Comments on Deseret Bookshelf for Android

★★★★★ Eileen Gardner · Feb 17, 2026
I love that I can read so many wonderful books on Deseret Bookshelf +, and that they all fit in my hand!
★★★★★ Mary Doffermyre · Feb 18, 2026
The audiobooks are wonderful to listen to, have enjoyed listening to Anthony Sweat's books !
★★☆☆☆ Skilled 500 · Jun 26, 2026
The interface is terrible-it never allows me to pick up where I actually left off or even see the right page number in books I'm reading on it, and I can't access audiobooks on it at all. I still gave it two stars only because I greatly value the content.
★☆☆☆☆ Colleen Lewis · Jun 14, 2026
I've been using this app for over a decade. But after the most recent "update" in May 2025, it's no longer worth the money. I requested assistance. I was told "click here"; "click there" blah blah blah. That was exactly what doing, and it still doesn't work. Totally ridiculous. Why "fix" something that wasn't broken? EDITED JUNE 13, 2026: It's been a year since my first review. The app is still not fixed. According to other reviews, I'm not the only one having issues with the bookmarks.
★☆☆☆☆ Alex Brenchley · Jan 23, 2026
Fix this app! This app is so broken scrolling doesn't even work. When I try, it brings me right back up to the top. I can't access any of my purchased materials besides the ones at the top. Turning pages in the app is so bad that all it takes is two quick swipes, and it completely breaks. I cannot access most of my purchased content, and for the things that I can access, it is the biggest pain to actually read due to how bad the page turning is. This app needs to be fixed! Please fix it!
