How do you change user accounts?

I just got an ipad 2. My son loaded the gospel library app and logged into his account. It won't let me log into another account. Does it not allow multiple accounts? I'm a mormon....I got lots of kids that use this device and I would rather all there markings be on there account not mine....please help.

From the Main Library screen select settings in the bottom left corner, in the settings menu select the user name at the top of the menu then click Sign Out

What do you mean by "won't let me log into another account"? What happens when you try?

I don't have an iPad, but on my Android version of Gospel Library, if I want to switch accounts, I have to Sign Out first. Then I can sign in with another account. I just tried it, and it worked fine -- once I signed in with the other account, all the markings for that account appeared.

My loggin info into.

Looks like a bug...I submitted in under feedback...just a pain.

I have a similar issue as my wife signed in using my ipad, and now the sign in screen auto populates to her username. There doesn't appear to be any way to delete that or enter a different username.

Hello all,

I'm experiencing the same problem with my iPad. Did we decide it was a bug? It works for android?

when I tried it before I logged back in with the same account so i didn't notice that the username field was uneditable, It works in GL 2.5 but the username field in GL 3 can't be changed.

Has there been a resolution to this problem. I am experiencing the same bug that won't let us change user names. Even signed out, trying to sign on, the fields are auto-populated with one user that can't be changed.

Has anybody else noticed that once you sign in with your LDSAccount username, there is no way to change it in the application without completely uninstalling GL from the device?

On my android devices, I can edit the username filed. On my iPad mini I can't edit the username field after I have successfully signed in to an LDSAccount.

Is this intentional? It is certainly a pain in the neck.

[Moderator note: The previous post was merged with this thread discussing the same topic.]

Is this issue being looked at? I just tried and it won't let me erase my wife's login name.

The app does not support multiple accounts. Doing so is on the backlog. In the meantime, reinstall the app if you need to change username.

In training Senior Missionary Couples I have a found a couple that has two iPads, but the husband has signed into both. Therefore any changes his wife makes in Gospel Library show up on his as well. We tried to change the sign in person, but the person is filled in when we go to sign in, and there appears there is no way to change it.

Is there a way, other than uninstalling and reinstalling the application?

No, you will need to uninstall and reinstall. Since they are syncing notes with LDS.org, none of their notes will be lost, but they will need to re-download any content they had downloaded for use offline.

This happened to me too. Had to uninstall and reinstall to fix.. iPhone.

Just as a heads up, this issue is still not resolved, but the work around (uninstalling then reinstalling and signing in with the different account) does work ...

Still unresolved. August 2016. I just sent feedback to gospel library requesting a bug fix. If any of you would like to do the same maybe it'll bring enough attention to fix the issue.

Experiencing same issue. Would love the capability to sign out a user and sign in with my account on a shared iPad.

I am also having the same issue. It would be nice if this could be fixed. Thank you for this great app! This is the only trouble I have ever had.

By the way, in my case, my wife and I shared my account. However, when I became the ward membership clerk, I felt it was best for me to create a new user ID and for her to use her own account. I did that mostly to make sure that all our other devices would no longer be able to login with my account ID in case we missed it somewhere.

In previous version of Gospel Library for iOS, the only way to sign in as a different user was to uninstall and reinstall the app. In Gospel Library 4.0 you are now able to sign out of Gospel Library and sign in as a different user. Go to Settings and tap on your username. Then tap Sign Out. Next, press Sign In and type the username and password you want to log in as.
