## Description

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.

## Review summary

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.
