I have an android and want to d/l ALL of the videos on the Gospel Library app to my sd card.
I know how to go to each video and d/l each one individually. But would like to watch any video w/o WiFi at anytime.
How?
Thanks in advance.

There isn't a way to download all videos at once via Gospel Library. Also, Gospel Library doesn't play well with SD cards,* so downloaded media doesn't always end up there – you probably wouldn't get the expected results.

You may also be interested to know that the Church is producing an LDS Media Library app, which is the equivalent to the LDS Media Library web site. I don't think it provides a way to download all, and I'm not sure what its SD card support is like, but it should make it easier to find and download videos one by one, if not in bulk.

*For a long time, Gospel Library tried to support SD cards, but it became difficult since Android has changed how it handles SD cards with about every Android version, and SD cards are notorious for data loss or creating corrupted files when the app expects them to be there but they're not. This, combined with the fact that devices with SD cards are becoming less and less common (in favor of larger internal storage), has put SD card support low on the priority list for Gospel Library.
