Are you still having this issue?

If you go to Study.ChurchofJesusChrist.org or Notes.ChurchofJesusChrist.org, you can check to see if you recent notes and highlights are there – if they are, you shouldn't need to worry about losing them by deleting and reinstalling the app. That said, deleting and reinstalling the app would remove any screens or study plans you have, as well as any downloaded media you might have, which isn't ideal...

I bit the bullet: deleted Gospel Library then re-installed it. It now opens smoothly, and apparently no data has been lost. I'm a happy man!

I am having the same issue. I am running iOS 14.2 on an iPhone 6s. When I updated to version 5.10 (end of October) the app would show the church logo for about 10 seconds, then the time banner appears at the top of the phone, run a couple seconds then crash. I updated to 5.10.1 and the problem has persisted. I have waited for an update because I don’t want to delete and reinstall the app. I don’t want to lose everything I’ve downloaded. Any thoughts of where the app is getting stuck?

I tried the internet sugestiones. Didn’t work. What did work is deleting the app and then downloading it again. It didn’t save my book marks, but it did save what I previously downloaded.

Same issue for me. Recent update causes app to attempt to load with a white screen, then crashes on my iPad Air and my wife’s.

After deleting and reinstalling the app we finally got it to successfully launch again after seeing a white screen rendered for 10-20 seconds. However, it took us several attempts (uninstall and reinstall) to finally achieve a working result.

Everytime I try to open the app it crashes immediately. I have tried restarting my phone, using it with and without wifi, and uninstalling and reinstalling it. I do not know what to do next

Are you on iOS 14? It seems like there's a crash affecting a lot of users on iOS 14. You could try upgrading to iOS 15 (all devices that support iOS 14 also support iOS 15).

I have the same problem. OiS 14.6 . iPhone 6. Tried reinstalling, restarting, disconnecting to WiFi. Still not working.
