App Update! Get the iPad Fix & More!

Hello TTW friends!
I've got news - we just launched an update to our mobile app, so go get it! There are a few minor fixes, and most importantly a big fix for anyone using an older device - especially old iPads. Some of the latest features were causing issues on older devices, so we made an update that should work for everyone. We've also added a few feature upgrades for new devices, so please get the update asap!

How to Get the App Update: Just open the App Store on your device, search for Through the Word, and hit update. Easy peasy.

That's it. Go get it! I added a little more info below for those of you looking for details, but the main thing is simple: go get the update!

See you on the journey,

What's Coming Next: The next big update is still a few weeks away, and will include new translations and better audio Bibles. It took us a few years and a surprising amount of work, but we finally got the licenses to add the NIV and CSB versions. We hope to launch those in a few weeks. We're so excited!

Why Older iPads Weren't Working: We are sorry for any frustrations caused by the iPad issue. Basically, older devices cannot load the newest version of iOS, which is the operating system. Sometimes new features don't work right on the old operating system, and it causes basic features to break down. You'll see the same thing on lots of apps (the Starbucks app shuts down on our old iPhone).  So it a balancing act for programmers to keep the app updated so that it has new features and works on the latest operating system - but also doesn't break down on old devices. However, it can be done, and we want everyone to be able to use TTW.

What to do if your TTW app doesn't work: Anytime you have trouble with any app, it always helps to make sure you have the latest version of the app, and also the latest version of iOS or Android. If you still have trouble with the TTW app, contact us at info@throughtheword.org and let us know about it. We want to help!

  2. Thank you, Through the Word team, for the fix. I can now use your app on my old iPad! My husband and I use your app every day. We so appreciate your ministry and all you do. We support you in prayer and financially. May the Lord bless your ministry and expand your reach! Joy and David
