We are constantly working to add new features and improve the user experience. JW Library is opened on 8 million devices every day and on over 15 million devices every month! What is needed to keep the app running smoothly on those devices? Brother Willies explains: “A mobile app is never truly finished. Since then, our brothers have enhanced the app in several ways, adding videos, assembling all publications and media for congregation meetings under one tab, and allowing users to access Research Guide references directly from a Bible verse. By January 2015, most of our current publications in English were available in the app, and just six months later, users could download those publications in hundreds of other languages. The next challenge was to turn the app into a real library featuring more publications and more languages. We prayed often, and with Jehovah’s help the app was released at the annual meeting just five months later!” “But we assembled a team, suspended a few projects, and worked with other departments to design and build the app and its content. “Until then, we had not released a mobile app on any of the app stores,” relates Paul Willies, who works with MEPS Programming. In May 2013, the Governing Body asked MEPS Programming, a world headquarters department, to develop an app containing the revised New World Translation.
