Gospel Library 5.1.0 for iOS

Gospel Library 5.1.0 for iOS has been released and is available on the iOS App Store. Here are some of the changes:

NEW:
• Added study plans feature, allowing users to track the completion of their study.
• Changed access to full screen mode while reading to be a double tap (previously single tap).
• Improved progress indicator when downloading audio for a book or chapter.
• Added a button to access History more easily when creating a link.
• Added the ability to share all of the notes under a tag.

FIXED:
• Bug where general conference talks displayed out of order.
• Bug where audio player didn't auto-advance in some situations.
• Bug where swiping from the left edge of the screen didn't always navigate.
• Bug where bookmarks to uninstalled books didn't navigate correctly.
• Bug where tags didn't sort by most recent correctly.

Gospel Library 5.1.0 for Android will be entering beta shortly, and will also include the study plans feature.

The study tool feature is TERRIFIC. And just in time for the Come, Follow Me curriculum! Thanks a ton for this. I've only used it for a day, but so far, so good!

I can’t seem to find any information on how to use the new study plans feature. I saw a screenshot of it in the pop-up notification that displayed after the app update, but there were no further instructions provided, and I don’t see any obvious means of accessing/using it. Can someone please point me in the right direction? Thank you!

On the main library screen, there's a new section called "Study Plans," between "Notes" and "Music." If you open the Study Plans section, you'll see a button to create a study plan. A wizard will guide you through the steps of creating the plan. Hopefully there will be more documentation around study plans soon.

I love the addition of the Study Plan feature, but unfortunately the "Reminders" don't work for me. I've made sure that all my notifications are turned on and set correctly, as well as restarted my phone and deleted and re-downloaded the app. Is anyone else having the same issue with Study Plan Reminders not working?

There have been some issues with study plans and their reminders not syncing consistently, the past few days. Are you failing to get reminders on the same device you created the plan on, or is it on a new device or installation of the app that you synced to, that reminders don't appear?

It's the same device and I haven't had one notification come through at all.

I'm also not getting any reminders. They're not showing up at all–either as alerts, as badges, or as banners. And they don't show up whether I have the app open or closed. (It's on the same app, same device that I use regularly: my one iPhone.)

Also, another issue: I did a "recalculate" on the latest General Conference, and it duplicated every item, so that every talk appeared as two separate days, i.e. "Opening Remarks by President Nelson," Opening Remarks by President Nelson," "Deep and Lasting Conversion... by Elder Cook," "Deep and Lasting Conversion... by Elder Cook," etc. I had to delete it and start over.

Interesting – it sounds like there are a couple of bugs to try and figure out.

Here's a user-created video that gives an overview of how study plans work:

Looks like we’ll just have to wait for an update!

I’m having the exact same issue. No notifications at all! I tried looking in my iPhone settings, and all notification styles are turned on for the app. I tried re-making a study plan. I tried re-setting the reminders. Nothing. I’m stumped. Is it a bug? I live by reminders, so I reaaaally need this feature to work. Haha

The new full screen view includes the status bar icons (time, network, WiFi, and battery life). Is this a permanent change or something that will be fixed? I miss the old fully immersive view (it means text overlayed on text).

Gospel Library 5.1.1 is in beta and includes a fix for study plan notifications, as well as fixing the issue where the status bar remains visible in full screen.

We are having the same notification issues on all our phones. (Samsung) Study plans were created on the phones that are failing to notify.
Thanks! We love the study plans!

I accidentally deleted the gospel library app along with the data. I go to the App Store and only get open, not get. With open, get nothing. How do I get a new download for gospel library?

If the iOS App Store says "Open", it means the app is already installed, or still installed. If that's not the case, it would be an iOS bug that would need to be reported by Apple.
