I am so pleased with this app! It is WELL worth the $15! I am also pleased that you are still improving it by adding content and functionality! Thanks and keep up the GREAT work!
I have downloaded the scriptures 1.0 on my iPhone and everthing worked great. I then saw that there was an update 1.0.1 for scriptures. I tried downloading that on my iphone. An error message shows up that says "unable the download application. Scriptures will be available for download when you log in to the iTunes store on your computer"
I then went to my itunes to download it, and it downloaded fine, but when I try syncing it, it says " The application "scriptures" was not installed on the iphone "John Doe's iPhone" because an unknown error occurred (0xE800002E)
I contacted apple service and support, wiped the program on my iPhone and mac and tried installing again, tried installing just on my mac, then just on my iPhone. I restarted my mac and iPhone and tried again. Anything I try, it does not work
Apple directed me to this website, so I hope I can find the solution to my problem. I already reluctantly spent 15 bucks for the application, I just want it to work.
I know you've turned landscape off for now. However, in both portrait and landscape (but especially landscape) it would great if you could "pinch" or expand the screen and change the size of the font and REFLOW the text so that it is readable.

We're still working on bookmarks, highlighting, and notes, but we'll release them as soon as we finish them. We also have some exciting new content to add in the next week or so!
1. Hymn 193, verse 2 has a typo. "pride" should be "proud".
2. Topical guide: links to the bible don't work
3. Cross references: Sometimes a cross reference will list a scripture but when selected, it sends me to a different scripture. When I return, the original cross reference is gone and the scripture where I was sent is now listed. This new link works.
4. When following a cross reference, the linked scritpures no longer have cross references enabled
5. Some links from the TG are not highlighted in the scriptures. Example, Hailstones in the TG links to D&C 43:25. However when I select D&C 43:25 from the main menu, hailstones is not highlighted.
I downloaded the new version on my iPhone last night, and now the app doesn't work. What can I do to get it going again? When I touch the icon for "Scriptures" it starts to open up but only gets to a screen with a black bar on the top and lines crossing the page. then it goes back to the iPhone main screen.
I downloaded the newest update. I really appreciate the work that has gone into the application so far. I am also looking forward to what I read is coming.
I have a question regarding the new footnotes and cross references. When I access my first cross reference in a chapter everything works well. I can read the definition or I can jump to the cross reference. ( Will we ever be able to go from the the cross reference to reference from that page - a scripture chain?)
If I attempt a subsequent cross reference from the original chapter - the window either opens blank or with the information related to the original reference. I have to exit the chapter and go back in to get the new information. Is there a trick or something I am missing?
In the list view for the D&C 1-20, Section 4 and Section 5 both show ">br>" tags in the section heading preview. It'd probably look better if those were replaced with some white space or a "$nbsp;" if it'll read it.
I haven't checked elsewhere, but I assume it's showing up in other spots as well.
The cost for the apps are $14.99 to offset the cost of paying the developer, my time, and future features. Please also note that Apple takes 30% of the cost of the application.
I have purchased this product with the hopes of some of these future UPDATES implemented - bookmarks, etc. It has been quite awhile - is this really going to happen? or do many need a discount credited back to them?
Thanks
I don't see settings, that is my problem, however, I do like the app and am glad I bought it before the free one came out because there is so much more content. Other two problems, one, it's gotten slower, and I thought it was slow to begin with, two, landscape mode is gone.
I would like to see in the Scriptures app a full JST translation of the bible along with the JST footnote etc, and the KVJ version of the Bible I think that would be Awesome!! I think you guys are doing wonderfully on your app too.
First off, thanks for doing this app and getting it posted so soon. Here are some suggestions from a heavy mobile scriptures user:
- Swipe left or right to move back or forward a chapter (alternately you could put a button in the menu bar but the swipe would be a lot cooler)
- Remembering the verse if you leave the application and return
- Someone suggested sticky chapters/verses, perhaps a back/fwd button to take you to the last few places
- Make the home bar at the bottom fade away and re-appear with a tap on the screen
- Bookmarks
- Highlights
- Annotations in the text (leaving a little icon or something in the text)
- Searchable favorites, with hyperlinks
- Footnotes
I do not have an iPhone or iTouch, but I use my friends "Scripture" application all the time... I love it. Is there any other device or place where I could download the same software so I would be able to use it?
I downloaded the app a few days ago. It worked fine for a day or two, and now it opens, but stops at the gold plates screen and returns to the home screen. I've restarted my phone and that didn't help. Don't know how to erase the app and re-download it or I'd try that. Help please.
