Keeps Me On track

Love this app. Have kept up with my reading for 4 years straight.

A little glitchy from time to time. Right now, hebrews 1 comes in the middle of Philemon. But I don’t care. It works. Checking a checkmark is everything.

Link to Bible

I used to be able to press the reading for the day and it go straight to the Bible. After an update, it no longer does that. What happened?

Love it!!!!!

It’s so organized! Can’t imagine the time that went into this! In the future could it be done to where if you have already started a schedule you can just put where you want to start from and continue from there in chronological order.

update makes it useless

I’ve been using this app for years. Sometimes it got confusing when it was time to start over, but I always figured it out.
So when I saw the update I was glad, I thought it would make it easier. But it’s more confusing than ever. And no dates.
Did you know that today is the 195th day of the year? I sure don’t keep track of my life this way.
This app is useless for me now.
Oh, and there is no app support. Try the link. If anyone knows how to uninstall this update, let me know.

I’m not. Jehovahs Witness

Great way to follow scripture and glean understanding when reading in chronologically.

I had one question: what are all of the references underneath each day’s readings? Are these from past Watchtower articles? If they are to help add insight to the reading I would be interested in reading further.
