Das Buch Mormon

I love the simplicity of this app! It makes read on the go possible but more its just handy!

Great app!

Man, do I love this book. It changed my life. I love this handy little app that gives me the chance to take it around with me in my pocket and read through it easily. Each book, section and scripture are easy to locate and it is a very simple layout. Thank you for making this app!

Truth.

By humbling yourself to God, reading this book with deep intent, and asking God if it is true, you will know it is true by the power of the Holy Ghost. I testify that this book is true and will change your life.

Flawed

When I found this I was very excited to try it on my long commute and various car rides during the day. I was soon to be very disappointed with the entire thing except the fact that you can change the language. Every time I close and restart the app it loads the chapter where I left off. That would be great, except when the audio plays it automatically starts back at the introduction even though the screen shows the chapter loaded where I left off. This is incredibly frustrating. Even if I re-select that same chapter, the audio starts to play the introduction yet again. I have to skip to another chapter and then go back to the chapter I want for it to finally load that chapter and play it properly. This is just a huge waste of time and unnecessary. I cant believe there isnt a setting to control this or an option to resume or select a new chapter when the app opens. Further the app has been extremely glitchy with the new iOS update and closes in the middle of a chapter reading quite frequently. Once again when I reopen the app it starts all the way back at the introduction and I have to go through that same annoying process. I thought maybe it was an issue with cellular signal, so I tried it with wifi and have had the same problem. On top of that I couldnt imagine a more annoying female voice that reads the chapter headings and intros. Not sure what that tone or expression is she is trying to add to make herself sound more spiritual or insightful but it is not easy on the ears and needs a change. However the voice for the actual scripture narrator in each chapter is easy listening, and a good tone and pace. Its back to paper scriptures and my fm radio in the car. So long worthless BOM app until you are fixed.

4 stars for the gospel-1 star for the app crashing

I love the fact this is available for download and Ive received much enjoyment listening to and reading along with it, that being said...this app crashes constantly. I pray they fix it soon.

great idea but crashes

love the way it looks but crashes constantly on my iPhone and doesnt remember where it was.

iPhone 6 Plus dont have a play button

I just upgraded to the iPhone 6 Plus and noticed that the app dont have a play button to read to you like it did on my iPhone 5. I deleted it and re-download it, and it still isnt there. Other than that, its a solid app. I would also like to see it include the doctrine and covenants, and the pearl of great price included to make this a complete set.

App is constantly crashing

The Book is true BUT Im unable to enjoy it with this app. Keeps crashing. Ive uninstalled... Reinstalled... Please fix bugs. The 3 stars are cause the book is true... The app right now is not operational.

Anachronistic bible fanfiction

App content leads to extremely expensive in-app purchases given as donations to a company called Intellectual Reserve Inc. Based in Salt Lake City. Content is derivative text containing large sections of the King James Bible. Text also condones and celebrates the beheading of local magistrates in retribution for property rights disputes, ordained and demanded by a middle eastern derived Deity. And this was in the first few chapters. Racism, a thoroughly male focus and overt prosperity gospel pap plaster the remaining chapters. There is a redeeming quality though. From a purely anthropological standpoint this text is excellent at condensing post enlightenment hand waving and American racial bias.

False and Deceiving

This book is false, teaching a false doctrine. The description needs some fixing. There is only 1 book of God and thats the Bible. People, do not be deceived.

App Crashing

This book is true, but the app is crashing, please fix this, Thank You so much! -liam

Great app! Only one suggestion—add a continuous play feature so it will read out loud from chapter to chapter without the need to tap the play button after each chapter.

Wonderful book and app

I love using this app! The only thing I wish it had is the ability to highlight the scriptures like in the gospel library app.

Subpar satirical piece.

This Bible fanfiction is uncreative and generally mind numbing. In attempts to brainwash you Joseph Smith also made the mistake of making up totally unrealistic stories in a world he "claims" to be true. But dont worry, this is a mean review and because Im not being nice Joseph Smith and Brigham Young wont let my husband (whom I should be subservient to) become God of his own planet and I will never know the pleasure of me and my sister wives (oh, wait God "changed his mind" after it was outlawed) become his adoring moons. Makes a decent read if you enjoy satire.

Content A+, App code C-

I listen to this book often. The app cant handle landscape mode. Anytime you pause and step away for a few days and come back it plays half the chapter and starts to play from the BOM intro. :(

Opens great, audio quit playing

Audio on the BOM app quit playing last few days and dont know how to get it back. I have internet (and wifi) yet it doesnt load.

Disapointed

This app doesnt open no matter how many times Ive tried to. I was exited that I found an audio version but now it wont work!

Keeps kicking me out!

No matter how many times I try the app wont let me in! It keeps kicking me out before I can even get into the app!

Great App

I love this app. I love that I can read and listen to the Book of Mormon in multiple languages. It works great for me as long as I am connected to Wi-Fi.

Good app, but needs bugs fixed.

I love having the Book of Mormon available in other languages and have been practicing reading them, but Ive had a few troubles. 1. Some chapters wont scroll down, so I can only read the first few verses in that chapter. 2. When listening to the Spanish audio it always starts from the introduction of the book rather than where you left off or which chapter you are currently open to. Then every time you listen again you have to skip to where you want to read/listen. This can be annoying when you get farther along in the book. Even with these problems I would recommend the app, and would love to see German and French audio added in the next update.
