Japanese NWT 2019 issues

invalid@example.com (Evan Judd) — Sat, 05 Jul 2025 04:05:27 +0000

First off, thank you for all your hard work on this app. I just downloaded today in order have side by side English and Japanese with furigana since JW Library does not support that.
I’m not sure if these are new issues introduced by the new Japanese revision or not, but I am experiencing multiple issues with the 2019 revision.

Some issues are with furigana including:

No furigana above some kanji (ex. Eph. 6:9 - no furigana for 脅「おど」)
Redundant furigana on kana expression (ex....

Extensive Scripture Note shows up as a “Blank” white screen

invalid@example.com (Spiritual Element 79) — Sat, 31 Aug 2024 00:17:51 +0000

One particular scripture note in Rev 17:11 shows up completely blank as if no text is in it. But this scripture contains a long very extensive note.
If you go to the Bible Book list of notes, you can view it there, but nothing shows up if you go directly the usual way to the Bible verse.

couldn’t find any mention of this problem in the Equip’d Bible forums.

Scripture note with scripture links error

invalid@example.com (DebClair) — Sat, 31 Aug 2024 00:15:59 +0000

(These are phone photos of my screen because my iPad camera is toast.)
..Opened the note on Ge3:15. Tapping scripture links works normally until I tap the Ge6:1,2 scripture link, which gives the error displayed in the first picture. Acknowledged the error, then scripture Ge6:1,2 displays. After that, tapping Joh scripture link in the same text box doesn't display Joh scripture, instead the main screen goes to that scripture, see main screen displayed behind text box. Same for 1Jo, Ju, Ga....

V14.1 Jw Lib update Pinyin scripture links not working

invalid@example.com (Eva) — Mon, 06 Nov 2023 19:42:15 +0000

The jw library app v 14.1 finally allows you to see Pinyin when available. Pinyin is available in the App for the meeting information and other selected publications but the Chinese Bible is not currently available in pinyin.

I want to copy a scripture in the Chinese pinyin Watchtower then open equipd to see the scripture there.

If I use the Jw library English watchtower, this feature still works, but it is no longer working using Chinese and doesn’t work in Chinese pinyin watchtower....

Scrolling Not Working in Single Bible View

invalid@example.com (William Hurley) — Fri, 03 Nov 2023 03:09:28 +0000

I am using ios 17.0.3. After downloading the latest version of Equipd Bible today, I am not able to scroll the NW Revised in Mandarin Bible in Single Bible view. If I add a second Bible and then remove it, I can scroll again. But, if I select another chapter or book, the scrolling is disabled again. Do I have a setting incorrect somewhere?

Definition lookup in verse note locks up Equipd

invalid@example.com (DebClair) — Thu, 02 Nov 2023 23:04:55 +0000

Using the dictionary while editing a verse note causes Equipd to freeze. The lookup is performed but I cannot return to the note window or get any other response from Equipd. I have to completely close the app & restart. The note edits made prior to the freeze event are lost.

Load new Bibles in Brazilian Portuguese

invalid@example.com (Gutemberg Maciel) — Sun, 11 Jul 2021 17:45:42 +0000

Hi, my name is Gutemberg.
I hope everyone is okay.

I'm trying to load a Bible titled “Easy to Read” in brazilian portuguese that I bought from Amazon and also from the Apple Store, but I can't load it into the app. Every time I try to load it, it presents the following: "This Bible only makes the Greek Scriptures available - Matthew the Revelation (Revelation)." But it doesn't even feature the Greek scriptures.

Can someone help me?

Hi I love your app and use it everyday, but I think you might need to delete a few unnecessary files.

I was trying to get your app working with my M1 Mac and couldn't get it to import a Bible so I started poking around to see where they are stored. I came across a few at this location.

I think you might have accidentally included some epub files you didn't mean to. It might be a good idea to take a look when you have time and remove...

Left margin or padding may not be applied

invalid@example.com (SG Han) — Thu, 14 Jan 2021 19:25:09 +0000

Left margin or padding CSS properties may not be applied for the text lines that begin with a verse number in Equipd Bible App. The text lines that do not begin with verse number look good, both sides are looking similar. Only problems are on the text lines that begin with a verse number. Please see the attached image of the split view of iPad mini 5. The left side is JW Library and the right, Equipd Bible. Both show Psalm 36. View attachment 800

Search not supporting characters with an umlaut

invalid@example.com (iMatt) — Fri, 11 Dec 2020 19:30:16 +0000

The search tool is not supporting alphabet characters with an umlaut such as "Jọses" and "Zebedạ̈us".

Corrections to Pinyin

invalid@example.com (Klarika) — Sat, 24 Oct 2020 06:25:46 +0000

CHS NWT Matthew 28:19, instead of “dishang” for 地上， pinyin has “de shang”. Newer learners may read an important verse aloud incorrectly. Though “de” is a correct alternate pinyin/pronunciation for 地, not correct here. Romanization correct in bi12.

Blank Scripture History

invalid@example.com (Spiritual Element 79) — Mon, 14 Oct 2019 01:33:46 +0000

My scripture history disappears to a blank white screen.
Not sure what makes this happen.
I just powered down and then back up, that restored it.
Other times, it re-appeared over night.
First noticed it about 3 or 4 days ago.

I use the History function every day.
Numerous times at meetings.
A very valuable feature!

Trouble copy/paste into word/pages

invalid@example.com (Rick Sweares) — Sun, 13 Oct 2019 20:24:15 +0000

Today at the circuit assemble I was trying to paste scriptures into word and also pages and this is what I was getting....
Galatians 6:10 — So, then, as long as we have the opportunity, let us work what is good toward all, but especially toward those related to us in the faith.

Any Thoughts? I have never had this issue before.
By the way, love all your hard work on this app.

Issues installing Bibles using iOS 13

invalid@example.com (iMatt) — Sat, 05 Oct 2019 20:21:15 +0000

Important!
This issue is no longer relevant. Since version 4.1.0 of the app, there is a new internal browser that makes it a lot easier to install Bibles and Schedules. To use this new browser:

1. Click on the settings icon top / left of the Bible window.
2. At the bottom click the "Download and install new Bibles" button.
3. This is just like a normal browser - type in the website you want to visit and download the EPUB file you...
