I have a Microsoft Surface Pro 4 that is big enough to show scripture pages side by side. I'd like to be able to show 2 pages of scriptures side by side when looking at the screen in landscape mode, instead of one big page. It's easier to read if you don't have to read all the way across the whole screen, then try to find the next line when you have to look all the way back to the other side of the screen. I'd even like it more if it could show the 2 pages laid out as the scriptures are, 2 columns side by side on each page. With larger tablets and laptops you could show 2 pages each containing 2 columns of scripture verses that would look just like opening a book of scripture on the tablet screen.

When selecting the colors to highlight or underline, it would be extremely useful to be able to assign labels for them to help customize the functionality on a personal level. For instance when highlighting, selecting the highlight from the drop down, it would pull up a list of the colors that I have chosen, and next to each color would be a subject title that I have assigned.

This would make studies easier and more efficient because they would then be able to make more sense on a personal level and be able to allow us to see things in a way that makes sense individually.

Admin Note: This suggestion was originally two suggestions in one, including the ability to customize highlighter colors. Because highlighter color selection (from a set of six preset color sets) is now implemented in the beta (as of beta 3.0.32.0), we've removed it from this suggestion, but didn't want to lose the label suggestion or its ideas.

The ability for ward leaders to communicate with the ward.

Example: share lesson notes, meeting minutes, Come Follow Me assignments and followups, activity times & locations, announcements, etc.

This feature might seem difficult to implement, but it is actually rather simple. Add a section on the Library home screen called, "Ward & Stake," similar to the "Personal" section that exists, currently. Subsections could be Elder's Quorum, Relief Society, Youth, Ward Mission, etc. Now, instead of syncing only with one's own account, query the LDS member directory database for a list of all members of the Ward or Stake and their callings, then sync it with all of their accounts, respective of their calling and various groups. Done, implemented.

I've attempted to request this feature in Tools, but the fact is that Tools doesn't sync regularly enough to make this effective. I'd imagine the backend isn't as robust, either. Add to that that members simply don't check Tools as often, and that all the resources you could ever wish for are included in Gospel Library, and it makes it the ideal candidate.

This solves the age old question: how do ward leaders communicate with ward members in mass? Do they send out an email? What about the increasing number of people that don't use email, especially youth? Do they create a ward Facebook page? Do they send out annoying group messages that members end up blocking? Do they ask members to join apps like GroupMe, Marco Polo, or others?

Or, do they just post to Gospel Library, which all members already have? This is the clear choice.

Thank you for your consideration.

While we cannot speak for others, the lack of an export feature has been a major barrier to our adoption of the Gospel Library application as the main tool for our gospel study, especially of the scriptures.

Many consider their collection of personal notes a treasure of gospel study discoveries and personal insights. The ability to independently export or download, backup, print, read, edit, and use their own personal cross-referenced library of notes, as an independent document, would be an incredible addition to the Gospel Library application on all platforms.

Such features addressing versatility and security, common to so many other applications, would allow all loyal Gospel Library users to become fully invested in using a secure suite of applications.

When you create a note at the moment, it just pops up at the bottom of the verse (if you made a note in the scriptures at least). But, if you make two notes for the same verse, but for different parts of the verse, there is no way to follow which note went to what part of the verse. I would suggest that when you highlight something to make a note of it, both the highlighted section, and the corresponding note will be marked with a 1, or an a, or something like that. That way, you can highlight multiple parts of a verse, or multiple verses, and then be able to follow which part of which verses goes with which note. And then when yoo hover over a note, the verses, or part of the verse that that note goes with will become highlighted or something. Basically just being able to create custom references would be nice.
