The best tool for studying

I lov e this app

iPhone 16 Pro – Tab Bar Alignment Issue

The bottom tab bar needs some adjustment for the iPhone 16 Pro. The tabs aren’t evenly positioned within the screen’s safe area.

The rightmost tab, “Personal Study,” is sitting too close to the right edge of the screen and looks like it’s almost being cut off. At the same time, the leftmost tab, “Home,” has noticeably more space between it and the left edge than the rightmost tab has from the right edge.

Could you adjust the tab bar so that:

* The entire tab bar stays within the iPhone’s safe-area margins.
* The left and right outer padding are equal.
* The five tabs are evenly distributed across the available width.
* The bottom spacing properly accounts for the iPhone 16 Pro’s home indicator/safe-area inset.

One additional note: while I have a screenshot showing the issue, it actually doesn’t fully capture how far to the right the tab bar appears in real time. On the actual iPhone 16 Pro, the tab bar is positioned even farther to the right, to the point where the “y” in “Personal Study” is almost touching the edge of the screen.

Thank you, brothers!

Dark Mode

The Watchtower Online Library (WOL.jw.org) has a very bright white background that can be harsh on the eyes. There is no dark mode or black background option when opening or using the library online.

Amazing

I love this app so much it’s so helpful spiritually

Love JW Library

Not sure how to contact the developers. This request is regarding the WT ONLINE LIBRARY. Please enable the ability to adjust the Appearance Settings to accommodate Dark Mode or System Settings.
Thanks so much for easing the eye strain for those of us who do our best studying and meditation during sleepless nights.

Highlight feature for marginal references

Incredible app that continues to get better every week it seems. But one feature I would love to have would be to be able to highlight and put notes in the marginal references. That way my personal study could be that much more enhanced.

可以改进的地方

谢谢DX的辛勤工作与付出!
有一些个人的使用建议:
1.圣经页面 两边的边距是否可以更小一点,这样可以容纳更多的字,比如现在的页面 两边 可以分别增加1-2个字.
2.字体是否可以增加更细的大小,比如现在的设定假设为10太小,设置为11 字又太大 是否可以增加"10.5"这样的字体.(就是类似x.5这样的字体)
3.标注颜色:现在有单排的几个颜色,是否可以增加为上下双排颜色,这样更多的颜色可以更细的分类划线)
4.中间那个圆形的紫色箭头 是否可以做的小一点 或者类似 透明 或者只有一个小箭头,这样不占用文字的空间,也可以把左边的文字页边距做的更小,显示更多的文字.
5.左边的注释,是否可以做成可以单独调节字体大小.就跟单机版书库那样 可以自定义字体大小,而不是随着左侧的字体大小调节自动变化。
以上是个人一点浅薄的建议,谢谢DX们的辛勤工作。我爱你们!
如果有渠道 我可以把简单的设计图给你们参考。不过我在ZH国。

All good but….

It stopped working on my iphone its frozen on loading and then the app closes by itself

Problem with format when copying or pasting

The problem started after the last update. When I print from the research guide, text comes out jumbo together. It is not separated by the different articles. So have to go in and attempt to separate each article.

Thank you for any assistance you can give.

Book mark with students name

Wonderful tool. I just wish I could write my students name next to the bookmark since I have multiple studies. Also notes regarding my studies.

Great app

App is great and works fine, but I was wondering if you could fix the feature or add a setting to disable when you click on the top of the screen it brings you to the top of the article. When I study it glitches my highlight and highlights everything up to the top, and I have to redo it and delete everything.

1 Star Only Because…

… it doesn’t show Appendix C on the phone but it does on the tablet.

Incredible app, very easy to use

This is a wonderful app for anyone looking to study the Bible. In it, you could find the Bible in hundreds of languages, including study Bible editions, kingdom, linear, edition, King James version, and many more versions of the Bible.

Not only that, but it contains study material that help you analyze biblical topics on a regular basis and in a systematic way.

My only recommendation for this app is that I wish there were a way to create profiles for individuals so that notes can be transferred from one device to the other.

I take lots of notes on my tablet, but I wish that I could access those same notes on my phone, since I don’t always carry my tablet with me.

If there were a way for me to create a profile or login to the JW Library app with my profile, then those notes could be saved to the profile and accessible through any device.

Help! App keeps crashing

I’m running iOS 26.6 on my iPad mini 5th generation and the app keeps crashing about 4 seconds after opening it

Always getting better

Friends, thank you for all your hard work to give us such a useful tool. Is there any chance we will someday get the ability to highlight in the study notes?

Can’t delete tags and notes under personal study

I can’t delete my old unused tags and notes under personal study (diamond). Help. Thank you

Tweak

Thank you brothers for making the app extremely helpful. I have a request. I wasn’t sure where to submit this request for the app. Could we make the Scriptures have the actual name of the book where the scripture is from; to be able to copy the entire verse as well as the book, so that it will be pasted the scripture and the name of the book where it came from altogether. Currently if I want to copy a scripture and paste it into a comment; I can do that, but then I have to write what book it’s from because that had been removed. Also, on WOL there is a feature When I listen to a chapter in the Bible, I can press play, and there is an auto scroll feature where the page will scroll on its own rather than me using my finger to scroll while I’m listening to it. This feature is extremely helpful. However, it’s only available on WOL. If it’s possible could we at some Point-have this feature in JW library. Auto scroll feature? This would be a nice addition. Thank you again brothers for your hard work. I love the app.
