Can't Download Any Content
I have uninstalled and re-installed the Gospel Library App multiple times, because I can't download any content. Every time I click on the scriptures, or general conference talks, it tells me it failed to download, and to check my internet connection. It does this if I'm connected to wifi, or if I'm using mobile data. It's super frustrating, especially when I try to participate in lessons on Sunday, and my phone won't open scriptures, or talks... Anyone know what to do to fix this?
TIA

Re: Can't Download Any Content
I am having a very similar issue on my Samsung tablet. Some of the content will download but a few items won't and I get the same error "failed to download check internet connection". I have uninstalled and reinstalled several times but can't get it to work. I have also tried multiple types of internet connections. How do i fix this?

Re: Can't Download Any Content
The app comes bundled with an old content catalog (whichever catalog was current the last time the app was updated). So after you have the app installed, you will need to wait for the app to get the newest content. In Gospel Library for Android, you can force the app to check for the newest content by going to the main library screen and swiping downward. You might have to do it a couple of times. If it finds a new catalog, it will kick you to a splash screen while it's unzipping and applying the catalog update. Make sure you're on a good internet connection when checking for new content. If you have "Limit Mobile Network Use" turned on in Gospel Library settings, you'll need to be on Wi-Fi for it to get new content. Once you're on the latest content catalog, then it should be able to download books correctly.

Re: Can't Download Any Content
I've been having the same problem for about a month now on my LG G5. I've been going back and forth with Church tech support for about a month, and the other day they told me the new update would come bundled with the new catalog, but I just updated to 4.4.0.14 and even now it won't download. I've tried uninstalling/reinstalling it, restarting my phone, swiping down from the top, etc.

Which content are you having trouble downloading – is it a specific book?ammonj555 wrote:I've been having the same problem for about a month now on my LG G5.

Re: Can't Download Any Content
It's not anything specific, it just won't download any content at all. I had to uninstall/reinstall about a month ago after it started acting up (like I would open the app and nothing would show up) and then all of a sudden nothing would download.sbradshaw wrote:Which content are you having trouble downloading – is it a specific book?ammonj555 wrote:I've been having the same problem for about a month now on my LG G5.

Re: Can't Download Any Content
I've actually figured out the problem. It was an app/service my family had subscribed to called Verizon FamilyBase which monitored data usage; as soon as I uninstalled it, Gospel Library was up and running again just like normal.
