The Scriptures - LDS Standard Works app good for
Better than $cientology....Must have...but do not want...google is your friend
Try it. Cant beat the price. I love reading to the night reading feature.
Awesome app looks very cool fliping threw pages also has bookmarks and if you press near the left side of the screen you can skip chapters
I read other folks reviews about this app before i bought it and they all were negative, saying its hard to navigate. And I thought to myself "oh those people must be old and not know what they are talking about" and i was right. Its not hard to navigate at all, so i dont know what the other people were smoking when they wrote the review.
Some bad moments
I would like a refund...The app never worked, immediately crashes after it is opened.
The transitions are good ideas and the sun menu idea is kinda neat but they are very slow. It is too sluggish and buggy to be a good reference app. I hope it is updated to speed things up and make it more clean and quick.
Im not sure the developers motivation in creating a clunky, new interface for reading on the iPhone, but this is simultaneously slow, distracting, and difficult to use. After a few minutes of trying to navigate to a particular scripture -- and being unable to do so -- I gave up.
The problem is the "page turning" metaphor rather than the "long scroll" as is used by every other version of the scriptures Ive seen. With this app, itll take significantly longer to get to a particular verse if, for instance, you wanted to find the scripture mentioned by your Gospel Doctrine teacher. That is, if you can get the interface to let you get there at all.
Kudos for the developer trying something new, but, alas, it doesnt work.
I downloaded this because it was free (at the time) and to see how it compared to other interfaces of the scriptures. Frankly, it was slow and very cluncky feeling. Slow to load, slow to navigate, and a UI that just didnt work for me. The scriptural text is there, yes, BUT there are no chapter headings or section headings. There are no foot notes or any of the reference sections. I deleted this one after about 5 minutes of use simply because there are much better free options out there.
I guess it was ok. It was pretty glitchy and it took a while to learn how to use and even then it definatly was not worth money. Dont buy this!!!!!!!
I did some reading and turned off my phone (power button) just like I do with most of my apps. Took my phone out a couple of hours later... It was hot and the battery was almost dead. Unlike the good Samaritan, it left me by the roadside almost dead. No other app I have does that.
Bookmarks are also terrible. Cant update a bookmark, you just have to delete it and save a new one.
