Seriously!
We need a Windows 8 version of Gospel Library!
New Member
My understanding is that it is being worked on - just internal to Church IT not as a Community Project

You might want to review the thread Any efforts for Windows 8 applications?
Questions that can benefit the larger community should be asked in a public forum, not a private message.

Amen to that. I have been using a W8 tablet, and I love it. To have the Gospel Library and LDS Tools apps available would be fantastic!

I just purchased an acer tablet that has a windows 8 pro operating system. It there a way to download gospel library and LDS tools on to this tablet?

There are no apps, however you can create web shortcuts to your Start page.

There are some unofficial apps. Search for LDS in the Windows store.

There is only one Windows 8 app, which is LDS Pages. It just has the scriptures only.

My Surface Pro cries out for an offline gospel library that synchronizes with my lds.org account.

Until the church catches up to speed, you can use BlueStacks on your Surface Pro as a workaround. It will emulate an Android OS and allow you to download and run all the LDS apps currently available in the Android Play store.jrbaumgardner wrote:My Surface Pro cries out for an offline gospel library that synchronizes with my lds.org account.
A caution for others reading, BlueStacks does NOT support Win RT devices (yet).

Have you tried Bluestacks yet? I tried on my desktop pc, and it works, but is a little kludgy. Feels very very beta, but I can't speak to the Surface version.

Bluestacks worked great for Gospel Library on my Surface Pro!
New Member
Bluestacks worked until the May update of intel hd 4000 9.17.10.3062 driver that was part of May Microsoft patches. This is discussed in the Bluestacks support pages. Still looking at options.
New Member
Please work on Windows 8 Pro version. Bluestacks has died! Gospel Library needs to be able to run on a Surface Pro without using a third party software like bluestacks.

Patience is a virtue! Looks like it supports both Win 8 and RT.jkentner wrote:The Gospel Library is out in the Windows Store now, it works great!

The LDS Gospel Library app for Windows 8 actually does already exist. It's buggy, feature-deprived, and hasn't been updated even once since its initial release several months ago, and rather appears like the app's development has basically been aborted, but it does exist and it is available.Would love a windows 8 tablet version of LDS Scriptures and other apps...

Win 8 Gospel Library works well. Does anyone have any idea when the log in / synch with lds account will happen to allow us to synch with the scripture notes / annotations etc associated with our lds account?
