It'll be available on the new Android N natively.

At this point I use some hacks on Android 6.0 to achieve that.

Talking about Android "N" due this summer?  I picked the name "Nutella" for its common moniker.

Thanks for info. Interesting. JW Library told me I have to upgrade to Windows 10 in order for me to get updates!  I  have a 2 in 1 Asus 8.1 computer I can use it like a tablet because it comes apart and I use it for meeting. However, Windows 10 cannot upgrade due to not enough storage space. Anybody else have same situation and how can you free up space?  JW Library does take up a lot of space. I have deleted a lot of  stuff already but still no room. Any feedback would be appreciated. Thanking you in advance.

I think you can use a SD Card or USB drive as a storage area for the upgrade.

[cresyj]

Thanks I will upgrade to my USB. But does that now mean that to access JW Library I will have USB connected to access it at meetings? 

 

[peper-eliot]

No... it's just a USB storage to allow the upgrade process to windows 10.

After, you can remove it

Microsoft had announced that the "free" upgrade to Windows 10 will end in July (I believe).  So brothers wanting to upgrade should not wait too long.

You might also be able to remove your ASUS recovery partition. I did on mine.  Windows 10 has its own recovery system.

I have Windows 10 on my desktop.  I downloaded JWLibrary app to my desktop computer a long time ago.  It sits right there next to Watchtower Library 2015.  I am not sure I will need the Watchtower Library next year.  Using JWLibrary and JW.ORG may be sufficient.

For now I like both on to my windows 10 devices (tablet,  desktop and laptop computers). JW Library has all the current material to be downloaded and used for off line use and 2015 wtlib has deeper resources for off line viewing (hopefully will change in future for recent material). And online library for the newer material that's not on JW Library. So for now I like the 3 ways for obtaining literature. Not to mention the JW broadcasting website. We are really spiritually fed well.

Awakes are now being added to the library.

It happened to me but it refreshed and came back. 

[Pavlos]

It's remaining the same to me, even if refresh, even if I restart the app. 

[Alexa]

all my gadget do the same

[shali]

Me too.  By the way, I noticed that my "refresh" button got up and left a couple of updates ago.  How do you refresh now without it? Do you just hope it does it on it's own? 

[richietj77]

In my gadget (Android 5.1.1), it appeared that way, refresh many times, still blank. I suspect server-side change, as it is first day of month. Rest of the app works fine.

 

And the famous "Convention Releases" section appeared under by type. (Nope, not touching it until August 26-28)

Dragging down the screen and releasing it.

That doesn't seem to do anything on my Android phone.  I'll have to see if it is operational on my tablet.

[jwhess]

Yesterday I tried the "swipe down from the top" method and it worked.  I had trouble finding the right spot to swipe down from but it eventually worked on my tablet.  I can't seem to get it to work on my phone.  When I tried to get the process to work on my tablet today, I don't see any results.  I do not know if this is because I already refreshed and nothing is new or something else.

[shali]

Yes, grabbing the far right of the screen works to refresh my tablet and my phone.  Still have the "no new publications" screen on both afterward though.

[Hope]

Same with my devices, as well.  I don't think I'm a fan of the swipe method to refresh over the button we used to have.  Try easily explaining "swipe down to refresh" to one's 80 yr old, not very handy mom over the phone...

Mine is blank again and the refresh doesn't help.
