After an update, it no longer does that. What happened? ### 5/5 — Love it!!!!! *2026-01-02, version 6.3.9* 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. ### 2/5 — update makes it useless *2026-01-02, version 6.3.9* 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. ### 5/5 — I’m not. Jehovahs Witness *2025-04-17, version 6.3.9* 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. ### 5/5 — New and improved *2025-03-12, version 6.3.9* This app had been very helpful for reading the Bible in one year. But this new revision is even better. I like the chronological reading. In this app revision, I like that I can start a specific day’s reading even if I don’t have time to finish it all. I can just check off the parts I did finish. Very nice! ### 3/5 — Update Not Good *2025-02-27, version 6.3.9* I love this app but ever since the update, it has made my Bible reading scheduled reading more difficult. I have been reading the Bible from cover to cover every year for the past 14 years. This is my first time using the app. I start with Genesis 1:1 on January 1st every year. When the app was updated, my target date got moved. This is because I am a little ahead of schedule. Now I had to turn off the target date because it was showing that my new target date was earlier than December 31st. I get a little ahead in order to compensate for times that I may not get to it daily. I would like it if you could allow the user to set a target date. There are many in my congregation using this app and now they are all calling me upset because they are experiencing the same issues as I do. Sincerely, M Dumais ### 4/5 — New Update is Ok *2025-02-27, version 6.3.8* Lost where I was after several years. But still opens in the app! ### 5/5 — Notification *2025-02-26, version 6.3.8* If i could get the notification or a reminder of the chapter i’m reading that would be nice! 🙏🏽 ### 3/5 — Update Not Good *2025-02-25* I love this app but ever since the update, it has made my Bible reading scheduled reading more difficult.

Sincerely, M Dumais ### 4/5 — Loving the app but… *2025-02-24, version 6.3.5* Really motiving to have an app that helps you read chronologically, have loved using it. But since the latest update I can no longer get it to open in JW Library to see my personal notes. Help! ## Frequently asked questions about NWT Reading ### What does NWT Reading do?
