Gospel Library Public Beta

Before major releases of the Gospel Library app (and sometimes before minor releases), the Gospel Library development team sends a beta version of the app to users who opt in. The purpose of a public beta is to get feedback on new features and to find major issues that may have been overlooked in previous stages of testing.

Pre-release builds undergo a limited amount of testing before being sent out publicly, and the highest priority of the development team is to ensure that user data, including notes, annotations, and study plans, is safe. However, there are no guarantees of overall stability in pre-release builds.

Before participating in a beta, make sure that you’re signed in with your Church Account and that recent annotations are safely synced.
