It is very interesting to hear it from the perspective of each one speaking. Thanks so very much for this. ### 4/5 — Can you please add a feature for multiple languages showing together *2026-03-01, version 4.11.0* Thank you for your app. But I see a feature at Wedevote Bible really helpful. It can add multiple languages showing together at the same time. I can just check New International or New International Reader’s Version. And the two versions of scripture would show together. ### 4/5 — Dictionary *2026-02-06, version 4.11.0* I love the simplicity of using this app to read the Book of Mormon daily. I only have 3 requests: dictionary, highlighting capabilities, and notes. I think that all users, members of The Church of Jesus Christ as well as individuals not affiliated with the church, would benefit from these additions to the app. Still maintains the simplicity of only access to one book, but allows the user to really appreciate the book more fully. Much like using a blue hard copy, writing in it and highlighting. ### 5/5 — Good. *2026-01-17* I always love feeling the spirit while reading Scripture. **Developer response:** Thanks for the 5-star review! ### 4/5 — So far the best audio reading *2026-01-13, version 4.10.0* I have tried so many times to listen to the BOM but always struggled. This audio is amazing to listen to. ### 5/5 — Nice *2025-12-29* 5 stars ### 5/5 — Best App! *2025-12-18, version 4.10.0* The best mobile place to read the best book! I love all the different ways that you can study, such as the videos and audio in addition to the text. I highly recommend! ### 5/5 — Really Helpful ! *2025-12-13, version 4.10.0* They are really sincere and caring! I would definitely recommend them! ### 5/5 — Fantastic *2025-11-24, version 4.9.0* I love how each person in the Book of Mormon has their own voice when listening. It has made my study more enjoyable for sure ### 5/5 — Nice :) *2025-11-18, version 4.9.0* I really enjoy that each person has their own voice. They are read so passionately too! Love it! ### 5/5 — Great! *2025-11-14, version 4.9.0* This is the word of God. This Book has changed my life 100% would recommend. ### 5/5 — Love the languages side by side *2025-08-28, version 4.9.0* Super useful for language study, so glad you released this! One minor piece of feedback: in Arabic, the font in the translation view is different than the main view. Would be nice if they matched. Love this app! ### 5/5 — Yes! I love this app *2025-08-25, version 4.8.1* Use this app everyday…This Book of Mormon has made my life worth living especially on its hardest days…gives ya hope when you need it most…and it’s free to read!!!! Thank you!!! ### 5/5 — My favorite place to study the Book of Mormon *2025-08-22* I absolutely love this app m, it has become my favorite way to study the Book of Mormon! One thing I especially love is the “listen” feature. The variety of voices used really brings the scriptures to life and makes everything so much easier to understand and connect with. I’ve noticed that many members of the Church primarily use the Gospel Library app to study and listen, but I personally prefer this app because of its unique qualities. I wonder if there might be a way to combine some of the incredible features from this app into the Gospel Library, (especially the audio version specifically found when you go in through the “listen” button) so that even more members could benefit from the things that make this app so amazing. Thank you so much for creating such a powerful and uplifting tool for studying the Book of Mormon! **Developer response:** Thanks for your positive review and feedback! ### 5/5 — the Book of Mormon *2025-08-20* Amazing tool and great for youth,easily accessible and easy to work with. This is Great especially for those not fortunate enough to have Physical copies Of the Book of Mormon or for those who prefer digital for practicality reasons. Thank you to The creators of this app you are truely a blessings and deserve lots of love. **Developer response:** Thanks for your positive review and feedback! ### 5/5 — Great *2025-08-11, version 4.8.1* To understand the Bible, you need the Book of Mormon ### 2/5 — Unclear Interface, as Usual *2025-08-11, version 4.8.1* Thank you for ability to highlight text. Yet typical of Latter-day Saint apps, the interface is unclear, and clarity is everything. We plead, delete the debris — have just the Book, with zero distracting add-on’s. LDS creators love pretty complexity, and bloat. And also smug shrug (they don’t respond). ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Historically inaccurate *2026-06-05, version 4.12.0* This is a work of fiction that has been adopted as a religious text by millions of people. But it is still a work of fiction that is objectively frenetic and disjointed. And, so I came here to PASS on this book and its obvious 1800’s linguistic anachronisms. ### 1/5 — Inaccurate *2026-04-28, version 4.11.0* 0 stars for Joseph Smith. The Book of Mormon is false, look to the Bible for the true words of the one true God ### 1/5 — Jesus Christ *2026-03-27, version 4.11.0* Jesus Christ ### 1/5 — Vão ler uma bíblia. *2025-06-18* Heresia atrás de heresia. ### 1/5 — Fake News *2025-01-16* Me ofereceram um “presente”… mas na verdade não quiseram me entregar, nem enviar pelos correios. Queriam que eu fosse buscar. Simplesmente pelo fato de não morar em metrópole Ficaria mais barato comprar um livro na Amazon. E o meu presente? Como fica??! App relativamente bom. Cheio de coisas pra não induzir o consumo da leitura. De início foi difícil achar o conteúdo do livro. Principalmente a mim que tem dificuldade com a tecnologia. Existe uma concorrência dentro do próprio app que te induz a ir pra outros caminhos e remove o foco doque realmente precisa ser consumido, ou doque realmente é o conteúdo, ou seja, o livro. ### 1/5 — Need context bigger *2024-12-11* To whom this may concern can we get something so that We can make the context bigger 😢 **Developer response:** Thank you for your feedback! Can you put this request in the app's feedback form (found in Settings)? ### 1/5 — Very concerning *2024-12-09, version 4.6.0* It’s a very racist book that clearly plagiarized the kjv errors and 1800s racist mythology. ### 1/5 — Misleading *2024-12-07* At first glance, it seems like a great source for more learning of Jesus Christ. However, this book seems to be plagiarized from the Bible in several places and teaches a gospel that sounds good, but ultimately dismisses what Jesus Himself taught, as well as the original apostles. The racism mentioned periodically is odd and offensive. A thoughtful analysis of this book presents a problem for the modern LDS church since the doctrines taught within it doesn’t seem to line up with what modern leaders are teaching. One star for being a false gospel that is presented as historical truth, but four stars if considered a fictional story (it would be better if all of the different “authors” of the sections had distinct voices) ### 1/5 — Where’s Joseph Smith? *2024-12-05* It deeply saddens me that in this edition of the Book of Mormon, the Church has significantly altered the presentation of the Prophet Joseph Smith’s original testimony. Rather than honoring its traditional place at the forefront of the book, it has been relegated to the appendix, where it is diluted—reduced to a Church-written explanation with only fragments of the Prophet’s own words. What has happened to his full testimony? Even more troubling is the change to the introduction, which no longer includes Joseph’s powerful declaration that the *Book of Mormon* is “the most correct book.” Why has his voice been diminished? The Prophet Joseph Smith is mentioned only briefly, and only at the very end of the introduction—and even there, he is not referred to explicitly as a prophet. These redactions are perplexing and disheartening. The Book of Mormon would not exist without the Prophet Joseph Smith, whose divine calling brought it forth through translation by the gift and power of God. Are these changes an attempt by the Church to distance itself from the man who restored this work to the world? If so, why? What message does this send about the role of the Prophet Joseph Smith in the foundation of our faith? ### 1/5 — This app is very confusing *2024-10-12, version 4.5.1* I opened it up without any context and clicked on the main picture box My Study which took me to absolutely nothing. Then I clicked on Illustrated which took me to a kids book? I would like to see a picture of Jesus as the first picture with an icon that says start reading. The navigation is just so confusing especially for people opening the app for the first time ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — A daily app for me😃 *2026-05-08, version 4.12.0* I love this app! One of my favorite features is the verse a day. There is always time to read just one verse a day👍🏼 ### 5/5 — Holiness in and out *2026-05-07* Ver helpful and a holy book of Jesus Christ, I know that Holy Spirit will prevail in your as you read this book. ### 5/5 — Another testament of Of Jesus Christ! *2026-04-28, version 4.11.0* I received a testimony of the truthfulness of this book at the age of 15. I’m so grateful to have this book as a second witness of the fact that Jesus is the Christ and is the only way back to the father. Jesus is the way, truth and the life. The Bible and Book of Mormon are the word of God! ### 5/5 — Side-by-side Languages *2026-04-17* It would be great for people learning languages, like missionaries and others, or for bilingual people to be able to have two languages open side-by-side in the app. It would be similar to many bible apps that allow you to read the KJV alongside another version like the English Standard Version (ESV) or even the Reina Valera to get English and Spanish side by side. Please send in this suggestion! ### 5/5 — Love this app, but videos are missing! *2026-04-15, version 4.11.0* I use this daily, but as of today, April 15th, my videos tab has disappeared! Me and my son :( I hope it’s a bug, or temporary, but I wanted to find out why. Hopefully the developer will see this and let me know. Still a great app! ### 5/5 — Very Nice *2026-04-06, version 4.11.0* Very Nice ### 5/5 — This IS the word of God *2026-03-30, version 4.11.0* I fully believe that the Book of Mormon is Gods word and that Joseph Smith translated it as Gods prophet. ### 5/5 — Jesus-Christ *2026-03-29* Je sais qu’il vit et qu’il a donné sa vie pour me sauver Il est le fils de Dieu ### 5/5 — Also in other languages *2026-03-25, version 4.11.0* Apprezzo molto il sentimento di calma e connessione che provo quando mi dedico a momenti quieti col Libro di Mormon in Utaliano. ### 5/5 — Charleston White did it from YouTube university and other social media platforms *2026-03-12, version 4.11.0* Hello, I’d like to send my apologies for some reviews that were posted on the website using my name. I deeply apologize as that was not my intentions and not of my words as I understand children also read these reviews but I also have a daughter and family as well who were affected by this as well. Please again accept my apology in knowing that these were posted by someone impersonating religion as satire comedy and I would never purposely leave a review on that manner. ~My deepest apologies~ --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
