Gospel Living web app or desktop app and potential for non-member access

[dlayton]

For those of us who aren't nearly as computer literate as some of the rest of you, could you explain that process? I download apps all the time. I've never downloaded a Google Play app through Chromebook, don't know what that means or the process it would involve. If I go to the playstore, the only options I see is to download Google apps for and on eligible Google devices. Thanks in advance.

"Google Play" is Google's app store for Android. You can use Google Play to download other apps, including Gospel Library, Sacred Music, and Gospel Living.

Here are some instructions for enabling Google Play on a Chromebook and using it to install Android apps:

I do have to say that if the Gospel Living Circles messaging is ONLY available on SMARTPHONES, that will absolutely leave many youth out

It's not healthy to tether yourself to a phone, regardless of your age.

With nothing but a Phone app to access church resources, members are at the whimsy of the consumer-sphere they have bought into. Additionally, many of these consumer entities are hostile to religion. Having a web app provides for greater neutrality and flexibility in accessing church resources.

Personally, As an adult I have worked the last 4 years to de-tangle myself from dependency on the smart phone. I find that the only means of accessing Circles on such an insecure and intrusive device to be a non-starter. The only way I can justify using it is on a Web interface where I can access it from my PC. This needs to happen otherwise my family is not gong to be able to leverage what looks like a valuable tool.

Phones are at best a distraction. Humanity built civilization without candy crush and other apps that send you notifications to remind you to spend time looking at their ads so you can buy more things.

Peace and God Bless.
