ScripturePlus for iPhone

Digital companion for scripture study

ScripturePlus is an iPhone app built to deepen personal scripture study for Latter-day Saints. It provides on-device access to the Church’s Standard Works (including the Book of Mormon) and links supplementary material directly to the passages for easier context and reflection.

Main highlights

• Structured Reading Plans that sync with the Come, Follow Me curriculum and help users move through the Doctrine and Covenants.
• Integrated commentaries and short explanatory pieces attached to verses for immediate context.
• Multimedia connections — videos, images, and charts — embedded alongside scripture text.
• Historical background and interactive features tied to scripture passages to clarify setting and meaning.

Resources included

• 360-degree virtual tours of Church History locations and character biographies.
• KnoWhy articles and other short essays explaining doctrinal or historical questions.
• A range of multimedia content such as charts and photographs to enrich study.
• Cross-linked commentaries and videos that play from the passage being read.

How the study plans work

The app’s Reading Plans are laid out to support weekly Come, Follow Me study. Each plan presents a manageable daily reading, paired references, and suggested commentary or media for deeper study. Users can mark progress, return to unfinished sections, and follow the Doctrine and Covenants sequence with guided prompts.

Planned improvements

ScripturePlus is slated for future updates that will expand its resource library and refine the user experience. Planned additions include more multimedia material, improved linking between historical context and verses, and broader commentary content to support individual and family study.

Alternative suggestion

If you want a different style of learning, consider Toca Life World — Create & Explore Your Story (Free). It’s more of a creative exploration app rather than a scripture study tool, but it’s recommended as an engaging alternative for interactive storytelling and play.
