### 4/5 — Editing personal study plan

*2026-03-11*

I really like the app, but I haven’t found a way to edit the study plan, like even if you want to change the time to get your reminder. You always have to recreate a new study plan, plus you have to go in and take out whatever you’ve either already done or already read.  Otherwise, I like it.

### 4/5 — Quiz

*2024-10-06, version 4.1.0*

I had been using the app to learn the Articles of Faith. In the recent update, the quiz now shows the verse number making the quiz utterly useless.

### 4/5 — Love the app/1 issue though

*2024-09-06*

When I try to add my content from the gospel Scriptures app and follow the steps and I go back to the doctrine mastery app the content I copied and shared with it isn’t there and I’ve done it multiple times. I would love it if this feature got fixed! Thank you so much!!

### 3/5 — Please fix

*2024-06-03*

I love this app! I especially loved the ‘My Content’ feature that allowed me to add notes from my gospel library app to this one. It hasn’t worked since the last update. I have searched for other apps that might help me memorize Gospel Library content but none of them work nearly as well as this one plus they are all super expensive. Please continue to support and improve this app! It’s not just good for seminary students. It is great for all of us that want help memorizing scriptures. I had added tons of content and then lost it all in an attempt to fix this app by deleting it and reinstalling it.

I want to use this app to help me memorize the living Christ and tons more wonderful verses and quotes from the brethren.

### 3/5 — My content is missing?

*2024-05-09, version 4.0.3*

I can no longer add my content. I love this app but am super disappointed.

### 3/5 — Love the app, but a huge bug has appeared

*2024-04-28*

The "my content" feature no longer works. Been like this for a number of months. It's a GREAT feature that really helps memorization/study of verses that aren't part of the pre-selected curriculum. The app, as much as I appreciate it, is just so much more limited without that function. 

I'm begging the developer to address this issue.

### 3/5 — Please fix

### 3/5 — “My Content” doesn’t work

*2024-03-13, version 4.0.3*

This app works great to practice the prescribed verses but I cannot add my own content even though the app says that you can.

Please please fix this so I can import verses from Gospel Library.

### 4/5 — Please fix the ‘my content’ bug.

*2024-02-15*

I have submitted feedback in the app but have not received responses. I love this app for memorizing verses!  I especially love being able to share content from gospel library to this app, but that feature has been broken since the last update. Please fix. That is my favorite feature.

### 3/5 — I love this app!  Please fix the “my content” feature

*2024-02-09*

I absolutely adore this app. It has helped me learn verses and even bring in some of my own verses. But now the “my content” feature doesn’t work. That’s my favorite part!  Please fix!  I have submitted a couple feedback requests and no response.

### 4/5 — Really nice to have but missing the key phrases

*2024-01-18, version 4.0.3*

This is a great app to have for me and my seminary students. Just wondering why it doesn’t include the option to study with the key scripture phrases, only includes the entire scripture?

### 4/5 — “My Content” Bug

*2024-01-18*

There is a bug that has appeared recently that makes it so I am unable to add new verses into the “My Content” section. I’ve used this app before to memorize things like my Patriarchal Blessing, but now I am unable to add new content either from the Gospel Library app or from any other source. The “+” button to add new content just redirects you to the Library app, and “sharing” content to this app doesn’t do anything.

I hope this review is seen and this bug can be fixed. This may have just been a simple little app, but it was very useful for memorizing scriptures! I would very much like to be able to use it again. :)

### 5/5 — Awesome- add Apple Watch and api Connection to Library notes

*2023-12-25*

Would be awesome if you could have this app available on Apple Watch. (See the Flashcards by NKO apple watch app - its excellent).

Also, it would be awesome if you could connect to my lds library app and automatically make scripture Flashcards out of any scripture I’ve highlighted, grouped by the tags I’ve already given them. With the option of having any personal notes I’ve made added to the bottom of the scripture text. I already do this using the Flashcards by NKO app, but it’s super cumbersome (copy and paste into a different flashcard app (that i can use my pc to copy/paste), then import onto NKO on my iPhone and then update to my Apple Watch in the NKO app… Every time I add a scripture.

### 3/5 — Adding in scriptures

*2023-12-20, version 4.0.3*

I do live this app and wish that this was around when I was in high school but I was wondering if there is a way to add other scriptures to it in helping memorize them

### 5/5 — Absolutely fantastic

*2023-11-03, version 4.0.3*

Whoever developed this app deserves a batch of homemade cookies and a pat on the back.

After struggling to remember scripture references for years, this app has helped me memorize every doctrinal mastery passage word for word. 

My seminary teacher actually tried to change the rules of our doctrinal mastery review game so that I wouldn’t completely obliterate the rest of the class every time. 

That doesn’t stop me though :)

### 1/5 — My content doesn’t work

*2024-08-03, version 4.0.3*

My content doesn’t work. Can’t add anything to memorize outside of what’s already in there. Sad day.

### 1/5 — Cool

*2023-09-05*

Had to download for seminary not used yet very good

### 1/5 — so much jesus

*2023-08-22, version 4.0.1*

there was so much jesus i practically exploded with joy, 1 star for making me so happy

### 1/5 — Doctrinal mastery

*2022-09-09*

This app is not that good I get up at 6:30 every morning and I just want to sleep and not want to go to school and do seminary

### 1/5 — Scripture altered by Mormons

*2019-10-09, version 3.0.1*

This is not the Bible, this is Mormon alterations of scripture.

### 1/5 — Cadê o português??

*2015-01-07*

Fiquei triste por não encontrar a versão em Português mais. Meu filho decorou todas as regras de fé em português por causa desse aplicativo. 
O que aconteceu com essa nova versão que nem o português nem o espanhol aparecem????

### 2/5 — Can’t share from Gospel Library app

*2022-06-15*

I want to memorize specific scriptures from Preach My Gospel and it says to share from the Library app. There is no option in the share menu for D. Mastery. I’ve gone through my phone/app settings and tried to add this to my share menu but this app isn’t among the choices. I’ve checked my Library settings as well. I used to be able to just copy/paste from the Library app. Please bring back that feature or make it possible to link this to the Library for sharing.

### 2/5 — Needs work

*2022-01-04*

I used this app a couple of years ago to memorize The Living Christ. It was a fantastic app, very easy to use, and it helped me achieve my goal. I don’t know what happened…there must have been an update but the app was not improved. In fact, it is much worse, has many bugs, and is more difficult to use. I can’t add scriptures from gospel library unless it is a link from something else like a footnote that opens in the sidebar; and even then, it just copies and pastes it. It doesn’t do the memorization feature where you can take away the words like with the passages already on there. This app is pretty good if you only care about the scripture masteries but as a graduated seminary student, I am looking for other content and the “my content” section needs some work. Also, side note, the scripture mastery lists on there are outdated, and they have since updated a lot of the scriptures, so it may be helpful to change that as well. Overall, this used to be a great app, and I think it can be once again, but your developers need to get to work. I will happily use it when that happens!

### 3/5 — Not improved

*2024-10-10*

I like the bigger font, but I used to use whether the words were hidden or revealed to keep track of where I was in the list. Now revealing the words in one scripture, reveals all. How am I to know which one I studied last? A very frustrating change.

### 3/5 — Need help being able to add content

*2024-07-06, version 4.0.3*

Please fix this feature.

### 5/5 — so good

*2025-09-04, version 4.1.1*

amazing

### 5/5 — Great!

*2025-05-12*

I really like the app for seminary.  I use it to help my students learn and refresh.  The only hiccup is the quiz section.  It shows the verse number with the scripture, which makes the multiple choice much easier to guess :)

### 5/5 — EZ DUB

*2025-03-17, version 4.1.0*

Great, helps my students learn. (Students chose title for review)

### 5/5 — I love this app! I can add scriptures again!!

*2024-10-06*

This has been such an amazing app for me! I’ve been so happy to be able to use it to memorize the most important scriptures for me. I was so dismayed when I was no longer able to add new content and often frustrated that I could not remove a scripture that I added (or added twice) by mistake. It’s fixed and I’m delighted! Go to my content tab, touch on the edit pencil, and there it is!Thanks so much!!!

### 5/5 — Epicccc

*2024-09-24*

This app helped my mom deliver her 2nd and 4th children. When she didn’t feel like going on I read her the doctrinal mastery’s that I memorized and that gave her the strength she needed. Please download and leave an epic review.
