JW App Stats

So how high will the JW App climb up the App Store download charts on Monday?

Will it be high enough to register on any third party lists of what's hot?

Can you imagine what the WTS would make of it being on the front page of the App Store?

It is time for someone to create some other apps for JW's, too!

I'm also willing to bet the blessed app will include some spyware And there will be lots of automatic updates, and maybe they will grant themselves access to your cloud!

The app is up on the stores. As far as I can see it's just the Bible so far. The app has several translations on it. Not much to see here...

[EDIT] - There are appendicies which have pretty pictures.

Next up is... App for automatic monthly contributions? Local service industry jobs search? Local gas prices? Zoomable online maps for field service with territories, do not calls, apostates, do not enter, etc, clearly marked off? Online house to house and return visit tracking which auto-uploads to a master TWS database? Daily reading program that suggests, tracks (and uploads) how much quantity time you've spent with the publications? Visited-site cookies auto-uploader (?). JW Singles search? What else...

I just saw a feed on fb b/w 2 jw's having a go at each other coz one commented & posted a pic of the app downloading the new bible before the GB said they were allowed to. i don't want to post the whole feed for obvious reasons but one of them made this comment which I found amusing:

I agree co-operate with the GB. The GB asked no comments until Monday. The GB doesn't want us to keep it secret forever, otherwise that would be like the apostates think about us, that we are some secret society. They only wanted our co-operation for not talking about it on social media for the weekend.

if only they knew about the secrets the gb has kept from them....

It's still quite surreal for me that the WTS is releasing 'apps' and allowing ipads into the halls etc. So much different than when I was in.

How can you find out where the app is in the charts?
