I had the wonderful opportunity to alpha/beta test the Gospel Library and Gospel Tools app before they were available to the public. It was a great honor.

Is the new Children and Youth app "Gospel Living" also doing an open beta to help find bugs? I would love having the honor of testing this new app. I'm so excited for the possibilities and believe it will help strengthen families. I'm very tied into the social media scene and have worked with my famous influencers who create content, I have seen both sides of the coin as a consumer and creator. And this new app is going to have a HUGE impact on our youth. They need a safe place to communicate and be able to express their thoughts. Social media is so full of worldly influences. This will be a pivotal change for the church as a whole. Just like the Gospel Library. And I want to be a part of it!

I do not know for certain, but I would think that the new app is being beta tested by the stakes participating in the actual pilot program.

And since the app is expected to be rolled out within two months (January 2020), I do not expect that the developers are looking for beta testers at the moment. It is also my understanding that the app is being beta tested by members of entire stakes, and not by individual testers (unless they live in a pilot stake).

I would also love to beta test. Happy to do quality testing, or provide usability feedback.

I believe the beta tests are by stake, not individual. You'd have to move to a stake that's in beta.

The application is available globally at https://play.google.com/store/apps/deta ... rg.lds.liv (for Android).

Is there a way to access it using a web browser (for the youth that do not have an Android Google or Apple smartphone) ?

No, it isn't. It may appear that way, but as soon as you try to associate it with a phone, you'll get a message indicating it's not available if you're in the US.

Ok sorry. I thought so. Will there be a web application when it's globally available?

Not that I've heard of. But then, I'm not "in the know" on that.

I heard the new youth app would be available in January 2020, but I don’t see it yet. When will it be available? Thanks!

It's being rolled out now, but it's not available everywhere yet.

Is there any hopes of getting the app to be user-friendly for divorced families in different wards? Like how can we use circles if our child attends a different ward or the child have access to events in two different wards that they attend if they split time between their parents?

I would submit feedback and make the request. There is not much that can be done by users, but feedback will get to the developers.

If your child attends your ward on a regular basis you can have your ward clerk create out of unit records for them and then they can be in your household. I don't know if the circles looks at those or not, but I think they would.
