About LDS Texting

Background:
The idea for this app came to me during a session of LDS General Conference when Elder Richard G. Scott said the following in his April 2013 address:

"If you young people would review a verse of scripture as often as some of you send text messages, you could soon have hundreds of passages of scripture memorized. Those passages would prove to be a powerful source of inspiration and guidance by the Holy Ghost in times of need."

Now, you can read a scripture as often as you send a text message.

Special thanks to James Birdsall for the icon work!

Features:
-- Random scriptures will be chosen from your selection of standard works
-- Choose a scripture mastery list and get random scriptures from that list
-- Star your favorite scriptures and have the app randomly display one from that list

Permissions:
-- Read your text messages - The app does not actually read your messages, it is only checking the database to see if a text message was sent.
-- Modify USB storage - The app uses USB storage to store your list of favorited scriptures.
-- Run at startup - If selected, the app will automatically be enabled when your phone boots up.

This has been very helpful and inspirational. There have been times when the verse that pops up is exactly what I needed to read. Thank you for making this.

R70%
by R####:

I love being able to pick what scriptures pop up

I70%
by I####:

I have been using this for almost a week now, and although there are some features I hope will come in later updates, this thing is awesome. Easy to use and not suoer intrusive. Subtle thoughts, sometimes random, sometimes eerily appropriate to the topic I am texting about. It is a gentle reminder to keep the most important things first in my day.

V70%

I just got back from my mission and thought that this would be great, but it doesn't work it shows that it it's active, but when I send or receive texts it doesn't do anything. Although the inspiration button does work.

R70%
by R####:

I love the idea of this, oh so very much! It makes it a little more fun to text, because a shot of inspiration will surprise you, and fill you with the spirit! Absolutely fantastic! Well done :)

W70%
by W####:

I love the simplicity of breaking up texting with scriptures. But is there any way to import scriptures to my favorite list? IIt would really help my ponderizing efforts.

R70%
by R####:

Oh this app is wonderful! I had been going to my Gospel Library app after texting but all too often I would get caught up in the conversation and forget. Now I have the ease of it just appearing. Now I get a little power boost every time I text, and I can even choose which scriptures I want to see the most. :-)

R70%
by R####:

The app helps me take a moment to pause and reflect upon The Love of God in my life and draws a closet connection between myself and the Devine. Make sure to turn it on and set it to start at boot. Greatly uplifts the Spirit in a non intrusive way like widgets that end up being ignored then removed. Please don't pander to those iOS people, they made their choice.

Does the text recipient also receive the pop-up scripture or just the sender? Love this app!!

R70%
by R####:

This is absolutely the greatest idea for a full-time working parent. Helps me slow down a little. Thanks!!

F70%
by F####:

I love this app. I just wish that it would give you the option to use just one scripture. To help with memorization. I love that it has the scripture mastery option. But can't you take that a step farther and be able to select any scripture?

R70%
by R####:

Is there an apple version of this? If not we need one!

B70%
by B####:

I love this so far. No kinks on my end... however, I wish there was the option to receive scriptures from each book in order, from start to finish instead of just randomly :-/

Best app to be able to see a scripture every time you text!!!

This app didn't work. Nothing ever popped up. It's a really great idea, but didn't work

P70%
by P####:

What a good idea. And it works great!

Z70%

Works well on my LG G2 using Google hangouts integrated SMS to a phone number. Does not pop up though when I chat via hangouts. Hate the constant notification bar bubble though! Get rid of the bubble and 5 stars

by B####:

I love this app and it works great. One suggestion/request: an option to turn off the notification icon if you want to. Thank you for an awesome app!

Awesome :)

Just like Elder Scott's talk for the youth saying what if the youth read a scripture every time they sent a text. Very clever
