Scriptures is a reader for the LDS Scriptures, and includes the Old Testament, New Testament, Book of Mormon, Doctrine and Covenants, and Pearl of Great Price. Additional LDS content includes Teachings of Presidents of the Church manual, Hymns, Book of Mormon study guide, and General Conference talks. Coming soon: footnotes, cross-references, bookmarking, highlighting, and more!
Thanks for doing this! I was thinking of doing something similar but you beat me to it. I would like to give it 5 stars but unfortunately the book tabs render very small, making it difficult to select them. I’m thinking you just need to set the viewport (see the new iPhone development guidelines).
I’ve fixed the interface, it is TONS better now! Enjoy!

I like the new interface. Would love an NIV version.

Looks Nice!
I was wondering if you might have considered buttons for the Chapters though, it would offer a denser selection to choose from numbers that were in a 4 by N grid like the home screen.

you need to preference this app.
“Mormon scriptures” most people don’t read your scriptures and don’t want to read them. So if you would rename the application that would be great.

Cool, but its missing 7 books.
BibleTed on July 8th, 2007 at 6:33 pm
Yuck, it’s horrible with the Moron books in there. Galatians 1:8 “But though we, or an angel from heaven, preach any other gospel unto you than that which we have preached unto you, let him be accursed. ” If this were free of these teachings it would be great!
“null” errors have been fixed (they were only there for about an hour while I was fixing code, sorry), the source material is an open source (sourceforge) version of the scriptures, they are KJV.

Thanks for putting this together. The search function alone puts this above the other one that was put on this site today. I like the navigation buttons on top too.

I have a question regarding this “search button” where is it? The guy says there is one but I can’t see it. Maybe I’m just not looking where I need to look. By the way thanks!!! I have been waiting for the scriptures to come out for the iphone so thanks again.

Awesome. Thanks for getting the LDS Scriptures so quick. I was hoping this would happen soon. Thanks again from a very happy Mormon.

To the guy who quoted Galatians. It just so happens that an ANGEL did deliver the Book of Mormon to Joseph Smith.
I’ve made native ebooks for all the scriptures in case you have an iPod touch or iPhone with no reception. There’s a tutorial at devincollier.com

I second Dan above - I am totally ready for this on my touch -BUT- how to get it?
Josh on March 8th, 2008 at 3:44 am
This is probably the single most greatest thing ever invented. I left my scriptures at home and needed to read them for my Book of Mormon class and totally forgot so I read them with my ipod touch during stats class instead.
You totally ROCK!! I just bought the iPhone today, did a Goggle search for “scriptures on an iphone”, and came up with your site. I AM LDS, and I was so jazzed to see all the LDS scriptures for the iPhone. I have been taking a Palm to Church for 5 years, and thought I would have to keep doing so, but you’ve got the Priesthood manual, the hymnbook, and the scriptures, so I guess I can now use my iPhone!! What a blessing!! Thank you so much!!
Nik on July 22nd, 2008 at 8:42 am
This is great! Do you think that you could get them in spanish also? I know that you can’t get KJV in spanish but another would be fine as long as it also had The BOM, D&C, and the Pearl of Great Price in Spanish… You would be my hero!
nick on July 22nd, 2008 at 3:26 pm
I want to put these on my touch, but can’t seem to figure out how… I see a nice interactive window of the program but can’t seem to find a way do download it… I am anxious to get them.
Dear Nik, the downloadable version is not available yet. Scroll down the main page and see the Downloadable version section. You will find all the explanation there.
seriously…$14.99? It’s not like carrying around my scriptures was that big of a deal before I had an iphone. That just seems like a lot of money - especially compared with what other apps cost (or don’t cost).
isaac on October 8th, 2008 at 10:48 am
hey i totally love this app. i can understand the griping about it costing 14.99 but i also respect the fact that you propably put a lot of time into creating this app and making sure everything was gramatically correct. so thankyou sooo much. you have no idea how jealous the guys at my singles ward are.

Hey this app is great. It could use page tabs also but well worth the money. I paid 85 alone for my quad. 15 for all this? Great price. And it weighs nothing because it’s a program. You can even read at work or anywhere you want.

I just got an iphone. How do I get the LDS scriptures here on it? I click on the link, and nothing really happens.
Thanks for doing this! Especially the hymns. Nice to have those on Sundays when I sit in the back and lack a hymn book.
Hey– loved the WebApp. Unfortunately I can’t get WiFi in the church building.
Great app!!! Unfortunately I don’t have WiFi at church either.
i am a mormon and this is awesome go
