Some people may have noticed that the Scriptures application that was on the Android market has been removed. I’ve been thinking about this move for a long time and realized that I just haven’t had the time to devote to it like it deserves.
In addition to the lack of time for the application, I’m also impressed with the Gospel Library published by the LDS church. Granted they don’t have a lot of releases, however they have a great deal more features then what is provided by the Scriptures application.
The last thing I have considered is open sourcing the application. If there are people interested in working on the application or even just learning from some of what went into the application I could consider publishing it on a code site like github, however I’m not keen on somebody taking it over and then using it to earn money from it, so I haven’t released it anywhere yet. So, if you are interested in it at all, drop me a line.
Scriptures was one of the first apps I downloaded when I got my first Droid. Yesterday, I got a new Android phone and wanted to add Scriptures to it. It was the best scripture app I could find, partly because I could read with a black background and white letters and that didn’t hurt my eyes. I really wish you would reconsider your decision. Lots of people don’t need or want all the bells and whistles more complicated apps provide. I just need something simple and easy to use.
tengo una tablet coby y me gustaria descargar las escrituras ,mi pregunta es si me podria guiar para haceerlo .
My challenge has been being able to support all the different devices out there. Have you looked at the LDS Gospel Library app? It can do ‘night’ mode, which would not be as hard on the eyes.
