Tablet Edition of Ensign

I saw this on the front page of lds.org: http://lds.org/church/news/tablet-ensign?lang=eng I have a motorola xoom and have been unable to find the app in the marketplace. I am really excited for this but have been unable to install it. Does anyone have any suggestions

It is for the jobs-pad only for now.

While that is clear if you read through the article, they should really correct that in the article highlights for those of us too lazy to read through the full article.

Why are they creating an entire app for the Ensign, why not publish it the new iOS magazine rack app (I forget what its called).

A quick research suggests a few possible reasons:

• The app has links to audio and video. It's not just a eReader.
• There seems to be no free subscriptions in Newsstand
• Apple takes a cut of the subscriptions.

But that's just speculation on my part.

The app shows up in the android market now - unfortunately it seems the devices it is able to install on is limited. My rooted nook color (cyanogen) can usually install just about anything.

Market says it needs 2.2+ where Cyanogenmod 7.1 shows 2.3.7 on my Nook Color.

I don't know why they would limit it by device, but apparently they have.

Wow... 560MB. Download....waiting to see the result

I have an Android tablet but this app just doesn't work. It states that I am not connected to the internet even though I am. Anybody get this working on Android?

Since it's for tablet's, perhaps it's a screen size issue.

I was looking at the 7" as being a better compromise for portability. Plus it's a lot more affordable then the 10" ones. I hope they decide to support the 7".

More specifically, on the Kindle Fire, I get a "Cannot connect to server at this time" error when downloading the Ensign? Is there a way to download the Ensign content to a PC and transfer it to an android tablet?

see the thread Gospel Library in Amazon App Store for information about how to install the Gospel Library on a Kindle Fire

Thanks Pete. LDS GL is not the problem. It is the new LDS Ensign app that does not work/connect to the server. Any thoughts on side-loading content for this app?

It is working on my asus trnsformer.. i like it, audio, video, text all at my fingertip.

Side-loading, e-mail a PFD version of the Ensign or other documents and you can open the PDF on the Kindle Fire
Also, you can connect the Kindle Fire to a desktop/laptop and copy a PDF to the "Documents" folder on the Kindle Fire and then use QuickOffice (click on Browse, Internal Storage, Documents, then the document name to open it)

The application installed just fine from Android Market to my Dell Streak (Android 2.2.2) but I can't download the content, even after waiting for hours.
When I pause or cancel the download it tells me that it can't connect to the server even though i have both WiFi and HSPA connections.

How did you get it on your Fire at all? Did you sideload it? If so, where is the apk available for sideloading?

It's described in the wiki article Android sideloading.

Won't work on my Lenovo K1 Android 3.2 - Shows start page and acts like it is updating, then closes

@DrJ1234 - Temp rooted my fire, this way I have access to all the android market. PM me for the details.

Actually, that doesn't have the link for the new Ensign app, just the other apps, which I already had.

Is there someone willing to send me the folio file for the LDS Ensign App for the Ensign Nov. 2011?

So I am guessing yall know this but I just figured it out so I wanted to post in case someone like me hadnt figured it out yet. I just got the nook color and wanted my ensign without having to buy a n2a card. I just went to lds.org dowloaded the ensign pdf. It is great! Pictures and all! I do have a paid set of scriptures so the only thing I needed were my church mags! Its a win win for me! I will be glad when it is supported by BN but now I am no longer considering returning it!

Is there anybody else getting the "not connected to the network" thus preventing downloading the content?

I haven't had this problem, but let me see what I can find out about it that could be causing it. What device are you using? Also, what version of the App?

I have tried it on two Asus Transformers, Samsung Galaxy Tab 2 7", Nook Color, Galaxy Tab 7" (original), and a Kindle Fire. None of them worked.
Running version 2.5.0.3. 48659.

I downloaded it onto my Samsung Galaxy Note 10.1 just fine. After downloading one of the issues, it said it couldn't open the stack.
