## JW Library Reviews in South Africa

### ***** "Best app always and ever"
No app compared to this app..It gives all I need,and all anyone who wants to live right and well
-- B.G.Johnson, 2025-01-06

### ****- "Improvements on the app"
1. The app is really great. But it would be nice if Daily Text had an icon where you can star⭐️(favourite) a text that really touched you or encourage you. 

2. On Personal Study section, we can’t find the old notes that we have wrote unless we delete the ones we just wrote recently. It would be wonderful if we could be able to scroll through the deck of notes to find the previous ones.
-- Reenahh, 2025-01-05

### ***** "Best App"
Hi developers thank you so much for this wonderful app. We find everything in one place. Videos of all age groups are available. If possible when playing videos can you please add a lock screen function thank you.
-- Tim liam, 2024-12-08

### ***** "Jw library"
The most translated app in the world
-- sizibavusi, 2024-11-28

### ***** "Amazing app 1 suggestion for a update"
No complaints at all 

Is it possible to make a sign in section so that your data can be carried over to other devices .. for instance preparations done on my one phone is all lost when i get a new one .. or preparation done on my ipad could carry over to my phone 

Hopefully this helps for a future update
-- Jayden’s honest reviews, 2024-11-24

### ***** "Full Screen"
Everything works perfectly , however the videos don’t display 100% full on screen! 

I’m Using IPhone 13
-- Phumuza, 2024-11-14

### ***** "Better and Better"
This app just keeps getting better and better. I Love it thank you 🙏. 

Is it possible that the app could have like a google login so that when one looses their phone but then login to a different phone, all their highlighted data and notes can be automatically loaded back? Just a suggestion not complaining:) 

💙🩵💙🩵
-- LadyD ✨, 2024-11-03

### ***** "I want more improvements"
I will like too see more bookmark for instance a 100 or so, to bookmark all my favourites scriptures so I can find them way easier if I may forget.

Another thing I want to see more off, like the watchtower we’re you now get the boxes we’re you can write your answers, if you can do the same with all the books and the research books that doesn’t have audio reading, if you guys can please add audio to everything on the jw library as well, since it helps me to focus better, when I do personal study and want to dig deeper into a specific subject
-- ruanevantonder, 2024-08-01

### ***** "Thanks"
Thank you Jehovah I love you
-- LOL lady diva, 2024-07-30

### ***** "10/10"
I love the new feature that shows my highlighted verses even on the reference page. The new layout for publications is top tier. Thank you
-- Foodie. james foodie, 2024-07-08

### ***** "Best App Ever"
Thank you for the App, it amazing how many books are available for free and in so many languages, it must be very expensive to maintain this app and thank you for making it accessible for free.

On the latest update, I noticed that under the meetings tab, the shortcuts to the song book and other books used regularly at meeting are no longer available.

I now have to save all these books under favorites to access them easily. I understand if this is part of the latest update, but will surely miss this feature.

Thanks again for such a gift.

Regards
Brian N
South Africa
-- Btscreativezone, 2024-06-30

### ****- "No info on Meetings section"
Hello. I use an IOS device and I’ve noticed that the meetings section does not load information even if I change the dates and I have the latest update. Is it my phone or is something else wrong? Please help
-- Hle176, 2024-06-18

### ****- "All but one"
Thank you for the app. It works fine. There’s just one issue on iOS. The audio pauses when the screen turns off or when you exit the app. So when playing music, you cannot switch apps or turn the screen off. I’m sure if it’s the settings or it’s a bug.
-- El_MDK, 2024-06-18

### ***** "❤️Amazing App🥰 Inside Story Class 154"
Dear Brothers,

I don’t know which email to send this email to but I hope this will get me assistance.

I searched both on jw.org and JW library app but could not find Inside Story for Class 154. 

Your assistance will be highly appreciated.

Kind regards
-- Tingwe, 2024-05-15

### ***** "A Bug on Viewing Footnotes"
Brothers, there seems to be a bug in the iOS app version. When viewing a footnote in the scripture I can’t seem to return to the verse without the app crashing. This has happened a few times when doing my Bible reading. 

Thank you in advance.
-- Nkanyisorocks, 2024-04-16

### ***** "Merging notes and underlining across devices."
Is there anyway to merge across multiple devices ones notes and underlining.
-- -"JP"-, 2024-04-07

### ***** "Previous version download"
Beautiful App.
Please make it possible for us to download previous versions of the JW App. My son owns an IPhone 6 and he can’t install the App as it requires current IOS version.
-- Tebza01, 2024-01-18

### ***** "Awesome App"
Thank you for the hard work thats been done on JW Library. Best provision from Jehovah.

Just a suggestion for future, if possible. In the Study Watchtower, can the HOW WOULD YOU ANSWER? Summary Questions be placed in side panel?

If you want to scroll up to answer out a paragraphs, then you dont have to scroll down again.

Thank you very much!
-- Velda_dj, 2023-12-01

### ***** "Amazing!!"
There is no better app,my entire family are Jehovah witnesses so i found this app quite fast
-- sub2 axelthelibra, 2023-11-12

### ***** "Best Bible study app by far!"
Being a student of the Bible for the past 30 years, I can confirm that this app contains some of the most accurate Bible study and research tools available today. It's translated into more languages than any other app of its kind, and despite the premium experience it gives users, its completely free. Definitely try out the new Study Bible, the additional study notes are mind blowing.
