No gospel library app through Kindle fire

I can no longer find the gospel library app at the Amazon app store when using my Kindle fire, meaning I cannot download it. The other common LDS apps are there. Anyone else experiencing this?

I can't get it either. I wondered if it was because I have the newest Kindle.

I used to be able to get it fine, but it disappeared from my son's account. I wanted to try reinstalling, but it is gone.

I jusrt did this. Easier than it will seem.
If you use the sideloading option you can get it. In lds.org go to the mobile applications page, next to gospel library click Android, this will take you to ANDROID Mobile Apps. At THE BOFROM of the page is Android Sideloading. Click on the ldstech link and follow directions.

When you download click the show button and install the apk. You may have to change settings to allow installation of 3rd party apps.

Hope this helped.

Just got a Fire HD 8 and it has LDS Tools and Music and a couple other apps in the Appstore but Gospel Library said, 'not available.' When will it be available for this newest Kindle Fire device (just came out Tuesday)? This is a critical app as I purchased this just for taking to Church, etc.

Are all of you on new Kindles – Fire 7 (2017) or Fire HD 8 (2017)?
Are you able to get to the app by navigating directly to the app's page?:
Amazon.com: Gospel Library: Appstore for Android

I am having the same problem. We've had Kindle Fires in the past with the Gospel Library app on them. I just bought my kids the newest Kindle Fire and now can't load the Gospel Library for them. We have Amazon FreeTime activated for parental controls and this will not allow them access to any sideloaded apps, so sideloading is not an option for us at this point. Anyone know time frame for this being available in the Kindle store again?

Sideloading not working either for new kindle fire. Allows you to download but the install button does not work only the cancel button. So close! Anyone else able to sideload??

We have a new Kindle Fire 8, and sideloading doesn't work for us either.

This is the main reason my wife uses her kindle. Any ETA on getting this working on this device?

I had friends that wanted to upgrade Gospel Library from 3. to 4. They had Fire 8's.

We had to add Google Play Store by following this instruction http://blog.the-ebook-reader.com/2016/0 ... c-or-root/ using the newer XDA forum's instructions. https://forum.xda-developers.com/amazon ... e-t3486603 Make sure you Go to Settings > Security > Enable Apps from Unknown Sources first. I assume after Gospel Library is installed you can disable apps from unknown sources although I didn't do that.

Just download and install the 4 apk in the proper order and then download the Gospel Library app from Google Play Store. The apk links to download are at the xda-developers web page. Very easy.

As far as parental controls, you may have to remove them, get the Play Store and download the app and then renable the parental controls.

Gospel Library 4 is back on the Amazon Appstore. There was a search bug affecting Kindles, which was causing the app to crash. Amazon subsequently removed Gospel Library from the store. The developers submitted a patch update, which is live on the Appstore as of 2:30 AM this morning (Mountain Time).

As of just a few minutes ago, I'm still getting a message from AMAZON that the Gospel Library is not available to KINDLE owners! At least not the Kindle I own, Does the Church, that tells me to avoid unnecessary debt, want me to spend $400 that I don't have for a newer device?

What version is that? I don't think the app works on the e-reader line, just the Kindle Fire line. New Kindle Fire starts at $50. The only ones that were around $400 were the very first ones.

Gospel Library is provided as a convenience. The Church doesn't require members to have the newest version of Gospel Library, or to own a mobile device at all, to be in good standing or to have access to the latest gospel content. Scriptures, magazines, and manuals are always available on LDS.org and in print.

What model of Kindle do you have? Any Kindle Fires released in 2012 or later should be compatible, but unfortunately the first-generation Kindle Fire from 2011 is running Android 2.3.3, which isn't supported.

I also just purchased the kindle fire 8. When I try to download it, it says it's currently unavailable.

Amazon rejected the 4.2.1 update on a few devices – the developers are working on a fix so it can be resubmitted to the Amazon Appstore.

Gospel Library has been re-submitted to the Amazon Appstore as 4.2.1.6 and should be live within the next 24 hours. For anyone who's curious, the original 4.2.1 update was rejected by the Amazon Appstore for larger Kindles because one of the tablet-size "Tips" images wasn't bundled properly with the app and was showing as a black square.

My wife and I both use an early Kindle Fire HD. We've been using the Gospel Library for some time now. However, Gospel Library was updated on Sept 1, 2017 to 4.2.1.6. Now both of our apps crash on startup. I've deleted the app and reloaded from the Amazon Store with no change. It starts to open and then gives a message that the Gospel Library closed. Is there a fix coming?

App just stopped working on Kindle Fire two days ago. I've uninstalled & reinstalled several times with the same result - when I hit app to open, it attempts to open, but then "gospel library has stopped" appears. Since this only happens on my Kindle (and not my android phone) I contacted Amazon to see if there was a problem they could detect with my Kindle. No luck. Any thoughts?

I have had the Gospel Library for a couple of years. Today I was reading a 2008 magazine article and it just stopped working. I have deleted and reloaded several times and it will not work. How do I get it back? I used Gospel Library all the time to study. Thanks Nancy

I have the same problem.

I have a Kindle 7 and as of Sunday, Sept. 3, this app will no longer open when I click on the icon - just looks like it's attempting to 'load', but goes nowhere. I hope someone is working on fixing this soon, I have lesson notes there for next Sunday

The weekend's crash is due to a larger-than-expected content update, which is causing the device to run out of memory. See this thread:
Gospel Library stopped working on Fire OS

I have Gospel Library on my Kindle Fire. Every time I try to open it, it says Gospel Library has stopped. This has been happening for three days now.

The post immediately before yours explains how to find out why this is happening.

This worked great! Thanks for the help!

I have a Kindle Fire 2nd generation and the Gospel Library App has stopped functioning... Need to teach on Sunday and have no app to rely on... frustrating.

Sunday at church my gospel library would not work on my kindle. The message that comes up says it has stopped working. I tried it at home and at work. It just keeps coming up that it has stopped working. What's going on?

Make sure you've updated to the latest version of the app (4.2.2).

My wife bust got a new Kindle Fire 8. Following the instructions and going to the app page etc. the install button won't work but the cancel will. And it version 4.2.2. HELP!

I am not sure what happened but it installed today and now my wife is a happy camper..............

Gospel Library on my kindle fire was working, but magazines and conference had not updated since June. I deleted and tried to reinstall and it says "not compatible with my device". I can install version 1.0, but when I open it, it says "application has stopped unexpectedly". How can I get the newer version to be compatible? My kindle version is 6.3.4. Thanks

Based on this list of Fire OS versions, Fire OS 6.3.4 is based on Android 2.3. The current version of Gospel Library – Gospel Library 4 – requires Android 4.0 or greater (see this post).

I called Amazon Customer Service and got the help I needed to download the Gospel Library App on my Kindle Fire HD10. The first thing I did was open my Kindle and select "Settings." Then I clicked on the "APP" menu item and uninstalled any instance of the Gospel Library that was on the Kindle. Then, I logged into my Amazon.com account on my laptop and did a search for the Gospel Library App. Having found it, I clicked on the menu item that said "Deliver to KindleFireHD10." (NOTE: I have a different name for my Kindle Fire which showed up in the menu item that I clicked. You will probably have a different name for yours as well.) Then I opened my Kindle Fire, went to settings, opened the "apps" menu item to confirm that the Gospel Library App was delivered there from my account. Having confirmed that it had delivered properly, I was instructed to shut down my Kindle Fire and reopen (reboot) it. Much to my delight, the App worked just fine. Hope this helps.

I just bought a Kindle Fire with gift cards for the main purpose of using it on LDS.org for all the Gospel Library! Now what can we expect do you suppose?

Since you just bought it, it should be fine. At least until it's rendered obsolete by the passage of time.

I have original kindle fire and noticed last ensign was July 2017. Couldn't get newer so decided to uninstall. Big mistake now it's gone and I can't get it back. Is this something the app author is choosing to not update for older kindles? Is there any hope of getting it back?

The Amazon Appstore currently only distributes the latest versions of Gospel Library. You could try installing the Google Play store on your Kindle, which distributes older versions of Gospel Library to older devices (there are a few tutorials online for how to install Google Play on a Kindle Fire). Unfortunately, it's not the easiest solution for all users, though.

Are the old content provider services still running? If not, then loading the old app isn't going to get very far.

Yes, you won't continue to get new content in the older version of the app, but if you wanted the scriptures at least, installing Google Play may be an option. See this post for more info about content in older versions of Gospel Library for Android.

I have the fire tablet and Gospel library is there and works great my problem is LDSTools is gone and not syncing on my other Fire Tablet why is this someone know and will it be fixed? It works find on my Samsung tablet but it is older ..... Thanks to let me know any way to fix this problem....

You may have already heard about this but LDS Tools is no longer available on the Kindle. I understand that they may have needed to determine where to put their resources, but I still think there should have been a notice of the change BEFORE the rug was pulled from all of us who have Kindles.

I wish I had known this before I bought a new kindle last week! Will LDSTools be available for kindle in the near future?

You might want to check the return policy. I haven't heard what the problem is, but it's been 3 months now that LDS Tools is unavailable for Kindle. I wouldn't hold out much hope.

Well it is now December 2018, I should not be surprised the Gospel library is still not supported on the Kindle. I know the Gospel Library is supported on OSx, iPhone users, Android and Window users. I am saddened and disappointed the church no longer supports kindle users. There has to be many more Kindle users out there. Post and let your voice heard.

Gospel Library is supported on Kindles newer than 2013 (Any Kindle that runs Android 4.4 or greater): https://www.amazon.com/Church-Jesus-Chr ... B006OP8494

How do I reload gospel library on my Kindle fire?

Gospel Library can be installed from the Amazon Appstore.

Hi, Samuel! I just loaded gospel library on to my new amazon fire tablet. It seems to work fine, but I cannot find a place to sign in and therefore can't access all of my bookmarks, et cetera. Can you help me?
Thanks!

In the top right corner of Gospel Library, you should see an overflow menu (three dots). Tap that, then tap Settings. You should see an option to sign in at the top of Settings.
