Update reset

The update seems to have reset my reading I was doing already this year. Other than that I find this app really useful.

Response from developer

I am very sorry. Hopefully you could recover. The schedules have been improved. Now there are "real" schedules for the various durations. This change made the migration of the read status fail in some corner case.

Enjoyed but erased

I was thoroughly enjoying using this app.
But yesterday it completely erased my already schedule and started me all over again

Response from developer

I am really sorry. Due to the fundamental changes in the schedules with the last update, the app failed to mirate the reading state in some cases. I hope you recall where you have been with your reading schedule. Please check the section which you have last read and you should be able to continue. If you need help please send a note to support@searchwork.org.

Love this app but.....

Great app beautiful design but it was allowing me to have 3 month plan and that has disappeared along with the progress I checked off.

Response from developer

I am happy to tell, that the 3 month reading plan has been added back. You might also like that the Bible now opens in the JW Library app. Please update and enjoy.

Thank you

The app is handy and I appreciate having it to keep track of my schedule.

However one glitch I noticed when I use the โ€œcontinue atโ€ feature, it seems to highlight the previous day instead of the current day. When I complete todayโ€™s reading, it thinks Iโ€™m one day ahead.

Thanks for your hard work!

Response from developer

Thank you for your report! Are you referring to the green line displaying one day ahead after reading? The green respectively red line is just indicating the first unread section. You will notice this, if you uncheck a section a few days back. The days ahead/behind indicator is displayed as a badge in the header of the app. Does this help? Should there still be a problem or if you notice any other issues, please send a note to support@searchwork.org.

Nice, looking forward to new features - thank you!

Would love to see a daily bible reading schedule based on the schedule from the Kingdom Ministry some years back. I will gladly use this however to track my future bible reading progress - thanks again!

Response from developer

Thanks for your feedback! The serial reading plan is based on https://www.jw.org/en/library/books/Schedule-for-Bible-Reading/. The regular schedule we had in the Kingdom Ministry was a weekly schedule. Please send a note to support@searchwork.org with some details to make sure that I understand your suggestion.

Good but bugs

None of the scripture links work in the chronological plan. Would be so good if they worked.

Response from developer

Thank you for reporting. This should be working since the upgrade to version 2.1.1 from January 15. Please upgrade and retry. If you should still have issues please send a note to support@searchwork.org.

Love It!!!

Clean, simple, very easy. I've always loved reading the Bible chronologically so very happy to find it here. Thank you so much!!!

Schedule

Is there a way to read only one chapter a day? Would like to be able to spend more time meditating on what I read.

Response from developer

Thanks for your feedback! With the latest update, 3.2.2, you can select the duration of the reading plan to be of 4, 2 or 1 year, respectively 6 month. There is even an option to read any of these plans without an end date at your own pace. Does this help?

NOT WORKING ON iOS 10.3...

Will not open on my iPhone 5 (iOS 10+) and yet compatibility says requires iOS 9.0 and later. Please fix this issue. Thanks. Otherwise I've been looking for this app for my Bible reading schedule.

Response from developer

Thanks for trying the app. It works for me in the simulator on an iPhone 5, iOS 10.3.1. Can you upgrade to the latest version of the app and retry? Please send an email to support@searchwork.org including details if it should still fail.

Great ideas

I really like the way the app is designed, but I would like to do DAILY bible reading, just at a pace that allows for more meditation. The 1/4x schedule only schedules bible reading a few times a week. Can this be adjusted?

Response from developer

Thanks for your feedback! With the latest update, 3.2.2, there are now "real" reading plans for durations of 6 month, 1, 2 respectively 4 years (at least for the serial and add written plans). There is also an option to read any of the plans without an end date at your own pace. Does this help?
