Problem with JWLib app

[GrumpysWife]

Has anyone else been having problems using it at meetings? When I load it up it is so slow looking up the scriptures. I can find them faster using my paper bible. It also keeps freezing up when I first start it up.

Do you have an iPad

[Musky]

Mine still works as it always has, I can get to the scriptures faster then those with a hard copy Bible. Maybe you have something running in the background that is using up resources?

I have an iPad. Before the meeting, I, "clear" it up. You'd be surprised at everything that is open. Any thing you have accessed since the last meeting. Plus, turn the sound off. We now have internet at the hall. I still do fine. Can take notes look up scriptures, and have the person next to me in the hard copy bible check my notes on the scripture we are reading.

The jw.org app is working fine for me but I've been having problems with the km's and the ePub reader. The other issue I've had is even though I turn the sound off every once in awhile my tablet will give some kind of alert in the middle of the meeting That has happened several times and upset me pretty much.

If you have an Android tablet, get "persist" I have found it to be the most reliable volume or sound control app on the market. One tap and it mutes everything! You can't even accidentally un-mute the sound by pressing the volume up or down buttons, which was always my problem with other apps. It locks the tablet in the mute position until you hit another icon to un-mute it.

My jw library updated itself - now there is a sort of history on left side.

I updated the app the other day (Android), and now it crashes the first time I try to open it, but opens fine when I try it a second time (this has happened twice in as many days).

This has happened a number of times to me too. Not sure why.

Android updated 2 times in past week. The current version has daily text & songbook Plus a Recent item ( left top corner tap to open up these additional features )

I remember back around 1993 when I received a set of some 15 3½" floppy disks containing the New World Translation. Only the NWT, nothing more. No indexes, no cross references, nothing but the NWT. They were published by the society.

 

Today we have a CD that is updated yearly (this year leave some questions).

 

My point? The society doesn't wait until they have the final form worked out. The JWLib app we have today will be a relic in a very short time. Count on it. You can be sure the brothers are working very hard to improve it as the two updates this week show.

I still have a brand new set of these on 5 1/4"  floppies (The soft ones)

I wish I still had my old "punch cards" from the programs I wrote in the late 1960's - the computer was an IBM 360 and took the largest portion of a rather large building on the college campus ....... those were the days

Oh they were most certainly not "the days". That's the rose tinted water your currently drowning in giving you false memories.

The app is working great for me now, I just love Jehovah's Organization. They are so working to help make things easier for us. The KM in epub is awesome.
