Doctrinal Mastery Reviews

by My1234468

I used DoctrinalMastery a couple of years ago to memorize The Living Christ. It was a fantastic app, very easy to use, and it helped me achieve my goal. I don’t know what happened…there must have been an update but DoctrinalMastery was not improved. In fact, it is much worse, has many bugs, and is more difficult to use. I can’t add scriptures from gospel library unless it is a link from something else like a footnote that opens in the sidebar; and even then, it just copies and pastes it. It doesn’t do the memorization feature where you can take away the words like with the passages already on there. DoctrinalMastery is pretty good if you only care about the scripture masteries but as a graduated seminary student, I am looking for other content and the “my content” section needs some work. Also, side note, the scripture mastery lists on there are outdated, and they have since updated a lot of the scriptures, so it may be helpful to change that as well. Overall, this used to be a great app, and I think it can be once again, but your developers need to get to work. I will happily use it when that happens!

DoctrinalMastery is phenomenal, but the 3.0 updated interface leaves much to be desired. When I opened it after the update I thought I was looking at some fake ad you sometimes see on the internet. Overall, I’m sure this update contains some great improvement, but I really wish they’d move back to the elegant look that DoctrinalMastery had before the update.

Granted, I’m only a three year old convert, but it was jarring to see the Books of Moses and Abraham listed as Old Testament. And I echo other users on some feature requests and wondering if DoctrinalMastery is still getting loving updates and bug fixes.

I think it would be great in the memorize section if there was an option to share that/those verses via text or social media.

It’s all been great but the Articles of Faith on the quiz and flash card pages appear as blank. Fix this and it’s perfect!

by Winndigital

Thanks for all of the hard work on this. I agree about adding the prophets. Also, audio would be a huge help.

I love DoctrinalMastery it helps me so much with seminary, but when I tried to study the articles of faith it wouldn't load

by Gabhad134

The articles of faith quiz doesn’t show the question only the answer choices
Great app, though

by Teach For Understanding

This is a great app! I really enjoy that you can link the Scriptures and conference talks and memorize them. As an area for improvement it would be nice if you could study the Scriptures by categories the same categories that are listed for doctoral mastery.
Thank you

Love DoctrinalMastery but there are a few bugs that make it annoying. For example, when I add my own scriptures and try and edit them, there’s no way to save the update. Also, when sending feedback the sent button is greyed out so maybe you don’t want feedback bc DoctrinalMastery is maintained but not actually being worked on. So the question is, is DoctrinalMastery still being developed? I hope to hear from someone.

I liked the feature of the first version in which the flash cards showed up in random order. Am I missing something? Is there a way to do that that I’ve overlooked?

Last year I would have rated it 5 stars. Not a fan of the changes.

It would be great if there was an option to go in random order.

I use DoctrinalMastery every day to help me learn the scriptures and it has been a great resource for me. About a week ago a glitch has appeared in the “memorize” section, and the “underlines” no longer appear. It would be helpful to me if you could fix this issue. Thank you.

Love DoctrinalMastery but wish I could select the verses used in the quiz and flash cards to coincide with the ones we have studied in class.

I used to just write down the first letter of each word on a paper and then try to memorize that verse, but DoctrinalMastery does just that!

The default font is monospaced and ugly. Please allow us to select a serif or sans-serif font.

I love DoctrinalMastery! I agree with what other reviewers have said. AoF sections doesn't work. And having the pictures of the prophets pop up would be cool! I'd love to get those better.

Here are other suggestions:
Any way of getting something for chapter headings in each of the standard works? I want to get to know the chapters better and I think this medium would be a great way to learn them!

I also think you should have a "shuffle all" section where DoctrinalMastery doesn't tell you which of the standard works the reference is coming from. That'd be a great way to really test out my remembrance!

Also, under the "quiz" section, is there a way to have the actual verses instead of just the summary? I like to quiz myself and would love to be able to toggle between the summary and verses like I can do for the flash cards.
(I realize that if there are four verses quoted that it would be obvious not to select a reference with just one verse, but maybe you could quote only part of the entire reference or could make sure if 3 verses are quotes then the options to select from would also have three verses)

Thanks for such a great app!

It would be nice if there was a format more like the learn section on Quizlet. I think they have the format for memorization down.

by Lynnsgifts

I love DoctrinalMastery so helpful. Works great but I can not figure out how to delete anything added!

by Dallisaurus

This has been a great reference for me, as a Seminary student. I would just like to ask for one tweak. You can add scriptures to the “My Scriptures” section. But could there be a way to edit or delete any passages we choose? Seriously awesome nevertheless. Thank you.
