Faithlife Study Bible iPhone app - Preparing Library

Lee Crum

I downloaded the Faithlife Study Bible app today.  It has been "Preparing library" for over an hour.  Is this normal?

Welcome to the forums! Sorry you are having troubles. [:S]

No. Close the app and then kill it via the multi-task bar. See if that fixes it.

Thanks, that at least allowed me to open the app, however, only a few of the options are functioning.  Things like Infographics, Photos, Videos and Lexham Bible Dictionary all say, "Error Loading Book, Could not load the specified book."  Finally, there is only a single version of the bible I can find available, the Lexham English Bible.  Is there a way to choose another version?

 

Thanks

Are you a paying customer with a base package, or are you just using the free resources? Also, are you connected to the internet?

I don't normally use the Faithlife app (I prefer the Logos app)… Some thoughts:

1. The servers were down today. Check again… I think they are up now.
2. The resources are fairly large and can take a while to download.
3. The Lexham is the Bible of choice… because Logos owns it. I am not sure what other translations you will have access to… but you can only download translations that you own a license to. I think you may have online access to the ESV and several others.

If you still have issues after the server issue is resolved, let us know. I will try to download the app and sign in without using my credentials so I can "see what you see."

Lee - I was able to download Faithlife, and I was successful in accessing the photos… Hopefully your issue was server related and is fixed now. As for the resources: A very limited number of resources come free with this app. The only Bible is indeed the Lexham. If you are interested, you can download the Logos bible app, which I believe will come with many more resources. NOTE: Most of the resources will be for online use only unless you purchase them individually or through a base package.
