Including the Examining the Scriptures Daily, Insight Volumes, Reasoning Book, Song Book, Bible Concordance, Ministry School book and more. Easily switch between languages by swiping left/right. You can even view maps and listen to piano and vocal audio.
Ever wanted to save the article you were reading on the Watchtower Online Library (WOL) and have it saved so it was always available … offline? ANY article on WOL? Now you can and it's so easy. You can organise the articles by topic, order them in lists, and group them under headings. You can even share your collections of articles with others.
Do you like to stay on top of the latest updates on JW.org? Or to see when the latest magazines are released in EPUB, PDF or audio formats? The News module aggregates RSS and Podcast feeds from JW.org to keep you informed.
Equipd is like a beautifully crafted - but empty - bookcase. Once it is installed you can start filling it up with source material from www.jw.org. Equipd is tightly integrated with the Watchtower Online Library (WOL), allowing you to cache content on demand and read the Bible and publications offline, where-ever you are. You can quickly jump from anywhere in Equipd to the WOL website to view the original source material.
The only exception to this are the alternate Bible Translations such as the King James Version, American Standard Version, World English Bible, and 23 other alternate Bible versions. The files for these versions are stored on the Equipd servers.
I would love to hear how you are using and benefiting from Equipd. Please submit feedback via the Equipd Support Forums. You can also keep up with the latest news via Twitter or Facebook.

This is your Briefcase. Find articles on the WOL Website, save them to your Briefcase and have them with you ... filed by topic ... offline ... always.
You can customise the default language used by the Watchtower Online Library browser in Admin > Websites. There is no multi-language mode for the Briefcase - just save articles in the languages you require.
Ever wanted to save the article you were reading on WOL and have it saved so it was always available … offline? ANY article on WOL? Now you can and it's so easy. All you need to do is:
Equipd will automatically detect the article Title and the article Reference, but you can change them if you like. The article is now permanently stored in Equipd, available offline whenever you need it.
Your Briefcase comes with some default Topics already setup - but you can add new ones, rename or delete existing ones, and re-order Topics how you like! Ideal for creating lists of articles on specific subjects - Pioneering, Shepherding, Experiences - you name it!
You can also change the lists of articles inside a Topic. You can reorder the articles, rename or delete articles - or even to add a heading above an article to group articles in the list.
To edit the Topics or Articles in a list click the "pencil" icons shown in the top/left of each section. From here you can re-order items, delete items, or click the icon with the pencil to edit the existing topic or article. Just try it, you will see how easy it is.
Once you have collated a list of articles on a specific topic, you may want to share the list with friends or family. Click the action (arrow) button top/right and "Share List". This will generate an email that contains links to each article in your list. It also has a link at the bottom of the email that another user of Equipd can use to import the list into Equipd in one step.
After all that work creating collections of articles you won't want to lose them! Go into Admin > Briefcase and email a backup of your entire Briefcase to yourself. This will only backup your lists of Topics and references inside them, not the article content which you can easily redownload in the future if you ever need to restore your Briefcase.
