## What is LDS Study Group?

LDS Study Group is a scripture study app which is designed to bring new insights and answers through collaboration with other members of the church. You can ask questions, provide answers, or just browse both. For the gospel scholars out there you can earn achievements for posting great content for the benefit of others. You earn achievements based on how much others like what you write - so lets see what you can do.

Here are some possible uses:

• Gain more insight during personal scripture study than you might have with just your own thoughts. 

• Find thought provoking questions and comments while preparing a lesson.

• Look for answers to a question you have about a topic or scripture.

• Share your gospel knowledge with others, so that we can all be edified together.



Main Features: (available for free)

• Post comments or questions visible by other users based on a verse or multiple verses.

• Read the scriptures along side the questions and comments others have written.

• Respond to questions and comments others have written.

• Rate responses others have given so that the best response to a question shows up first on the list.

• Share thought-provoking comments/questions and responses on Facebook or Twitter.

• Flag users who are posting inappropriate content.

• View the most popular or recent comments/questions across all the scriptures.

• Follow users who you feel like post great content and you want easy access to what they write.

• (optional) Submit your photo and social network links so that those who like what you write can get to know you.

• Earn Achievements for content you post. There are different achievements for the amount of content you post and the quality.



Additional Features: (available with in-app purchase)

• Add content you like to a separate library where you choose the category it goes under. All the categories are created by you so you can organize it in your own way. This is the only content that will be available offline.

• Gain access to the quote library. The quotes in this section are initially provided by the creators of the app, but users can also suggest quotes which can be approved and added.

• Gain access to the object lesson library, with functions similar to the quote library.

• These 3 features are available individually with in-app purchase but you can also get all 3 at a discount, 3 for the price of 2.


Please keep in mind that the content for this app is user generated. It will take time to build up a good amount of content. You can assist with this by posting content of your own. Please help make LDS Study Group a great scripture study community.

If you have any problems with this app please remember this is the first release. Send us an email with any problems you might have before posting a bad review.

### 2/5 — I can’t seem to join

*2022-12-23, version 1.6*

How do I join? It asks for username and email and I use the email I have on my LDS member file and that hasn’t worked and I never created a usernames and doesn’t take me to where I can make one

### 3/5 — Can’t purchase the quotes

*2020-08-23, version 1.6*

When I tap to purchase, the app closes down. I tried all four options, each one separately and the combo option. All did the same thing - shut down the app.

### 1/5 — Can’t get it to work

*2018-11-22, version 1.6*

I can’t this to work so I can use it I have many people at church and the local temple wanting to use it but I can’t seem to get it to let me pay for it

### 5/5 — Increase of understanding

*2018-10-10, version 1.6*

This app has been a great reference to expand and expound my understanding of the scriptures. Sometimes just a simple question that a user has posed, opens up a new thought or dialogue in my mind. So grateful for this added measure of learning, and the brothers and sisters that feast after the words of Christ.

### 4/5 — Great but one thing!

*2018-08-08, version 1.6*

You should make it where you can just have a private group! That way families that are long distance can have their own group and not see all the other comments and such

### 2/5 — Difficulty getting response from app maker

*2017-11-16*

This is a really lovely app, but what it says it can do is not what it can do.
It doesn’t all the user to make notes, highlight, make margin notes or anything. 
It’s very simple and social media based.
It is a perfect app for your normal church goer that doesn’t involve in a much deeper study of the scriptures. Great for people who want only something simple.
I want exactly what I understood it offered.
I’ve tried co texting the app designers but I can’t seem to get a reply back. All I am asking for is a refund.

### 5/5 — Thanks for this forum

*2017-05-20, version 1.6*

I enjoy everyone's comments because it makes me think Thanks

### 5/5 — Staying focused

*2016-10-03, version 1.6*

I love this app. It helps me to sharpen my skills when others can comment on what I write. 😊

### 5/5 — Prompts Additional Thoughts During My Study

*2016-09-03, version 1.6*

This is a great asynchronous way to study the scriptures with other people outside of time and space. :-)

### 5/5 — Wonderful App to Study the Scriptures

*2016-09-01, version 1.6*

I love this app very much. The reason is, you're not alone. If there is something you don't understand, you can ask other people, who study like you, for their opinions. This app has encouraged me to do what I needed to do for a while, which is read consistently.
