Scripture Plus is a Come Follow Me study app designed to help Latter-day Saints and others get more out of their scripture study. Users can read all the scriptures in the Standard Works, with commentaries, videos, historical settings, and more, linked directly into the text. Users can also study the Church's Come, Follow Me curriculum using convenient and simple Reading Plans to complete your Doctrine and Covenants goals. The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints has licensed Book of Mormon Central to use the 2013 edition of the Latter-day Saint scriptures in this mobile app. The ScripturePlus study panel includes commentaries, bios of main characters, 360 tours of Church History locations, videos, images, charts, KnoWhy articles, quotations from General Authorities and reliable scholars, multiple editions of the scriptures, and more. Many more technical features and content types are contemplated in future releases. We hope you find this app rewarding and spiritually invigorating. It facilitates pondering God’s word in a rich digital environment that builds enduring faith in Jesus Christ by making Latter-day Saint scriptures, particularly the Book of Mormon, accessible, comprehensible, and defensible to the entire world. The scriptures are peerless and eternal. The enrichment material is curated to help you seek learning out of the best books by study and by faith.

FamilySearch International uses sophisticated scanning technology to find ancestor names in historical records. Most of the time the computer can recognize the correct name. But it can’t always get it right. Using FamilySearch Get Involved, anyone can quickly review names in historical records and verify what the computer found or flag any errors. Each name that gets corrected is a person that can now be found by their living family.
