Best LDS Android Apps
LDS Scripture Citation Index
Easily follow the biblical citations mentioned in sermons with the LDS Scripture Citation Index. This is one of the LDS Android apps that links what is said by Church leaders to the verses in the Bible. The talks are stored on the LDS.org website, and the app requires a network connection to access it. There is a table of contents for the General Conference and the Journal of Discourses. The free LDS Scripture Citation Index app is available in the Android Market.
LDS Scriptures App
Another highly rated LDS app for Android smartphones is the LDS Scriptures App. It contains over 13 years of General Conference talks, hymns, and manuals. The app can be saved to the phone or loaded from an SD card. As you read the text, use the phrase highlight and bookmark features to keep track of important verses. Also, record your observations in the note section. The autoscrolling feature improves the readability of the text. The LDS Scriptures App is available at the Android Market for $14.99.
LDS General Conference
The LDS General Conference app is one of the LDS Android applications that focuses solely on the General Conference. It contains material from the past ten years. You can read, listen, or watch talks from the conference. One downside of using this app is that the audio recordings don’t get paused when a call comes in, which can sometimes be problematic. The app also requires a network connection to access the talks, which may not appeal to everyone. The free LDS General Conference app is available at the Android Market.
LDS Magazines Full
The LDS Magazines Full is an app that contains the publications issued by The Church Of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints. It contains past magazines and current issues. One thing to watch with this app though, is that it doesn’t get updated with the new magazine issues very quickly. Besides this problem, the app contains useful information that is handy to have on an Android phone. The LDS Magazines Full app is available at the Android Market for $2.99.
LDS Tools
A great way to keep track of the members in your ward is with the LDS Tools app. With this app, you can download the ward directory to the Android phone. It includes member information including phone numbers and addresses. View the location of members on Google Maps and easily dial members from the app. You can also quickly send an e-mail through the app. The free LDS Tools app is available at the Android Market.
If you’re on a budget, consider downloading the free apps mentioned above. Otherwise, splurge a little and download the LDS Scriptures App. It contains everything you need to stay connected with the Church while on the go.
