I think having this setting on Standard fixes the problem mentioned above (Study Pane not showing side-by-side in landscape mode on iPhone):

 

On my Iphone it works in "standard" if you hold the phone in landscape position.  This is true even with my larger text size setting.

JW Library updated 12.5 on Android

Research Guide updates can be downloaded from the study pane of the Bible.
Several issues are fixed, including some causing the app to crash.

NOTE: Version 12.5 is the last version that supports Android 4.1, 4.2, 4.3, 4.4 and 5.0. If your device runs one of these older operating systems, you will need to update it to receive future versions of JW Library

My IOS devices also show the update to 12.5

 

My Windows devices just updated as well.

 

Thanks

Is your JWL on windows 10 working.

 

My JWL on windows 10 updated to 12.5.47 and hangs on loading.

 

Using resource monitor I saw it keeps on creating threads until it has created 781 threads and then does nothing after that. No CPU used at all. Looks like I'll have to wait for an update to fix it.

 

I re-installed JW Library and all works fine now. Make sure you back up your notes before installing the new version in case you need to re-install JW Library

How do you update the Research Guide from the study pane of the Bible?

I think it will become clear when the update is released.

Mine has updated today but I still do not know how to do it.

If research guide is not installed, opening a scripture (e.g. Matthew here) will cause a download pane to appear.

The information is in JW.ORG under the "support" tab in each version of JW Library.  I just put them together on one page.

Thanks, I thought this official “What’s New” page about JW Library might prove useful for me and others.

Thanks. Is the 2019 version the latest one?

Does anyone know if there is a way to "favorite" an article that you link to from within another publication? 

 

For example, in today's daily text, I clicked on the Watchtower article the comment was drawn from.  It was a tremendous article and I wanted to favorite it.  But there is no way to do it other than memorizing the month/year of the issue, going to the "publications" tab, clicking on Watchtower, searching for the month and year, then favoriting it.  

 

I'd like to just favorite it without having to go to the publications tab and searching for it.

You can make a note next to the title tag it with a star as favorite,  than you can find them under the personal study tab

In my experience, I can only see bookmarks when I'm in the actual publication itself.

Excellent idea, thank you!

The JW Library app updated on my Windows PC but not on my Ipad or Android phone.  It was a very small incremental update.

 

It went from 12.5.47 to 12.5.48 which is incredibly small numbering change.
