Deseret Bookshelf LDS Books

Wonderful app, I think it would be great if the reading plan would take into account how far one would have gone into the reading and suggest the minimum number of pages to read to reach the milestones.

As a Mormon, I naturally lean towards this app to provide additional church literature to the well known Gospel Library. Although this app does great work of that to some degree, much needed "under the hood" bug fixes are needed to keep the performance seamless and less laggy. On a personal front, I find the layout and UI very confusing and hard to understand and could be very overwhelming to a new user to the app, possibly even making it unusable. I would love to see a do over for this app, as I do not enjoy second guessing whether or not I want to use this app for my next study session. Clean, uncluttered, no layering, single topic focused pages with a simple menu drop down to direct you to other categories of content or ebooks. The colors are great but the app UI is simply too busy and layered to have a quick read around.

I love using it, but I also feel it would be a complete app if I can use it offline....

A great app, that enables purchase of good books! I enjoy it because it links well with the IPhone dictionaries

I love this app!!! I am going blind and it’s harder to read…. But being able to listen to books is amazing and is such a blessing. Books are always awesome.love love love this app!

This app used to be great, but no longer seems to support playback while your device is locked. Like sometimes it will work, but sometimes it won’t. This has happened with the last few books I have listened to, so it’s been going on for at least two months. I tried to contact app support, but the link takes you to a page that no longer exists. Fix this feature and I will love the app again.

Can’t seem to get through to the creators of this app. Have had lots of trouble with it and keeping my account open. I try to purchase an annual membership which is advertised at 69 bucks a year then go to pay and it’s 99 bucks a year. I love the material/content but the customer service is getting progressively worse! I’m going to keep trying but if you want a better review you’re going to have to email me back and get my account information back to where it was!

Had to drop a star because the last update no longer supports a split view and iOS. I love to read my e-commentary book along with my e-scriptures so I can make notes in my scriptures. It is much easier to do in split view. Please bring split view back!

Great reader and audiobook functionality! Very user friendly. One thing that needs improvement is that when listening to audio books/talks/etc., when I receive texts or other notifications, the book or talk does not pause when my digital assistant announces the text or notification. Having the audio pause when notifications come in is something I am used to with other apps, and it is a really nice feature that allows me to pick up where I left off and not have to find where I was, especially when text threads interrupt every few moments. :) I would love to see that feature implemented in this app as well.

I would love to give this app 5 stars, but the tech is too frustrating. Searching is so difficult. Why can’t I see all of the author’s books in a list? Instead I have to search by title. I don’t know all the titles by an author. But the so freezes ALL the time. I used to have to delete and reinstall a few times a year. Then about once a month. For the past year I’ve had to reinstall it about 2-3x a month. Now it’s getting to be about every 2-3 days!!! I don’t think my phone is the problem. It’s a new 14 I’m going to start leaving a1 star review entering I have to reinstall it. Hopefully it will get someone’s attention. If you look at the other 1 star reviews, they have the same problems. Update: Now that I’ve deleted the all and reinstalled it, it won’t let me download a book!!! So frustrating. I can’t even find a number for support. Update: the tech support page said there’s an error. They don’t even exist. No wonder the app functionality is so bad!!!!
