Hello TTW fam. Pastor Kris here with an important update. We have temporarily removed our TTW app from the Android app stores. Recent updates to the Android system have caused our audio player to have significant issues on Android devices, and we are working hard now to fix all issues. This change will not remove the app from your device, and all current users can continue to use the app as before. However, you will not be able to download the app from the app store onto new devices, and new users will not be able to get TTW on Android. While you are waiting, you can access many of our audio guides and plans in two great places:
- The new Bible Audio Guide podcast has Journeys 1 and 2, with more on the way. Use these links to find the podcast on Apple Podcasts, Google Podcasts, or Spotify.
- The YouVersion Bible app has more than 50 TTW plans. Just search their plans for "Explained" for our book plans, or "19 Journeys" to find our first two Journeys (with more on the way).
TTW will be back in the Android app store soon, and we are working hard now to fix all issues. Thanks for your patience and your prayers - we appreciate it! In other news...

iPhone App Update = Lots of Player Fixes
We just launched a major update to our iPhone app with a bunch of great fixes and upgrades to the audio player. The Android update is in the works now, so please pray for our programmer Zach as he makes progress there. Here is a list of the upgrades you'll find:
- Bluetooth: Works great in your car, on Alexa, etc.
- Lockscreen Audio Player: Now you can pause, ffwd, etc from your iPhone lock screen
- Autoplay: Now the autoplay keeps going when your screen is locked or dark.
- PreAudio: Won't keep playing repeatedly on the same plan.
- Get the TTW update in the iPhone App Store
(And while you're in the app store, please rate and review TTW! Every 5-star rating helps us reach more people - so thanks!)

Journey #'s are Changing by One!
As of last Tuesday, all Journey numbers just went up by one number. That's because we added a new Journey #1! Well, technically we split the old Journey #2, and moved half of it to Journey #1. So now there will be a total of 19 Journeys instead of 18. Now the new 19 Journeys start like this:
Journey #1 | Start (Mark & Colossians. Formerly part of Foundations).
Journey #2 | The Big Picture (Overview the Bible. Formerly Journey #1)
Journey #3 | Foundations (Genesis, Daniel, Romans)
- Note that Daniel was added and Mark & Colossians moved to J#1.
Journey #4 | Law & Grace (unchanged)...
The rest are the same as before, just bumped up by one number.
If you were subscribed to Foundations... your progress should be saved, but your plan has now been split into two parts (the new Journey #1 | Start, and Journey #3 | Foundations).
Note: If you don't see those plans on your Home page, go to the Browse page and subscribe again. Your progress will still be there, but the app may have unsubscribed you by accident when the update was made.
If you were subscribed to any other Journey... you don't need to do anything. The journey number will automatically go up by one.
Here's why we made the update: After much prayer and careful consideration, we decided that brand new listeners should start their Bible journey with the story of Jesus - before they get an overview of the whole Bible. The change will also bring the app Journeys onto the same plan that we are now launching on YouVersion and our new Bible Audio Guide Podcast, so that all platforms have the same plans. We do apologize for any confusion, and appreciate your understanding as we take this important step moving forward. Please let us know if you experience any frustration or confusion as the change moves forward. Email us at help@throughtheword.org.

It has the same great Audio Guides that you find on TTW, and each season on the podcast will be one of our Journeys on the TTW app. Journey 1 is up now!
