  1. Lol! That sadly went over my head the first time
  2. @richietj77 what are you thinking is going to change about BBQ's? What about reasoning book?
  3. Ahh! Didn't think to check that other post. I'll have to catch up...it looks like a good read thanks to to you both!
  4. Has anyone heard any news about the announcements at the 2017 annual meeting? What's the 2017 year text? Please forgive my excitement here; there's only one thing I can count on to not change and that is: Jehovah will continue to change and refine the organization.
  5. JW Notes https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/jw-note/id1072063866?mt=8 It's programmed in 4 different languages right now and I dread updating the app every time because the amount of work involved in testing new versions.
  6. @Mykyl I'm sure your right From personal experience, there is an immense amount of work that goes into adding new features to apps. With each version of the app, app developers need to: Get the new feature programmed Get new text translated into all of the different languages You need to test the app using every possible scenario that the users may ever use it for. Sometimes new features can break the strangest things so you need to test EVERYTHING. The bigger the app, the longer this takes. Also don't forget that this testing needs to be done across every platform (iOS, Android and Windows Mobile) which is 3X the amount of work! (at least for iOS) If a new feature means that you need to take new screenshots then you need to take screenshots on 6 different devices (iPhone 4s, iPhone 5, iPhone 6s, iPhone 6s Plus, iPad and iPad Pro). Once you are done taking those screenshots in English, you then need to take identical screenshots for every language you program the app for. So if the app is programmed in 25 different languages and they need to take 5 screenshots then...... *5 screenshots* X *6 devices* X *25 languages* = 780 screenshots total! The most difficult part of this is how meticulous you need to be to make sure you test EVERYTHING and you don't miss 1 of the 780 screenshots you need! After releasing my own app on the app store, it has made my appreciation grow for the amount of work that goes into the JW Library app! @leoperales I just checked the JW Library's app's description and they have officially announced taking notes as a feature coming soon
  7. I would be shocked if they weren't working on a feature to make notes. That would be a great new feature
  8. First of all, when I saw this thread, I didn't realize that it was a revived thread from years ago. I'm glad you like our service! We are no longer associated with Madzay because the US $$ made things VERY expensive (among other things) but we still have some left over stock from Madzay for now.
  9. Is it working now? It links for me however I'm on my iPad. i can check to see if it's compatible with your device.
  10. I was asked to let everyone know when JW Notes was released for Android and it was just released today. Here's a link: JW Notes for iOS JW Notes for Android Here's a few features we're working on: Ability to download the talks for the convention Location to enter speakers name Optional ability to write notes with your figure rather than typing Feature requests and bug reports are very welcomed
  11. Here' s a link to my website PDH Artistic Designs: Creates ministry supplies in Canada
  12. Haha! I definitely did I also took the opportunity to pick on Sofia which was fun. I got to be that annoying brother that she's now happy she doesn't have lol! I did get in trouble once but I just said that she started it lol
  13. I wanted to post this because I'm sure people will get a laugh out of this. We had a congregation dress up party this evening and before I go on, I'm not the type that dresses up for this stuff but this time I had a REALLY good idea on what I could do to get involved. My name is Kaleb and there was a younger girl that would also be attending who's name is Sofia; I thought to myself that it would be a crime if we didn't dress up like Caleb and Sofia...so that's what we did. I also manage a print shop so I printed out life size versions of Caleb and Sofia for the kids to take pictures with which went over very well.
  14. I will have to speak to my developer and think very carefully on how we can accomplish including links to scriptures and the interactive schedule within the app because all of the publications that the society makes is copyrighted and I cannot copy it to use within my app. Maybe there is a way to "fetch" the bible verses from the JW Library app rather than including an entire copy of the entire bible within the JW Notes app because I'm sure the branch office won't appreciate me copying the NWT to use in my app. Because JW Notes was developed on behalf of my company and not me personally, we will certainly get a cease and desist if we go a step too far. No offence to the brothers in the legal department, but I try to avoid having contact with them whenever possible I'm certain I can add the list of talks in advance and have that as an update so people can simply start taking a note.
  15. @shali that's a neat feature. Do you have a screenshot by chance? The hardest thing is trying to find out how to organize things when making an app. We are very open towards feature requests
