LDS Apps, Android Users – Gospel Library
Ok folks, here is the skinny, there are some real nice Android phone/tab apps for you all to consider. The first one I am going to review is Gospel Library. This app was created by the Church, well members of the church. It has a fantastic interface and did I mention it’s FREE?!?!
The official write up is “Gospel Library is an official application from the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints that allows you to study, highlight, and annotate the scriptures on your Android phone. You can also access LDS General Conference, Gospel Principles, and the Old Testament Study Guide”
I use this app all the time, I can get to scriptures very quickly and hymns as well. This is a must have if you have an Android powered device, for me it beats carrying a set of scriptures, I have a little boy to carry.
.
There are other scripture apps out there, most of them come with a fee. Sorry fee guys you are missing a letter r… Free…
LDS Scripture App – comes with a price tag of $14.99 and has many of the same features, plus many more not offered by Gospel Library.
FYI this is also available in the iTunes App store…
So the choice is yours, post a comment and let us know what you think.

If any of you are streaming video geeks like me, this is another one to check out. With your paid Amazon Prime membership, $79 per year, you get free access to some 5,000 videos on demand from Amazon. So fro roughly $6.50 a month you get a few more videos to stream plus free 2

It’s been a month since my home became satellite free. Re-cap, I canceled DirecTV, purchased a Roku, a digital converter box, signed up for Hulu+ and got a faster internet connection. On top of all this we already had a Wii, DVD recorder and a Netflix account. So far it has not been that bad.

No, I’m not talking about giant women… I’m talking about self reliance, well no I’m not talking about that either. What I am getting at is saving some more cash in these financially difficult times. I recently found on Amazon.com a service called Amazon Mom. If you are familiar with “Amazon Prime” this service is very similar except for the

Does the Android Gospel Library come with all the same components as the LDS app I have on my iPod? i.e. manuals, leadership handbook, etc?
