Please use SD card for storage of downloaded audio/video

Post by msb27 »

I have an LG Stylo 5, Android version 10, using Gospel Library version 5.11.4. I am constantly running short on internal storage (32 GB), even though I am judicious in what I put on my phone. My favorite app on my phone is Gospel Library, but unfortunately this app takes up the most space by far of any app (3.66 GB on my phone, without any downloaded media according to the settings page). I would love to be able to download more general conference talks, videos, and audio scriptures on it, but am limited in space. I have a 64 GB SD card which the phone uses for pictures and video taken from the camera, and songs, but sadly Gospel Library does not utilize the SD card for this purpose. My phone does not have the option of formatting SD cards as internal storage. I am out of technical options, on my end, to get Gospel Library to use the SD card as I would want it to.

Please, please, please do whatever technical wizardy is necessary to enable the use of SD cards for storing Gospel Library content! I beg of you! This is my single biggest issue with this app.

Do you have a lot of books/publications downloaded in the app? Those take up space. You could try long-pressing on sections of the app, like General Conference, Magazines, etc., and choosing "Remove All", then downloading only the items you use.

YES! This is needed.

The solution is NOT to remove content from the App. Much better would be a way for us to store content on an SD card. Lots of other apps have this feature. It is past due on the gospel library app.

Please!

Did you provide feedback from within the app? That is the official way to submit feature requests. Feedback may not be individually responded to, but I understand that all feedback is read and cataloged future features. Posting here on this user-to-user mutual help forum will likely not get your request in front of those who direct the developer's priorities.
