Lds Scriptures Library App Reviews

This app used to be my anchor when it came to church and personal study. Not a my longer. The lesson builder and personal study sub apps now longer function, even after I repurchased them. Now longer is there a means to contact anyone for assistance, guess they realized the mess they had concocted. Oh well, good bye old friend.

With the latest update it is not functioning correctly. It no longer loads the art and the library doesn't show the words. A terrible loss because I have had this program for a number of years and was well pleased. Right now it is not good.

I loved this scripture app so much, all the other ones I tried I didn't like. This was worth every penny. Then they did a new update and you have to have Internet to see the hymns, pain in my butt, I liked the old format with the hymn book where you could see the music along with the words. And I use to be able to download the ensign, friend, and that.. Now I can't even find where to do that! The upgrade made this go from a 5 to a 3! That makes me mad, the free app is looking better to me now.

Best app ever, have had it for a while, no issues., my go to app for scripture study has it all. I recommend. Many of the reviews are very unfair

The music will not display at all. Do not buy LDS Scriptures Library. Also, not all of the presidents of the church manuals are in PDF format. I hope that I can get my money back because it is very expensive for the quality that it has.

I purchased this app several years ago because the Church's free app was not really robust enough. I used it happily until it stopped updating (due to some legal/copyright issues). I switched back to the church's free app in the interim and found that it has all the features I wanted/needed except the printed music for the hymns. Plus, the links to videos and conference talks worked much better in the church's app. When this app FINALLY updated, I found that it was identical to the church's free app. No music to the hymns. So, I guess my question is why would you pay money for an app that is essentially identical to a free app from the original content's source?

I've had this app for many years. I've purchased it over and over for my family members. I've had multiple devices over the years and now share on my iPhone, iPad & Mac. I've never had any problems with it! It's much easier to use than the Church app plus you don't lose your data every time there is an upgrade! That's why I prefer it over the church app!

I had the original App on my iDevices, so as far as this app costing any money to get, I just redownloaded the application from the app store as I had already purchased it. no cost to me at all on any of my iDevices. As far as all the crashing that everybody is talking about, I haven't had sufficient time to use this application to notice any problems. So the jury is still out on that one. Thirdly, if you compare this applications data to its competition the Gospel Library, the initial downloaded file from the AppStore is 39.3 MB for the Gospel Library and LDS Scriptures uses 157 MB. Perhaps there are some problems with the program crashing, but I have not experienced any yet. If I do, I'll make a follow up here. I would like to also say that if you want to get the most out of this application, check out the You Tube "How to" video. From there you will see just how robust and useful this program really is. I doubt if anyone has had time to post a new one You Tube for this updated version. But give it a look anyway. A lot of the things are the same across the Versions Again, I have experienced no problems with this update app so far… But if I do, I will address it.

I just put this app on my new iPad and it is horrible. The words don't even appear. I can't get the library to show if I don't hold the iPad up and down. The art kit doesn't have any images in it and no way to download them (nor did they on my old iPod though they do on my kids iPad which I set up for them). The fact that the only way to contact support is through Facebook is also terrible. They should at least have website you can write to. I won't recommend this to anyone and wish I could get my money back. It's a shame because it actually used to be decent.

I am very disappointed. I spent $15 on this app. The Gospel Art doesn't open. Anytime I click on a video the app closes. I can't download anything. Waste of money.

It is my go to for scripture study but really upset when opened to sing hymn and WHAT NO MUSIC TO FOLLOW with words! Seriously says have to download adobe flash with neither iPad nor iPhone 6S supports. Hoping there is a fix!

With the older versions I would have occasional random crashes, particularly when using older devices, or when using lots of tabs, but with this version, crashes are far more often, and while doing the simplest things (eg instance swiping right or left to change chapters). I really do hope that the authors get all the bugs resolved, as this really was the best lds scripture app around and would love to use it again.

This woks on my iPhone, I just got a New iPad Pro and repurchased it because it wouldn't let me down load without buying it again, now no words show up, it shows the library briefly, but after I select a book there are no pages that appear, somebody please address this - this has been an awesome program and I have enjoyed all the references to help me study - this is a big disappointment- was hoping to see it on a larger screen

I love this app due to the pdf but there needs to be an update to fix their per because some of the words are cut off and another item that needs to be added is teaching of Howard w. Hunter PDFs

Years ago iPad 1 days this app worked well for the things it claimed. Fast Forward to new iPad Pro an of course new and improved current version of this app. I love the new Quotes by subject section. I had no issue with scriptures and conference talks. However, Sitting in overflow without Hymn Book I decided to open the app and select Hymns. As soon as you choose any song the app exits. It is better to do a few basic things well than try to do many things poorly.

I love this app. However, a little slow getting the new curriculum for this year to us. When will it update? Hope soon. I like how this app allows me to make the print real bold. The other apps out there that have the same material do not let me make my print so bold which allows me to read it more efficiently and for longer periods of time. Thanks for that. Please update soon.

It's February and the app still has not been updated with 2017 manuals. Very disappointing.

This app went from the Best to one of the worst. The scripture portion is still great, but all of the other services that were changed with the recent update release are terrible. If you plan on using them with an apple product you will be disappointed. Many of the features require Flash Player, as you know apple does not support this software. I strongly recommend to the developer to revert back to the original version. I wish I had never updated to the new version!

I love this app but not happy because audio reading is not working. The app need an update. I think it will be nice if 'HELP' button is included in the update as well

no support except supposedly Facebook (too invasive) lot of content blank on my iMac and iPad , and iPad pro. no art. tells me there is no content or no chapters. no way to contact company. bad bad support ! great concept but does not work.

I had this app since back when it was free and would give that version very high rating, BUT when I had to buy it for my new iPad, I had to give only one star ratting because whenever I try ithe song book, in it, it turns off the app. I have not been able to find a way to contact the folks who made this app about this. Maybe this will get their attention. I hope so, because it is great when it all works.

This used to be such a great app! Now it's pretty useless, unfortunately since I can't even open it. Hopefully this will be fixed soon. At least I got a few good years of use from this before everything changed.

This app used to be good and showed hymns and music scores. Now it crashes

This used to be my favorite scripture ap due mostly to the great reading plan. Since the most recent update, the reading plan doesn't work! It won't record the chapters I've read, and, although there is a 'back' arrow, there is no longer a forward arrow so move forward when I read scriptures from another source. Seems now I have to pay another $1.99 as an in-ap purchase to activate a reading plan? Really?? Highly Disappointed!!

Like the app if works. Keeps crashing on my iPad with no fix help. Don't waste your money!!!!!!!!!

Initially I loved this app but have been disappointed for some time. Any time I have sent correspondence, I received a form response about how this isn't a charitable operation but a for profit enterprise. Having bought hundreds of apps, I get it. Given the expensive nature of the app, I would expect better. I also miss having the PDFs of the church magazines included in the app.

I just love this app. My favorite feature is that you can make tags is the scriptures, conference talks and make your own personal topical guide of your favorite scriptures. I am not great at memorizing references, but now, I can go to my tags, and quickly find any of my favorite scriptures in seconds.

There is a bug in the General conference area. I can't advance to the next talk. When I try the app crashes.

I want my money back. La versión en español no funciona correctamente. Deberían corregirla. Crash every time.

I'm having trouble with just highlighting. The audio doesn't work as well. There was an older version that was great, but this one has so many issues I cannot recommend it to anyone.

No matter what I tried this is too hard for me to get it to work. I am not a technical person so it needs to be simple. I guess I will keep using the other one. Sorry! You can keep the money though if you want it!

I couldn't be more disappointed. Several months ago when this app and the support for it disappeared from the App Store, I was broken hearted and angry. Okay.....legal issues resolved....I thought hooray!!! And then the letdown: I downloaded the app to my iPad and found the developer now wants another $4.00 for the reading plan and lesson developer modules...something that used to be included! I thought I caught a lucky break when I clicked on the upgrades and was notified I don't have to pay again since I purchased them previously. Unfortunately, they don't work!!! They are now just dead links in the app...no way to use them even after several reinstalls. And there is no direct support from within the application...no way to simply reach out to the support folks. Then I find I can't download it to my iPhone because the developer now wants full price for each device you put it on!! What??? Even Microsoft stopped this practice because it's just bad business and it alienates customers. It seems greed has taken hold of this company, so now I am back to the free version from the church. What a bummer.

Can't get an account. Won't download some PDFs.

I used to love this app. It was my go to for my scripture studies. Now the plans don't work. Please resolve this.

I used to love this app. Used it all the time, but since the update, I have not been able to download the Spanish language settings. It crashes 100% of the times when I try to open it. I wish I could get my money back. Eater fix the problems, or just take the entire app from the Apple Store. Not reason to have an app that does not work.

I used to love using this app - but the latest versions are not user friendly. I can not even see the words on the top menu anymore. Where did they go? Please fix.

Update 6. Now Dev is selling LDS Scriptures Pro. Same rating as this app: 2.5 stars. Why would anyone buy an app with a rating of 2.5?? It's the latest gimmick from a horrible Dev: New app is free to download BUT you have to subscribe to use it! Dev; if you are LDS you should be ashamed of yourself! Update 5. Any positive reviews, and there are few, are very old. This app is now junk and it's features and usefulness have long passed. DO NOT BUY. YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED FROM A LONG TIME USER WHO PURCHASED THE APP FOR THE IPHONE, IPAD, AND THE MAC, ALL SEPERATELY, WHEN THE APP WAS MUCH BETTER. THE DEVELOPER, If he was a good and faithful member of the church, WOULD REMOVE IT FROM THE APP STORE IMMEDIATELY!. January 2018 Update 4. Needs to be updated to work with iOS 10. Support only available through Facebook Messenger. This app just keeps getting worse. The dev just isn't paying attention or doesn't care or both. Update 3. Still charging the same for less functionality. Yes, I get it. There was a lawsuit. So lower the price AND make a universal app. If you don't then you are just greedy. And if you are a member you know that's just not right. I'm very disappointed I purchased all three versions (iPhone, iPad, and Mac) by this dev. Sync is just awful; way too slow. Do not buy!!!! Update number 2. After months and months the app just now finally came back "online" at the App Store. However several of the features have been removed. For example you can no longer download "The Ensign". Use the free LDS Church apps. They may not sync (the syncing between my iPhone, iPad, and my Mac versions of this app sync at a snails pace) but at least they're free and they work and they're updated on a regular basis. Update: First of all the dev claims that they cannot write a universal app that runs on the iPhone and the iPad. Hmmmm? Many other devs have no problem with writing universal apps. So to use this on my iPhone and my iPad I have to buy it twice. That's $30. Then if I want the Mac OS X version you have to pay another $10. Now we're up to $40 for one app to run on all my devices. Oh, did I mention that the app crashes EVERY SINGLE TIME I use it? You're getting a lot of $'s dev. Time to clean up your app. Every single time I read The Book of Mormon this app crashes. Every time! It also happens when I listen to it. "Crash-o-matic" comes to mind. Finally, if you want this app on your iPhone AND your iPad you will PAY TWICE. Seems that the developers are a bit greedy. Most developers would create a universal app that works on both devices. Please fix this app so I can at least feel that my $30 wasn't totally wasted.

Why does it take so long between updates. It has been over a year since the last conference updates ? Please update.

Losing the in-app Hymns with the update really kills it. Used to be a 5-star program.

Good app but it keeps crashing when I try and open a hymn, and have a few tabs open up. It rarely does it on the first song, always when I try and close the first song and open another. For the price of this app it should work flawless. Please fix this bug

I have used this product from the beginning. You can do anything to learn, teach , share, and expound the great truthes of the restored Gospel of Jesus Christ and His Prophet Joseph Smith. It is the Best of the Best!

I have not been able to find a print function on the iPad version, and I can't get my iPad to sync with my MacBook.

I like many was excited for the return. Was I wrong! Doesn't sync between devices. I even paid for each device. Bug with the highlighter repeating multiple times. Can get it to highlight at other times. No way to contact support. It's been a month since you secured the copyrights. Fix some of the bugs. Created a method to report bugs. Develop a support page and then respond!

The app crashes on iPad 2

This is definitely the Cadillac of scripture applications with very easy to navigate layout, syncing across all devices, etc. I am sure we don't know half of what was involved in lawsuits and we are all glad that is behind the company. Now, it is time to differentiate the application from the free app from the church. There is still great value in what is there, but you might also consider a paid for upgrade to keep the business model working, but it will need to be significant features. Many are complaining about the hymns and you might want to embrace the church hymn app and just go directly to that instead of to the web with words only.

Why can I no longer get the word definitions when pressed upon a particular word?

My husband and I have had this app for awhile. He passed away in 2016. Now my app s not giving me updates. I too cannot get the hymns. I have not received the conference issue for Oct general conference. He of course no longer has an email or phone number. How do I continue to get these updates?

This App was always at the front of the pack. What is possible on mulitiple free church Apps is consolidated nicely in this single App with extra features. In spite of the routine crashes described by others, LDS Scriptures is worth the occasional crash - usually brought on by memory shortages (in my case). Although I see in the description that the Hymns have been changed to web pointers for the church website, this is a giant step backwards and doesn't make sense why those of us who purchased and have used the App for years have now been downgraded to a lesser version. It causes me to wonder what other content will be migrated to web based content. The whole purpose of having a 150mb App s****** up space on my iPad is so I DON'T have to use the internet for content. I'm starting to think that using the automatic update feature isn't such a great idea. All in all, I still give the App 3 stars for its usefulness and overall quality. It's still worth the price especially if you are a new user who won't know what the rest of us are missing.

This app used to be my go to, my one and only source. Now it's complete junk. You HAVE to have an Internet connection now to use the Hymnal which just is not possible in every ward. This used to be an offline feature. A lot of features have now gone this way, where you are required to have to have Internet connection and it's just annoying. Why even bother downloading this app if I can just go to LDS.org? This isn't even an app anymore, it's just a wrapper.
