2 pages
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…

Custom Color/Style Labels
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…

Pen-Written Notes (Inside Note Canvas)
So I figured out a good way to implement the use of the Pen for Surface Devices. Allow writability in the notes that you can already create as you read. This way you can still write to your heart's content and not mess with the app. All written material will be self contained within the notes.
22 votesAlthough we still need to get support from the Annotations web service and implementation on iOS and Android devices (so that they can read those notes), we do like this idea and will keep it in mind as we continue development of v4 (the Windows 10 UWP version of the app).

Allow an "introduction" note to be entered before the selection
I prepare lessons using the app. I would like to be able to place the note prior to the selection. Placing the note prior to the selection acts as an introduction to the selection that is helpful for creating lessons or to act as reminders of what to look for the next time I read the selection as part of my personal scripture study.
13 votesWe are considering making it an option to either show the notes before the highlight or after.

Organizing Annotations
We need to be able to reorder annotations within a chapter or verse. In a verse, for example, the first annotation shows up last, etc. Each additional annotation is added to the top of the list.

Closed Captioning for Videos
Please add captioning for the videos since I cant hear or make out the words. Thanks.
10 votesWhile if it were in our power, we’d love to make this possible, we develop the application, not the content, and this feature would require content-level support. The content is handled by an entirely different group of people. They provide the content for the apps, we can only make available what they make available.
If, in the future, captions become available for inclusion in the application, we will revisit this suggestion.

Auto save notes
As a user types notes to prevent loss in the case of battery failure auto save the notes. You could use simple debounce logic and if the user pauses for a brief moment save (like 3-5 sec). If a user is able to continuously type for prolong periods of time save after a longer period to prevent sluggish choppy behavior.
Time to wait really depends how long it takes to do the save. if save is so fast it doesn't actually interfere with user experience you can just save every so often like very 5-10 sec.
8 votesAllowing users an option to autosave notes while editing is now under review. As resources become available we will put this in the development queue.

Create notes or tags that cover multiple non-contiguous verses
In a similar way as to how the church has made it so you can click on a single link/reference to a non-contiguous set of scripture verses and go there, showing highlight over only the verses that were referenced, could we do the same in a note or tag? Allow some aspect of the interface that would allow you to say that this tag applies over versus 2,4,5, but not 3? Etc? That would be nice.
Example of an existing reference like this: https://www.churchofjesuschrist.org/study/scriptures/dc-testament/dc/68.25,27?lang=eng
I'd like to make a note/tag that highlights and applies D&C 68:25,27, but not 26. I…

Mark footnotes containing specific types of data
On an older version of the scriptures web site, there was a setting available that would mark footnotes (with a dot) that contained a specific type of item, based on your choice using checkboxes. The types would be things such as scripture references, topical guide references, bible dictionary, alternate translations, JST, and other notes (IE, OR, etc.). This was a great feature that I used all the time, especially when studying Isaiah or other books in the old testament to see very quickly which footnotes contained alternate translations, JST, or notes. For the gospel library app, you could use a…

Ability to store data on different drive than C (boot)
Create option to store downloads/data on a different drive. My OS and apps are on a 500GB SSD (my C drive) and I have two 2TB drives that are running in Raid 0. This is where I store my data.
It would be nice to have a choice with Gospel Library to download all my content without filling up my C drive. Thanks for a great app!

Choose between showing created date and updated date on notes and journal entries
When i am taking notes in sacrament meeting i some times review those notes and update them through out the week. The down side to this is when i update the note I can no longer see the original created date of the note so i am forced to name the note with a date of when i originally created it.
a similar request was closed marked as completed, but now all we get is update date instead of created date. It would be nice if we could toggle a created date on/off so i didn't have to put the…
3 votesRecent updates to the annotations service provide the fields necessary to attempt to display both a created date and a last edited date. We still need to implement many of the other features of the new annotation service to give us access to the fields. So we are now reviewing how we might provide you access to that.

Toggled highlight light gray (or other color) every other line for readability
Keep track of which line I'm reading on a computer screen is much easier if every other row has a noticeably different background/highlight. I know other people would also benefit from this because automatically highlighting every other row has been option on Excel and similar programs for years.
I think light gray would be a good default color (or dark gray for dark modes) since this would not conflict with the vast majority of highlighting schemes. The toggle and color selection could be placed next to the hide annotations option so users can turn off their highlights if they do…

Make a "surprise me" study option
Have a button or tab that would take you to a random general conference talk, to remind you of old favorites, or find something you missed when it first came out.
