### 1/5 — Blank page

*2024-11-22*

App doesn’t show any content

### 1/5 — Abandonware?

*2024-10-20, version 2.2.4*

No content

### 1/5 — QuirkyCamel

*2024-04-14, version 2.2.4*

Don’t bother downloading. App is clearly not maintained anymore. I was excited to add some convenient supplemental material to scripture study, but the app has zero content. You’ll have to go to bookofmormoncentral website for any of the KnoWhy material.

### 5/5 — Desapareció el contenido.

*2024-03-22, version 2.2.4*

Esta es una App que utilizo mucho, pero no sé qué pasó que ahora no puedo ver ningún contenido. ¿Qué debo hacer?

### 1/5 — No Content

*2024-03-17, version 2.2.4*

This app shows zero content. Whenever I open the app, it gives me the error message “ no articles match filter criteria”. I’ve tried multiple variations of the filters and nothing works. The whole app is a blank. I’ve sent multiple messages requesting assistance and haven’t even gotten a response back. It’s sad because I had heard. This was a pretty good app.

### 5/5 — Love this app

*2020-10-28, version 2.2.4*

This is my favorite app and these are among my favorite people. Although I don’t know of of them personally, they feel like friends. The knowledge and Spirit they share are so valuable to me. I’m so grateful for what they share.

### 3/5 — Good up to a point

*2020-10-28, version 2.2.4*

Why did the app stop after April this year? Otherwise it is super helpful and informative.

### 5/5 — Beautiful daily insight

*2020-02-27, version 2.2.4*

Grateful for another helpful vetted tool. Great for teachers as another voice in understanding.

### 5/5 — Thank you!

*2019-09-04, version 2.2.4*

This app is a life saver.  I teach early morning seminary and Book of Mormon Central has cut my lesson prep time in half.  For other early morning seminary teachers out there, if you are interested, this is how I use this app:  

first I read the scripture block once or twice trying to key in on what the Spirit guides me to prepare.  I usually end up with a few things the Spirit directs to teach as well as few questions about verses I don’t understand and things I am curious about.

Second I read the seminary manual to see if there is content to enhance the blocks of scripture that the Spirit guided me to prepare/teach, answer my questions, and satisfy my curiously (I find that my curiosity is often the Spirit guiding me to something I need to teach or need to learn personally) 

Third I go to Book of Mormon Central to answer remaining questions and to add another layer of knowledge about a specific topic of principle.  I have found that Book of Mormon Central will also boast my confident and enthusiasm for the topics I will teach.  

I try to make sure I’m excited about the content I’m going to teach.  I have found that my excitement transfers to the students and the Spirit is able to touch the students a little easier when they are excited.

### 5/5 — Great Tool!

*2019-02-01, version 2.2.4*

I love this app and use it to supplement my personal study of the Book of Mormon.
