As many of you are aware of now, LDSScripturesApp.com is our new website that allows you to create, upload, and optionally share, content for the LDS Scriptures app. To log into the website you must use the LDS Scriptures app on your iPhone/iPod Touch to create an account (just click on the "My Library" section). Once you have created an account you may use it to log into the website.
We will be releasing a video overview of the website that will walk you through its main features and how to best use the site.
LDSScripturesApp.com will be continually updated and improved, and new content will be added on regular basis. There are already several new features in the works and they will be rolled-out over the coming weeks.
Please post any general comments about the website in this thread - or you can use the "Contact Us" link at the bottom of the page to send us an email directly.

Is it possible to get all the Ensigns on here? I know they are on the LDS web site but do I need to convert them? How did you get the July Issue on there like it is? I will do converting - all the grunt work if you show me and share all the content.

Were can I find the content formats supported for the app?
Oh yeah and this is way cool!!!!
Now I am trying to find the Ensigns in a supported format - don't worry if I end up finding them I will share them - I just wish you could support Plucker or something of the opensource nature.
