Post by lamxu01 »

My ld s tools all quit updating this past weekend in my Kindle Fire 8 hdx. I delete the app and was going to reinstall, but it is no longer available in the Amazon Appstore. Please advise.

At the moment, you're out of luck. There enough of a difference between Android and Kindle OS that some changes have to be made. When and if they'll be made is unclear.

The product managers already have access to information that shows how many members have been inconvenienced.

Same problem here--it was so convenient. Now, not so much, as I have to access it by going online--through kindle fire--more cumbersome.

If Amazon is not going to support the lds tools app I will need to buy a Samsung tablet.

Or another brand running plain Android. There are other good tablets out there. I have an older Samsung tablet and have liked it overall (it won't run current LDSTools so I do without the ministering information now), but it is wise to explore options with ever-changing technology. Those I know who own Ipads love them, but that is normally a higher-cost option for the same functionality (my personal opinion only).

Often the advice is to purchase an older device as they are lower cost. The trade-off is it will be abandoned sooner and require a replacement sooner. My device runs just fine so I won't be replacing it right away - I can always revert to the methods I have employed for many, many years to manage my callings (*gasp* paper and a pencil).

I can't get LDS TOOLS to work on my Kindle Fire either. So I deleted the app, and after a couple of hours of wasted time in trying to reinstall I found this forum.
Would have saved me some time and a lot less frustration if there was something posted on the LDS.org website of this not working for the kindle. I won't be buying another tablet just to make this work. Hope they can get this fixed soon.

This is a user-to-user forum. The few Church employees who sometimes visit the forums are here basically not on official business. There's a chance somebody who can have an influence might see your post, but there's no guarantee.

Your request will be more likely to have an influence if you use an official help/support channel for LDS Tools. If you can't find anything more precisely targeted, you could use the Feedback link at https://www.lds.org/

I hope you get an LDS Tools app ready and updated for kindle again. I much prefer using my Kindle rather than my phone.
