Bookmark not working

With the update in gospel library the bookmarks are not working. For example: I have a bookmark labeled "personal reading". I click on the bookmark and it goes to the spot. That works great. But when I get done and have moved on a couple of chapters I go in to bookmarks again and hold down that same bookmark. It does nothing. It won't bookmark my new location. Can someone please tell me what I am doing wrong?

In Gospel Library 4 for iOS, updating bookmarks can now be done by pressing the circle-arrow icon next to the bookmark name.

the bookmark does not change when you press the cirlce - it often puts the bookmark on some other random book mark i have.

I am having the same issue with bookmarks. I'll select the Book of Mormon bookmark and click the circle arrow and then another bookmark is updated instead.

We're having a really difficult time reproducing this bug. Could you post exact steps you're taking to make this happen?

I just do what I have always done and update the bookmark. It puts the mark in the correct place but grabs a random name for the mark. The marks are also no longer sorted from newest to oldest. I have quite a few bookmarks; so many that now I have trouble finding the marks for current reading because they are buried randomly with marks I have for other marks on articles, talks, etc. that I want to get back to for further study or for making special notes in.

I'm having the exact same problem here, every time I update the bookmark, it will change a previous one instead. I just figured out that this is what was happening, so about ten of my bookmarks have been moved now, and I can't remember where they were previously . I've also noticed that the most recently updated bookmark doesn't appear at the top of the bookmarks list, but this may just be a side effect of the current issue.

Bookmarks are no longer sorted based on when they were last modified. Instead, the order is user-defined. You can rearrange them by pressing Edit at the top of the screen, then dragging them up or down in the list.

Good to know, thanks!

I am having the same issue with my bookmarks. When I try to update them the bookmark icon appears where I am reading but the name doesn't update in the list. The bookmark grabs a random name from one of my many other bookmarks. After trying to update numerous bookmarks they are all a big mess now and I have no idea where I am actually reading. Talks that I had bookmarked now actually take me to my scripture reading when I touch the bookmark. I basically cannot use my bookmarks at this point because none of them can be updated correctly. Perhaps I should delete them all and start over?

I am having he same problem when trying to update and existing bookmark on iOS. I can set a bookmark just fine. It's when you go to update the location of the existing bookmark to a new location that has problems.

Ok... after some more trial and error.. hitting the circular arrow does update the bookmark to the new location that I would expect it to be. Things appear to be working now

With some more research and replicated another persons issue here. I have 20 or so bookmarks all created on a version prior to 4.0. When I go to click on the circular arrow to update the book mark it updated a random bookmark. Clicking the arrow again for the same old bookmark it updated the same random boookmark as the first time. So there is a problem with updating existing bookmarks that were there prior to 4.0

I was having the same issue so I tried deleting the old bookmark and created a new Daily Reading bookmark and it now works. Give it a try!

I agree, that works for a small set, but not very practical when you have 20-30+ bookmarks (i.e favorite talks, multiple reading bookmarks, content to read later etc. If old bookmarks are not supported with this new functionality, and deletion and recreation is the only answer I would think it to be important to note in release notes or some public form.

I am also having problems with bookmarks in LDS tools. I'm not able to create a bookmark or update the mark. I'm using an apple ipad. My android phone seems works great. Very frustrating.

In my case, the bookmark is saved for my own reading, but is not saved for the narrator reading. It always goes back to the beginning of the chapter instead of continuing where I left off. I noticed this same issue in conference talks. If I stop a talk and come back latter, it starts the talk over instead of continuing where I left off.

Bookmark is the most worthless non useful tool in LDS scriptures.

I can add bookmarks Ok anywhere (online, mobile), but I can not see any (old or new) online. It was Ok until about a week back. Why?
