised new app(s) a year ago but have not delivered on that promise. 3 updates in 2015, one in 2016, and one in 2017. That's weak!

The audio feature doesn't work at all! I often only have time to listen to scriptures instead of reading, and now I can't even do that with this app. Can't stream; can't download. Just no audio functioning whatsoever. Please fix this!!

This is an expensive app for what it does and does not do. I am a listener to scriptures and other materials in the car. This app has no audio player functions. The old "LDS SCRIPTURES" app - apparently no longer available- is a superior product because it does the things this app does not do. Come on guys... You can do better! Also: no verse selection on lookup. This seems like a poor version of an old Palm pilot app. Sad but true!

Have reported this before & told to uninstall and reinstall app. Did that. App still throws you out when attempting to access any of the church magazines.

So lately, whenever I open the app, it just sends me to the main page. Or if I was reading and close the app for not that long, it again will lose my spot and send me back to the main page. I haven't had a chance to check out the update yet, but when I just barely opened the app to read, it took me to exactly the same spot as I had it before. I wanted to give a better review because I knew I had not given a good one because of the last update. I'm going to read my scriptures and if it is indeed back to awesome, I will come back to give it 5 stars. I love this app, just didn't like the last update. Glad there are some changes!!! Thanks for listening!!! Update! It's great!

I love this app, but the tech support is nearly non-existent! I got a new iPad and lost the app with all my notes, markings, etc. in the transfer. The only communication is via Facebook messenger. The admin responded once but it was no help.

Great app great support never an issues and always upgrading!

I have the "no longer supported" standard works app. I loved it. They just vanished. Is this he same software? Company? Developers? Why did inhale to pay twice? This better be good. I'm trusting you.

This is not an update! They took away the Hymns from the app. Now it takes you to the LDS.org website and gives you an awful hymnal experience. Stick with the previous version.

It has taken too long for the update but the app is the best there is and worth every penny!!!!

I bought this expensive app for all the content and was excited about the audio portion. This feature doesn't work and I have tried everything on my end with my iPhone 6 to fix this. I see other people complaining of the same problem. Please fix this! I will attempt to contact support however I see from other comments that your support needs fixing as well.

This was a great tool for me. I did love it , however without current updates for 2017 example: Teachings Gordon B Hinkley has become useless and takes up space on my IPad etc. If you do not need updates it's great if you do don't make the purchase.

I'm sorry but those changes renders the app irrelevant and unusable, and until you change that, I'm not using it, or using the old version. You charge the same while delivering less?? Why use this app if all it does is redirect to the LDS site? I can go there myself! The changes are unacceptable!!!!

So nice for members to have an alternative to Gospel Library.

This is a wonderful app and very user friendly however I would suggest that y'all change the page system to tabs that can be accessed at any point within the app. And also when you search for something it would help if it displayed the book that it's in and not just the chapter and the category

When the app quit working I deleted it, glad to see it back, but never thought I'd have to pay agian after all the times I've already purchased it!

I bought this app. Why do you keep asking me to sign in with my LDS account password. I have no idea what it is, and there is no option to retrieve it. I PAID for it, so stop asking me to sign in every day, please!

Love so many things about this app! Just wish when I listen to the scriptures it starts in the middle of the chapter with a corrupted file. Happens on a regular basis. Wish this would be fixed!

I was encouraged to see the update come through yesterday, providing an update to the latest general conferences, along with Teachings of Gordon B. Hinckley. I do have the desktop version as well as the iPhone version, and yes, I actually had to pay for it (imagine that, paying for something someone produces so they can try to make a living!). The other reviewer of this update should demand a refund, then never come back. The official church app is nice and they should be content with it (hey, it's free). As for me, I'll continue to look forward to the updates promised with this app. I use the official church app the most, but I STILL use the desktop app all the time; it's quite handy, even with its limitations. I was disappointed that I am not currently able to get the desktop app update (500 error right now), but I'll be patient. Don't let me down, guys, it's been a long time, and I'm hanging in there with you.

2 stars because you updated your chapter headings in D&C which no longer contain the actual source where the historical account was originally recorded i.e. H of C etc.... Fix this please!

I love to have this app open as I am reading my scriptures, if I come upon a verse I would like further exploring of.. The app is has a complete list of references that include that verse(from general conference to handbooks). This is a phenomenal app, worth the money!

I really like this app, and use it regularly.

I bought this app when it first came out on my iPhone, and again on the iPad (when you used to have to pay for both version). I feel with all of the purchases over the years (not a cheap app, either) from all customers, it is unethical for the developer not to update the app with new content, just because it is "tedious and difficult." Additionally my sync and bookmarks no longer work between my iPad and iPhone. I am now worried that I will eventually lose my many years of highlights and notes. Very upset and feel this developer is neglecting us--paid customers. Ironic, considering the content of the app.

LovED the app have used it for years...but no updates in the last year are a problem.

I've really enjoyed this app for many years. This newest update 3.17 downloaded yesterday 5/2/15 has the following glitch, hopefully you can resolve it quickly. Studying this weeks SS lesson-come follow me. When you click on a link within the lesson you can't back to the lessons. It backs you all the way out to the select lesson screen. I'd also like to see a link within the app where we can give you a heads up on broken links and other items. I've found number in my days, but never reported them because I didn't know where. This problem above in the SS lesson was more than I want to just look over. Trent Richens

The app is great, but it doesn't have the Teachings of President Howard W. Hunter manual in it.

Although I love using this app, it crashes continually during my scripture study time- like twice in 15 minutes :(. It also freezes for about a full minute until a square pops up saying "verification failed during sync. Return to account settings, yes or no". I hit no and continue until it happens again. I've contacted them on Facebook and can't get them to help me resolve the problem. I have so many notes stored on this app. It's disappointing that they don't take responsibility more seriously to help customers. I've been a customer since they first started. Very disappointing because they have.a great product when it's working.

Still the best scripture app. So glad the church rescinded its policy. They're improving the church mobile app, but it's not even close to as functional or polished as this app.

I have really tried to like this app, but I find it extremely cumbersome and difficult to navigate. I like the overall concept, but bookmarking, highlighting and making notes in most apps is a pretty basic function, but for some reason I find it very unintuitive and frustrating when using these tools in this app.

Please make older app versions available! My scriptures are now unusable. I have an older phone, and the newest update will not complete. It's frustrating to pay $14.99 for an app that expires. If you have an older phone, do not- I repeat Do Not Update.

Not all the time do we have an Internet connection in our ward, because of our location. I liked using the hymns on the app with the music and words. Now I can't. Oh well, like everything that gets updated to make it better, it always makes it worse. Especially, when we have to use the Internet for everything.

Just did the update that said would fix the reading plan bugs on the iPad. It did fix the ability to begin a new reading plan but still does not allow me to page through the dates nor does it show the date I'm on like it used to. Would appreciate a fix for this as well!! Thanks.

The updated version of this app stinks. The hymns were better when you could see the music. Now it just displays the lyrics. Also, I don't like how you must have Internet connection to use the app. It was much better before it started opening everything in the lds.org website. Please change it back!

I have used this app for years. When there were copyright issues recently, I was totally bummed. I prefer this app for prepping my Gospel Doctrine lessons over the Church's app. I was glad when they got the copyright issues worked out and couldn't go back to using this app for my lessons. The one thing that is dissatisfying, is the syncing between devices. It's pretty horrendous. The Church is app is 100% better at syncing between devices. I wish I could merge the best of both apps.

When is this app going to be updated or are they out of business? Need President Hinckley manual.

It's April, but where is the Gordon B. Hinckley manual? If there was something I needed to do to add it, then why wasn't that made clear somewhere easy to find?

It works great! Just needs the current General Conference added.

Love having this back! From release notes it looks like there are restrictions on what creators can have in app now - unfortunate but I get it. Love having it again, this is my only go to app for church - use it 100% for our lessons we teach.
