![]() You have to repeat the process every time you advance a chapter. Yes you can manually change the size of the text in tools but that only works for that one chapter. ![]() Yes it provides more content on one page but that content is too small and difficult to use. Now the text is small and harsh and goes to the far extreme of both sides of the screen (where are the margins?). It was pleasing to the eyes and made for not only a great tool but also a pleasing experience. The last font, spacing and layout was very well done from an aesthetic point of view. (Content updates will continue for the foreseeable future.The thing I liked best about using this app to study over my hard copy of the scriptures was the experience I had when scrolling through the text. If you're on iOS 11 and up, your device will run the latest version of Gospel Library.(Content updates will continue for the foreseeable future.) If you're on iOS 10 and up, your device will run Gospel Library 5.1.1.(No longer receiving content updates after March 2019.) If you're on iOS 9 and up, your device will run Gospel Library 4.4.0.If you're on iOS 6.1 and up, your device will run Gospel Library 3.4.13.(No longer available, and not receiving content updates.) If you're on iOS 3.1.3 and up, your device will run Gospel Library 2.5.0.If you're on iOS 3 and up, your device will run Gospel Library 2.0.3.Newer devices will almost always provide a smoother experience and will last farther into the future.įor historical reference, these are the iOS versions where support has changed: iOS 11 is the minimum supported iOS version for most Church apps, and any device that supports iOS 11 is able to update to iOS 12. I wouldn't recommend any iOS version below iOS 12. ![]() If you are considering purchasing an iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch to use Gospel Library or other Church apps, check the iOS version. We know that transitions are difficult and we hope that you will be able to continue growing in faith through consistent gospel study, no matter your circumstance. If you don't have a smart device at all, the Church continues to provide scriptures and other core content in print format. If you are on an older device, you can access the newest content by browsing LDS.org, by downloading PDFs to your device, or using an e-book reader. The Church doesn't require members to use the newest technology to study the gospel – Gospel Library is provided as a tool for those who are able to benefit from it. If your device doesn't support the newest Gospel Library, don't feel obligated to buy a new device. The Church is a continual target for those who want to do harm, so keeping security standards up to date, while it provides inconvenience at times, protects the Church and its members. Older versions of Android and iOS don't support the latest security standards, so they are no longer able to authenticate with the Church's servers for sign-in, annotation sync, or role-based content. For example, recently the Church servers were updated to newer security protocols ( to TLS 1.2). In addition to content format changes, sometimes changes are made on the Church servers that prevent older devices from establishing a connection. For a little while, as users transition from the old version of the app to the new, the content team produces both (continuing the analogy) a PowerPoint and a Word file of each content item, but eventually, the old file type is phased out to focus resources on providing more and better content in the new format. The new format allows us to do more, but is not compatible with the old app. As an analogy, you can think of this as switching content from PowerPoint files to Word files. The content format used by the app changes with major app releases to support new features. Only the newest versions of Gospel Library will continue to receive the newest content (new general conferences, magazines, devotionals, curriculum, editions of the scriptures, etc.). Unfortunately, as mobile ecosystems change, it's impossible to continually improve the app while supporting older devices indefinitely. Availability of Church content is a priority for those who support the Gospel Library app.
