LDS Tools no longer updating or available on Kindle
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.

Re: LDS Tools no longer updating or available on Kindle
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.

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

Re: LDS Tools no longer updating or available on Kindle
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.

Re: LDS Tools no longer updating or available on Kindle
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.JamesWarren44 wrote:To LDS tech, please make the tools app available for the Kindle Fire!
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/

Re: LDS Tools no longer updating or available on Kindle
I hope you get an LDS Tools app ready and updated for kindle again. I much prefer using my Kindle rather than my phone.
