I love this app!

This app is great for helping me memorize the scripture mastery scriptures! It has been a big help to me. This quiz function on it also is handy to learn the references/subjects of a particular scripture. My only suggestions are to add in an option to check off the ones you have memorized and adding audio for the verses could also prove helpful for hearing it to learn it. Again, thanks for making this app to help me with my gospel studies!

Jonathan,

I probably know that I won't say anything that someone else hasn't already said, but I want to say that remember this scripture, "And it and to pass that I, Nephi, said unto my father: I will go and do the things which the Lord hath commanded, for I know that te Lord giveth no commandments into the children of men, save he shall prepare a way for them that they may accomplish the thing which he commandeth them."
1 Nephi chapter 3, verse 7.
Just remember that no matter what happens, the Lord will provide a way for you to accomplish or get over it.
Yours truly in faith,
Taylor

Add a checklist

Hey guys I'm a first year in seminary and I love this app but it would be great if you add a checklist on it just like the one in the book so we can see which ones we have done and passed off

If this can be done then thanks

Basic

Ok app but pretty basic and certainly doesn't make the best of the technology. A reasonable starting point with an awful lot of room for upgrades and improvement.

Good App

This app is a great way to learn your scripture masteries. And it's just fun!

A New Feature Or Two That Would Be Helpful

I love this app. I'm learning these scripture mastery really fast. I'd love to have a feature where I could listen to the scripture mastery scriptures. You could probably pull the audio for the verses from the audiobooks of the scriptures. Then if I could hit repeat for a certain verse that I'm wanting to solidify in my head, or even if I could pick several verses that I've been working on that I want to solidify - I think that would be another extremely powerful tool for me to memorize scriptures. That way I could use the flash cards with my morning study, and then I could listen to the verses I was working on while I exercise. Another feature that I would love would be the ability to select any verse or set of verses from the entire scriptures that I would like to memorize and have them be added as flash cards to a "personal scripture mastery" section. Then I could more easily memorize scriptures for lessons or personal benefit. Thanks! :D

Really works!!! And its fun!

I teach early morning Seminary (Freshman through seniors). Over the summer we got an Ipad, so I got this app this year to try out. I play the music from LDS scripture rock (Jason Beaird) on a loop for the scripture we are trying to momorize. Then I bring up the "Memorize" section of this app. (I have the ipad hooked up to the church projector so everyone can see it). Then we just start moving up the levels, removing more and more words. So far I have used it for 3 verses in the Old Testament and 80% of the class has been able to memorize the scripture within 15 minutes. I plan on using the quiz section of the app with the class 4 in groups and one dry erase tablet per group. I just wish they would release an IPAD specific app that lets you do landscape mode. Also letting the user adjust the text size would help greatly...I mean what is the point of having all that whitespace on the memorize part of the app?

I have also had a few students download the app on their ipod touches - one memorized 4 in one weekend!!! This is a great app!! Thanks for producing it!!!!

Great App

This is a great app with loads of great features. I like the Flash Cards and the Quiz but I especially like the Memorize features.

I would really like to use it in my seminary class but the font (courier) that the scriptures are written in is so light it doesn't show up well when it's displayed on a TV. If you could add an option or just change it to use a bold font (like in the menus) then it could be used in seminary classes as well as being used individually.

Jonathan

I have read your post and this is what came to my heart. I would obey my parents above all things. I do not believe Heavenly Father would strip you of your testimony because your parents have forbid any type of LDS influence. I do agree having LDS material readily available is vital in having a strong testimony, but it's not everything. Your testimony is something you feel in your heart and soul, a non tangible item that can't be taken away by anyone. I suggest getting a journal an documenting your love for the gospel and how it makes you feel. Try to recall all you know and write down. You will eventually build your own material that will uplift your spirit until you can have church produced materials again. Your journal isn't produced by the church therefore you are obeying your parents wishes. This must be very difficult for you and your parents. I pray for you all in hopes the gospel will return to your home once again. Many blessings and prayers.

Fantastic!!!

I memorized a scripture in less than five minutes. Five stars if they added a few more features such as: audio scriptures so u can listen to someone reading the scripture, a checklist so u can see all the scriptures you have memorized and a way to put other scriptures u want to memorize. Then I will change my review to 5+++++ stars:)

Jonathon- I just wanted to say I really admire you and your testimony of this gospel. I can't really give u any advice but I would say pray for guidance in what to do(even though u prob already do so) and if your parents won't warm up to the idea, once your 18 you'll be free to do as you please anyway:) Good luck!!!
