Living Scriptures

I love coming home at night and finding something uplifting to watch on my Living Scriptures App. I even canceled my Netflix recently because I wasn’t using it anymore due to always wanting to watch my Living Scriptures Streaming App instead. I absolutely LOVE it all but especially the documentaries about the USA Promised Land or the Book of Mormon Evidence (Hopewell Indians etc.) that is my favorite! I have a few friends that have joined LS just to see those videos! I love videos from on your site from Rod Meldrum and Wayne May and Ryan Fisher (Nephite Explorer) and from the Joseph Smith Foundation and we like the Skousen series too!! I can’t get enough of LS and I am SO excited when there is something new, especially in these categories! I’m also hoping you add videos from Amberli Nelson and Timothy Ballard to your list and more Nephite Explorer! I also love the The History of the Saints series and the docudramas of the Restoration and the Darin Southam movies about Christ on LS right now. My grandkids love all of the animated scripture shows. Basically...... we LOVE Living Scriptures!!!

Stay away from Living Scriptures. I signed up for a $1 for the first month deal, and then canceled on their website within that first month. Then, a few months later, I got a past due invoice for $20 in my email. I called, and after spending 30 minutes waiting to speak with someone, I was told that they had no record of my cancelation. However, after about 15 minutes of taking with them, they offered to take off $10 and cancel my account. I agreed to this because I did not have an email or other document to prove that I canceled the account, even though I specifically remember canceling it online. (I should have remembered that with Living Scriptures, you need to have everything documented, because they will try to squeeze every penny out of you). Then, even though we agreed to the $10, they still charged my credit card twice (for $9.99 each), and subsequently did not remove the charge, despite my request. I would stay away from them. It is just not worth the hassle. The animated scripture videos are good, but their other content is not great (and some of it is very questionable, including things I would not feel comfortable letting my children watch--such as the one-sided and potentially misleading videos about Book of Mormon geography). And most importantly, their sales and customer services is just the worst. Unless you are certain that you want to pay $9.99 per month with no easy way out, stay away from Living Scriptures.

I’m giving this app 3 stars because the content selection is 5 stars, but the app itself is 1 star. Many of the live action videos are streamed at a poor resolution and the video occasionally stutters even while playing on a very fast 100 Mbps WiFi network. The biggest problem is that it is not compatible with iOS 11, which no longer has a system-wide airplay option separate from screen mirroring. As a result many video apps have an airplay option incorporated into the app, but LS does not. This leaves screen mirroring as the only option to airplay LS content. Screen mirroring has many setbacks for this type of content, including not adapting to the proper resolution for the TV (creating vertical and horizontal letter-boxing), continuing to show the status bar on top at all times, and the inability to use different apps or allow the screen to sleep while mirroring. The last app update was 5 months ago, prior to the release of iOS 11. This app sorely needs an update to catch up.

We had all of the Living Scripture tapes for our children as they were growing up. We have so many fond memories of watching them together. The tapes were such a valuable resource for our family as the basis of their scriptural knowledge. Now that our children have children, they are using these same videos to teach our grandchildren. And we also love the collection of other movies that are a part of the subscription! There is never a concern about watching something inappropriate with these movies. Thanks Living Scriptures for providing this amazing resource!

We fell victim of their promotion. We did enjoy the streaming service but we just weren't using it. When we called in to cancel it everyone told me I had to cancel with iTunes because they don't deal with third party apps and promptly hung up. There is no subscription tied to my iTunes account for living scriptures. I called another two times and had the same snippy rude response. We finally figured out after a couple hours of digging that you have to cancel on the living scripture website, not through a 3rd party. I hope I'm still not charged because I didn't receive any notice that I had canceled. Overall, poor experience. I will never do living scriptures again.
