Still can’t tick the field service box before the month is over. What if I’m travelling?

Hot garbage.

Not able to get in

Ever since I got the app haven’t been able to get in. No matter what I try. Not good rating.😒

A request please

I have a question- is there a way to have my old congregation field service time moved to the new congregation to better see how this service year is going? I've lost 5 months with the new changes, and would like to see how I'm Really doing.
Thanks much!!!!

Service time

I am having a similar problem as PestM
Both my wife and myself have successfully posted our report, only to be asked to submit our report.
The information needed to be manually added.
Even with this glitch, we love this app.
Thank you

Problem since last update

When I try to open my territory map, the app just shuts down. I really don’t want to put a negative review because I find this app to be very useful. And I know they will fix the problem.

5*

Sorry about the last review it was meant for another app not the NW publisher app . 😳

Thank you

This is such an amazing app now I can keep up with my time now that I am an ap and I’m only 10. Thank you so much

Love it!

Thank you my brother for developing this app. It has been such a pleasure to use and a great help to congregations all over. May Jehovah continue to bless your hard work and dedication.

Great app but keeps crashing

I have the app on my Iphone and IPad. It is fine on the IPad but when I am out depending on my mobile data, it constantly crashes. I delete the app and go through putting in all the info again. It works for a couple of days and then it crashes again. I need it when I’m out and about, not just at home.

Great App! Please fix “AWAY PERIODS”

Please fix “AWAY PERIODS”. Glitchy. Has a hard time editing and deleting. Sometimes scrambles the dates!

Great app

I love this app. I really appreciate all the work that went into this app. I have a question. Is it possible got submit my time on the last day of the month? If not why do I get a reminder on the last day to submit my time? Thanks

Congregation Administrator

NW Publisher provides a very informative platform to maintain and inform the congregation. Provides a method to reach members during an emergency, notifies members of important information such as events, visits, presentations and much more. This program works well and interfaces with NW Scheduler very well. My job as administrator is made much simpler with this application. Much appreciation goes to those behind the scenes to make this application very user friendly.

Pioneering with New World publisher

I’m 75 years old and sometimes I forget things. This application enables pioneers to keep an accurate record of their time. additionally. The way public witnessing is set up. It’s very easy to connect with other others. It works for me!

Please Support Scheduler on mobile get it out of beta! and imitate lv chapter 14 pp. 160-17

Note: tl:dr
Hebrews 13:18
Proverbs 11:1
Zachariah 8:16
Ephesians 4:25
Wt82 1/15 pp.4-5
lv chapter 14 pp. 160-170

Get this app out of beta. Even JW library supports more os then this app and it’s free and non profit and hour glass is non profit too. 🤔👎😨😯.

I also feel making this app paid for by a local congregation and sold exclusively to Jehovah’s Witnesses kind of unusual. I mean you only customers are JWs for commercial purposes. 🤷‍♂️. What’s up with that. And the weird requesting need to boast about please review our software and spread the word seems more like a cheap way to say please buy more of our products were better then everyone else.

I really think you all need to reevaluate your business model. Because you have turned something a spiritual congregation would use into a business which brings this whole thing into question.

PS Please also get ready for the day when Jehovah’s organization may integrate all of this type of software for free into somthing they make and your whole software becomes obsolete. Hope you have a backup plan.

Pss also hourglass is “optional” end to end encryption the same way as the share nw scheduler servers are “optional” feature that stores all our data on your servers. When both apps use encryption essentially both storing noise data on the server with OUR data obfuscated on it. Please update your website as the way you market against hourglass is very deceptive against those brothers and using the scriptures in that manner is not an excuse for that false statement.

Hebrews 13:18
Proverbs 11:1
Zachariah 8:16

Support is a nightmare

Before anyone migrates or wants to switch to this app, rethink long and hard. Support is very frustrating to say the least, the developer is arrogant and never tries to own up to the problems. Support takes an act of congress to even create a ticket and perhaps it’s to discourage friends to creating a support ticket in the first place. You need screenshots,documentation,os version,timestamp,video of the problem and if you don’t provide this info you can’t submit the ticket. The other major problems we encounter are the nightmare synchs across the organization,sometimes it disconnects from the account other times the info drops out and we have to add back into the schedule again in nw scheduler which is the desktop application to set things up. True cloud apps will continue to function if there is a version mismatch, but with nwpub. Forget it, it will cause heartache to many friends. I may sound harsh here,but if nobody says anything then perhaps nothing will change for the better within the support process and workflow and or making this app more versatile,backwards compatible and more user friendly ,the gui for the cleaning schedule is another area it needs help with ,instead of clicking,allow for drag and drop feature into the fields above for groups cleaning,it’s so time consuming to click ,click,click and then to delete is also frustrating,make a right click function to be able to delete rather than go to the field and then click the eraser button. Anyways,hope this helps others to make informed decisions and also address some service SLA issues as well,because even with the proper documentation,this cat doesn’t respond back or takes weeks to respond and then when he does he’s practically making you feel like we are the problem.😳

Inventory, literature

I love this app. I think it’s great, but can you add a category for inventory, literature?

Best app

Thanks to Jehová for this app and to the brothers that made it, now it’s so much easier to stay on track with assignments and any other tasks. Something I really like is that I can see who will come to my congregation to give a talk also for pioneers something really handy is that I we can keep track of how many hours we have every month. I love this app so much and Im really appreciated. ❤️
