### 3/5 — Website and listener is not working!

*2023-07-14, version 1.0.34*

Many friends are saying it isn't working. I looked at the website and saw that it is no longer there!

### 4/5 — Not currently working?!

*2020-01-12, version 1.0.34*

This app isn’t working on any of our iOS devices? Is something wrong? We have deleted it and redownloaded it and still nothing 🤷🏽‍♀️

### 4/5 — Multiple connections

*2019-12-22, version 1.0.34*

Would it be possible to enter more than one congregation I listen between 2 on one it app other phone line would be super if both on app .
It’s due to illness and flexibility is good so I don’t miss out the meetings. 
Otherwise Great App easy and useful just add multiple connection. Thanks

### 5/5 — Still a Great app

*2019-12-15, version 1.0.34*

Such a blessing from Jehovah. I’m a caretaker/wife of a disabled person and we depend on the tie-in for every meeting. We really appreciate our brothers who give us the spiritual food even when we can’t get to the Kingdom Hall. Thank you!!!

### 5/5 — Excellent app!

*2019-10-17, version 1.0.34*

This is such a saver! I am so grateful I can listen to my meetings when I can't attend!!

### 5/5 — Thank you

*2019-08-09, version 1.0.34*

Thank you brother, this is an amazing App. Listening to my home meeting in the UK from Zambia. Brilliant 👏🏾

### 5/5 — Blessing when when away from home

*2018-10-28, version 1.0.34*

Use it always so not to miss a meeting.

### 3/5 — Update?

*2018-09-23, version 1.0.34*

Thank you for the app. Not working as well after iOS 12 installation. Might need an update?

### 5/5 — Very helpful for those with weak cell signal

*2018-09-16, version 1.0.34*

With most everyone having WiFi now, the app has been very helpful to the friends in our congregation. We have a lot of elderly and sick as well as caregivers that utilize the app. Thank you. I’ve had it for a couple years now, but am only now rating. Thank you KHCONF.

### 4/5 — Why does the phone disconnect?

*2018-07-13, version 1.0.34*

When I open the JWL app to follow along with the lesson, the telephone will disconnect me from the meeting on iOS 11.4.1. Can anything be done to correct this problem? Other than this glitch, its a great app.

### 5/5 — Awesome app!

*2017-12-31, version 1.0.34*

Awesome app makes calling into the meetings easier,  Just think it needs a mute button.  Our hall phone line doesn’t mute out the other listeners we actually have to push mute.  If it’s an automatic mute let’s us know.  Thanks Brother!  😊👍
Also another user complained that it allows you to block the caller id.  Personally I like it that way.  In my opinion keep it that way.  👍

### 5/5 — Beaneyman

*2017-10-29*

Have just listened to the meeting using this app. Thank you for making it possible to listen in with our congregations. The update means that even the songs are clear. Thank you for your hard work in our behalf.

### 1/5 — Misleading Developer Name

*2026-01-15, version 1.0.36*

Not by the same “[WT] … of New York, Inc.” as the library app.

### 1/5 — Avoid if you want to keep your family together

*2023-08-07, version 1.0.34*

They teach hate and shunning loved ones

### 1/5 — Seeing it as a blessing

*2020-03-20, version 1.0.34*

Beautiful provision from Jehovah, since we’re not able to gather together in worship Looking forward to using it. Will respond later on how it went. So I’m starting with one star, for just having this app. Thank you

### 1/5 — Help

*2020-02-12, version 1.0.34*

Tryed to get on this it turns red says incorrect pin no sound.Frustratedneed help

### 1/5 — Horrible app

*2020-01-31, version 1.0.34*

1. It disconnects by itself during the meeting. 3-5 times. It does not connect back. I had to do it manually. I got lost through the book reading because it took a while to connect it myself. 
2. LIMITED NUMBER OF LISTENERS!
We were both ill and we wanted to listen to the program. None of us could connect to the app or even call the number due to the maximum of people listening to the meeting. We were really sad. :( 
is that a  normal thing? Or was it like an occasional problem with the app? 
That would be super sad if we couldn't benefit from the spiritual food because of some number of people restriction.

### 1/5 — Not good

*2020-01-26, version 1.0.34*

My Congregastion used to use LiveKH which had video & also recorded the last meeting so if I missed a meeting I could watch it up to a week latter. This app is rubbish. Sounds like a phone call, no video, no recordings. In fact it’s totally pointless on my iPhone as I can just call the tie line number & use the pin without the app. Totally pointless & I'm disappointed.

### 1/5 — Not working

*2020-01-16, version 1.0.34*

Just stopped working on Sunday - tried logging in again today and it’s still not allowing me to log b in even though all the details are correct - is there an error with the app??

### 1/5 — New Application fails to work Correcting with Dock Connectors

*2017-10-25, version 1.0.34*

The new app for KH Conf fails to work with iOS 11.1 to 11.3 when using Dock Connectors on speaker systems and car integration. The issue is that the app doesn’t correctly grab exclusivity over the line out function, and allows the Apple Music application to activate and play music playlists. This functionality worked correctly in previous application versions. On iOS 11.1, 11.2, or 11.3 when you connect either an active KH Conf call, or start a call, when connected to a Dock Connector enabled device (Speaker, Car Headset/Radio); the KH Conf call appears to stay connected but the audio switches to play from the Music Library.

### 1/5 — Stopped

*2016-10-02, version 1.0.29*

No longer works on iPad Air/iOS devices, refuses phone number and access code.

### 1/5 — Doesn't Work

*2016-05-29, version 1.0.29*

I've input all of my information into the app. Name, number, access info and when I push play all it says is "KH Conf" and that's it.

## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated)

### 5/5 — Great app!

*2020-07-18, version 1.0.34*

Are you coming out with a MacBook Air version?

### 5/5 — Great app but...

*2020-07-16, version 1.0.34*

This is a great app but it keeps breaking up, which takes something away from the meeting and that is not what Jehovah's Witnesses want. If somebody could look at that it would be lovely.

### 5/5 — Mi primera vez

*2020-03-19, version 1.0.34*

Estoy súper emocionada por usar esta aplicación, usar la tecnología para estar fuertes espiritualmente es lo mejor. Gracias a Jehová y todos los hermanos por este apoyo 👍👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

### 5/5 — Cool

*2020-03-18, version 1.0.34*

Cool app

### 5/5 — Outstanding Simple Perfect

*2020-03-07, version 1.0.34*

So suitable for every level of user, makes connection a one-click.  For our entire group I say a huge thank you

### 5/5 — Surprisingly Good

*2020-02-27, version 1.0.34*

I enjoy using this App on my IOS device when I’m sick. The sound is clear and understandable. Except, when bad weather hits. The WIFI goes all which way, only then do I loose a Signal.
I also have it on my ROKU, which allows me to see the lyrics of the songs, videos and pictures. Plus, hopefully soon LIVE VIDEO, which will be Great, many elderly and disabled who are able to be made to feel a little part of things. This will be on the ROKU App - (only) True without a shadow of doubt, a banquet of provisions from Jehovah God.
I did try to find a MUTE BUTTON in Settings, it’s not there. And when, one is sick with a cold, there’s coughing & blowing of one’s nose, For example ...having a MUTE BUTTON would save anyone from having to hear that in a large audience. I do HARDLY AGREE a MUTE BUTTON Needs to be the 1st thing on the Agenda in the next UPDATE. Otherwise, it brings much Joy to those who use it Regularly. So glad, I’m able to use it. Keeps me Spiritually  focused. Thanks.

### 5/5 — Wonderfull !

*2020-02-13, version 1.0.34*

Big thanks to everyone !!! Amazing app !!! SUPER :)

### 5/5 — Thanks !!!

*2020-02-13, version 1.0.34*

Best APP EVER !!! / Thanks for the works :):):)

### 5/5 — Works perfect

*2020-02-06, version 1.0.34*

I have no problem whatsoever with this app. Works perfectly so far. I don’t have to put PIN number every times I use it.

### 5/5 — Works well! Here’s an explanation of buttons

*2019-12-22, version 1.0.34*

At first I was frustrated trying to figure out how to use this but to anyone who also has a little trouble at first, don’t give up and don’t be afraid to push lots of buttons. There are only 4 on my iPhone. 

The first 3 are sound related
1. The cast button (looks like a TV) - makes your sound come from alternate devices. Does not work well with Bluetooth in my experience. 
2. Speaker/headphone gives the option to listen on speaker or on headphone or holding cell phone to your ear. 
3. The settings button. This is where you make sure your telephone numbers and pin are correct and you add the number of listeners. KHconf formatted the numbers for me. All my settings are off, btw. 
4. The “call” button. This was frustrating for me but I figured it out.. ready? You have to push the button twice. Push it once, it turns yellow. If you don’t push it again within about 2 seconds it goes dark. But if you push it the second time while it’s still yellow it goes green and voila!! You’re connected!! 

Thanks brothers keep up the good work
