Updates to JW Library (iOS, Android, Windows)

[trottigy]

It doesn't switch between languages as fluid as eQuipd did, but at least there is the availability for some of the publications in other languages. It's too bad the book we are studying in the CBS for Vietnamese is NOT available - Keep Yourselves in God's Love. Instead they chose the one being studied in English - Draw Close to God. I am betting that was just a simple oversight of not checking what is being studied in each language.

Are you studying the Draw Close book again? When you study the second book with a student in Vietnamese what is it?

Go update now. It is more than I wanted and I love the brothers so much. All the videos can now be downloaded into our device. It is a blessing from Jehovah. I am now going to go and enjoy.

Yes, all the videos in English can be DL'd now. Maybe soon all the languages the videos are available in

No, we are not studying the "Draw Close" book. We are studying the "God's Love" book. It is also the second book we study with a Bible student in both English and Vietnamese.

New update as of today, updating now

[Margaret]

Android?

[Nzer133]

One video I SOO LOVE (which is available on Jw Broadcast and the app) is TOUR OF THE SOUTH AFRICA MAINTENANCE DEPARTMENT. The animation the Brothers done was so cheeky:D actually did anyone notice how the Brothers done the Jw.org logo in older videos? Their sense of humor is refreshingly Human. It reminds me about angels who didn't write the Bible because they wouldn't understand human ideas. This is the same.

So, the W library with additional languages (more than 60) is on the road! A great step... version 1.4.0

IPad users are the lucky of the day ;)

[peper-eliot]

But, I think that it's a little issue of publishing the 1.4 on the different platforms. Should have been available for the first Monday of the month, with a special announcement in the monthly program (my guess)

 

Ps : admin can merge this two post ;)

My iPhone updated about 4 hours ago & you can put the videos away so that they don't take any room on your phone.

Yes, please explain?   ...  " & you can put the videos away so that they don't take any room on your phone. "

 

 

Since it's on a small phone or tablet, in order to save space - are the higher resolutions really needed?   ...   or can we get away with just downloading 240?

I hadn't noticed this before, is this a new feature in the update?

On an iPad, select a word and you will get the usual popup menu with the options "Copy, Define, Topics, Search". I hadn't noticed the "Topics" option before. It doesn't appear with every word, and I'm guessing this is linked to the index.

Taping the "Topics" option gives you this menu.

I apologise if this is an old feature that everyone, except me, knew of.

I like the additional languages, and the enhanced publications section including the option to download videos from JW Broadcasting. Just in time for February's program.

I'd love the addition of the Study Watchtower, plus the ability to highlight and attach notes, etc. Plus the ability to display multiple Bible verses in different languages in a similar way that Equipd did. I use that a lot in Field Service.

Oh, and the ability to sort publications by name or date.

The topics feature doesn't happen for Android. Just copy, and Web search is all for Android

[Bosko]

Anyone know how many languages this new version have?

For example books?

[bohemian]

I just checked the Czech option and there are just 2 books.

About 35, but it may depend on the publication. The screenshots below are for "Books".

[Bosko]

There doesn't appear to be too much in Croatian at this stage, but I'm sure that will change.

There is also a feature to update your publications. When a current item is out of date and you try to open it you are given the option to download the new version. There's also a "Pending Updates" section to download all updates at once in the "Downloaded" section if you have at least one update available.

[Bosko]

For now it's enough.

I'm glad to have this.

Only what I would like to have now is watchtower study edition.
