Android Scriptures App

The Android REScriptures app is now available on the Google Play Store. It includes the ability to read the text of all three volumes of the Restoration Scriptures (last updated in September) entirely offline as well as to do keyword and exact phrase searches in the text. It is still a work in progress and will get updated versions of each work as they are completed (Vol. 2 should be updated by the end of next week).

You can find it here: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=info.scriptures.rescriptures&rdid=info.scriptures.rescriptures.

Great thanks for the ongoing efforts to bring us such tools

UPDATES: When updated scriptures are made available to the REScriptures app, the app needs to be updated on your phone in order for you to receive them. To make that happen automatically:

To automatically update apps on your Android device:
  1. Open the Google Play Store app .
  2. Tap Menu Settings.
  3. Tap Auto-update apps.
  4. Select an option: Auto update apps at any time to update apps using either Wi-Fi or mobile data. Auto-update apps over Wi-Fi only to update apps only when connected to Wi-Fi.
 FUTURE FEATURES: The developer explained: I also intend to continue adding improvements to the app. For the next version, I would like to add some basic settings for adjusting the font, font size, color scheme, etc. I also want to improve the search to allow filtering by volume and book like you can do at scriptures.info.
