If your laptops are running Windows 8, 8.1 or 10, you can find it in the Windows store.
Small, but important correction: the app only runs on 8.1 and 10. Windows 8 hasn't been supported since version 1.x, at least two years ago now.

That said, if your device is running Windows 10, you'll have a better experience with Gospel Library as the upcoming version of the app will only support Windows 10 and I wouldn't expect support for the 8.1 version (2.x) to continue for very long after its release.

I have a Surface RT 8.1, and really need to install the Gospel Library, and if possible LDS Tools. I have spent a week trying to install these 2 programs, to no avail. it installed fine on a Dell-2-in-0ne, running windows 10, but I can't get it to even download on RT 8.1. I'd love to upgrade to windows 10, but have found that there is no upgrade from RT8.1 to windows 10. Can you please tell me how I can get the Gospel Library
installed on my Surface?

I think you're stuck. RT was an interesting idea, but Microsoft dropped it, so, there's no Win 10 RT. The device lacks the processor needed to run regular Windows.

The technology GL was written in makes it Win 10 (Universal App?) only. That would have allowed it to run on more devices such as phones, and I think even X box, but not on Win 8 devices.

LDS Tools for Windows was dropped as the church didn't want to pay for the security testing required to allow it to hold sensitive information.

The only suggestion I can make is to check out the deals on Cyber Monday. With your current machine being stuck at Win 8 RT, you're going to find that your problem goes beyond just church apps.
