LDS Apps, Android Users – LDS Tools
Feb 16th
My last review was on the Gospel Library app for Android. The Church did a fantastic job with it and true to form brought us another awesome app. LDS Tools, and I am not talking about those guys that play basketball every week in the cultural hall… (sorry guys) LDS Tools is a powerful way to keep track of people in your ward and stake. Need to know who is in charge of Primary in the other ward? Look no further. You need to be able to log into the church website to be able to use this app. What it does is pull the entire Stake directory into your phone for easy search and use. It keeps addresses, phone numbers and E-mail addresses all at your finger tips. This information is all available on the church website behind passwords you need your membership # to long in. Have no fear it’s not publicly accessible.
An alternative to this program is Ward Central. It works in pretty much the same way, it is more Ward based. There is another version called Stake Central which is just that more Stake oriented. Both are Free (now).
FYI this is also available in the iTunes App store…
Please post your comments and thoughts.

LDS Apps, Android Users – Gospel Library
Feb 15th
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.
