Don't Lose Your Place

 

Do you ever avoid turning to a scripture during class because you don't want to lose your place? You can always use the back button, but that can be tedious. One of my favorite features of the Gospel Library app is called Screens. It's similar to using different tabs on a web browser. The idea is you can have multiple tabs open for all of the resources you use on a regular basis.

Some of the screens that I use include:

• Personal - For my daily scripture study
• Family - Come Follow Me lesson for the week with my family
• General Conference - I try to read or listen to at least one talk each week between conference sessions
• RS - For the talk we will be discussing in our next RS lesson
• Primary - When I taught primary, this was for the next primary lesson
• Seminary - I've been reading from the seminary manual to supplement my Come Follow Me studies
• Ensign - For the current Ensign issue
• Temp - I always keep one screen open for just random things I need to look up during a class or other temporary purposes

I always rename each screen so it's easy to see what I'm looking for. Last I knew, the Android app could do this, but the app for iPhones could not. The Screens page also looks very different on iPhones. Keep in mind that the apps are continually changing, though. Maybe this little tip can help you get more out of the app for multiple settings, as well.
