Features & Capabilities

NWT Reading is a Chrome extension that provides a Bible reading schedule for the New World Translation (NWT) of the Holy Scriptures, designed for Jehovah's Witnesses. It supports the entire NWT in all available languages, including sign languages, and opens scriptures in the JW Library app. It tracks your reading progress, shows how many days you are ahead or behind, and offers reading plans: canonical, in the order the books were written, and chronological. You can set a reading speed or read without a fixed end date.

It highlights key dates in the chronological plan, shows locations mentioned in each section and where to find them in the brochure See the Good Land, and allows running multiple plans in parallel. It includes a dark mode for comfortable reading, is open source on GitHub, and supports UI languages such as Czech, English, French, German, Hungarian, Italian, Polish, Portuguese (Brazil), Romanian, Russian, and Spanish. JW Library is a registered trademark of the Watch Tower Bible and Tract Society of Pennsylvania.

User Reviews

The app is valued for its chronological reading, progress tracking, and JW Library integration with a clean, easy-to-use design. However, users repeatedly report data resets after updates, scheduling/date management problems, missing reminders/backups/accessibility features, lack of cross-device sync, and occasional compatibility issues. Addressing these areas could significantly improve reliability and user experience.
Pros
  • Chronological Bible reading feature and a clear one-year pace.
  • Strong progress tracking with checklists, today’s reading indicator, and completion goals.
  • Flexible flow: start from a specific day, resume where you left off, and continue later.
  • Good integration with JW Library and access to timelines/hyperlinks.
  • Clean, simple design that makes daily reading easy to use.
Cons
  • Updates often reset progress and erase schedules, causing loss of tracked readings.
  • Scheduling and date management can be finicky; manual start/end dates are not easily set and target dates can drift.
  • Missing reminders/notifications and some accessibility options (no reminders, no backup option, need for dark mode/Larger text).
  • No cross-device synchronization (no easy sync between iPhone and iPad) to keep progress consistent.
  • Occasional compatibility or reliability issues on certain devices or after updates.

I used to be able to press the reading for the day and it go straight to the Bible. After an update, it no longer does that. What happened?

It’s so organized! Can’t imagine the time that went into this! In the future could it be done to where if you have already started a schedule you can just put where you want to start from and continue from there in chronological order.

I’ve been using this app for years. Sometimes it got confusing when it was time to start over, but I always figured it out. So when I saw the update I was glad, I thought it would make it easier. But it’s more confusing than ever. And no dates. Did you know that today is the 195th day of the year? I sure don’t keep track of my life this way. This app is useless for me now. Oh, and there is no app support. Try the link. If anyone knows how to uninstall this update, let me know.
