It initially shows english then jumps straight in to spanish. This is useless in spanish!!! I’m so sad I can’t use it…it looks like it had great potential. ### 1/5 — Love it!! *2025-01-23, version 3.9.20* Fantastic way to coordinate the scripture Las with modern day prophetic words. I never prepare a lesson or talk without this app! ### 1/5 — Awful Update!!! *2012-10-05, version 2.3.2* I recently updated this app and now it does not shift to landscape!! Plus, try reading anything in portrait while having to scroll right and left! AWFUL update!! ### 2/5 — Useful when it works *2025-08-17, version 3.9.22* Stuck in the Index section. I can’t even access the search box, which makes the whole app useless! ### 2/5 — This app changed for the worse *2025-03-20, version 3.9.20* I would easily give this app 5 stars but in recent months it’s been changed to make it nearly impossible to study the scriptures with. You can no longer swipe left or right to go to the next or previous chapter, but instead have to go back to the book you’re on and select the chapter number (which is incredibly tedious). This is a NEW feature only in the last 6 months or so. WHY DID THIS CHANGE? Please fix this and I’ll gladly give you 5 stars because the search capabilities of this app are AMAZING. No other tool compares… I just want to be able to use it for regular scripture study too. Thanks. ### 3/5 — Navigation Issues *2026-07-19, version 4.0* Please fix the back button navigation. It’s maddening to be deep in a research thread only to click the back button and find yourself at the very beginning again. It makes doing research very frustrating and difficult. ### 3/5 — Great Search Engine *2026-04-02, version 3.9.22* I do enjoy the ease of use and clear responses but I think it’s not super robust and it feels like old technology sort of excel on top of database it could benefit from AI to be able to search concepts not just words it’s way better than nothing and I can use the results to get better depth from ChatGPT ### 3/5 — Not as easy to use as before *2025-04-02, version 3.9.20* Not as functional nor intuitive as previous iterations. ### 3/5 — There used to be support in all available GC talks in Spanish. *2018-12-11, version 3.9.7* I do not know why this possibility is not available. Could you update us about what are your plans regarding additional languages? In my opinion, the possibilities we had before when we acceded through a web browser have been limited instead of improved. It is a great tool but it could be better. Was not it created in BYU? ### 3/5 — Helpful *2012-03-04, version 2.1.7* I'm able to use this sevice when I teach a lesson or I just enjoy reading some of the talks. I have referred this app to some of my friends and they say how much they enjoy the app in their daily life. I appreciate this app ever so much. Simon ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Awesome App *2026-06-29, version 4.0* Such a cool app and so easy to use the only suggestion I have is to have an option like in the gospel library app where you can highlight and take notes. I have to leave the app and find the talk in the gospel library app so I can highlight and take notes but other than that such a cool resource to have! ### 5/5 — Doing the Lord’s work *2026-06-28, version 4.0* Useful, reliable and fantastic gospel study resource ### 5/5 — Best research app ever *2026-06-09, version 3.9.25* This app is so awesome for researching LDS scriptures and conference talks. It makes scripture study more meaningful, and preparing talks much easier. And it’s free!!! A huge shout out and thanks to the developers. ### 5/5 — Great! *2026-05-18, version 3.9.22* You kind find lots of LDS information here. It is organized and easy to understand. Older sermons/talks can be found here as well. ### 5/5 — An Invaluable App *2026-05-17, version 3.9.22* I use this app almost as much as I use the Gospel Library. It is comprehensive and easy to use. It is revealing to see how often some scriptures have been quoted in general conference. It is an invaluable research tool. ### 5/5 — Rich resources *2026-05-13, version 3.9.22* Terrific tool for study ### 5/5 — Improve your learning *2026-05-01, version 3.9.22* What a marvelous edition, to one’s study of the gospel of Jesus Christ. Knowing how scripture is used by those called by God can be an incredible boon to our a higher learning. Imagine how a prophet, seer, and revelator reads,studies, and applies the knowledge found within the sacred writings. For me, this index is an invaluable addition to my study and understanding. ### 5/5 — Amazing *2026-04-06, version 3.9.22* This is an incredible tool for anyone who is interested in diving into the scriptures. I have used it for many years and it has been a treasure for me. ### 5/5 — Very easy to use and an asset that can keep going *2026-04-03, version 3.9.22* Very easy to use. Love it ### 5/5 — The essential study/learning gospel app everyone needs *2026-03-30, version 3.9.22* I love this app when the scripture or talk is on the tip of my tongue but I can’t remember! This app helps me find what I’m looking for every time! 100/10 --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
