Your message includes helpful device information that helps us assist you faster.
For detailed bug reports or feature requests, you can also submit an issue on GitHub:
How do I get the Daily Text content?
Download the "Examining the Scriptures Daily" EPUB from jw.org. Search for the publication, select the current year, choose "Text" under Download Options, then select "EPUB" format. Once downloaded, open DailyGlance and tap "Select EPUB File" to import it.
How do I add a widget to my Home Screen?
Touch and hold an empty area on your Home Screen until the apps jiggle. Tap the + button in the top corner, search for "DailyGlance", choose your preferred size (Small, Medium, or Large), and tap "Add Widget".
Why isn't my widget showing content?
Make sure you've imported an EPUB file for the current year. Open the DailyGlance app and check that the daily text is displaying correctly. If the EPUB is from a different year, download the current year's publication from jw.org.
How do I customize the widget appearance?
Open the app and use the customization options: choose a Style (Classic or Date Focused), select Colors (System or Custom), pick a Font (Default, Serif, or Rounded), and adjust the Text Size slider.
Do I need to download a new EPUB each year?
Yes. The "Examining the Scriptures Daily" publication is released annually with new content for each year. When the new year begins, download the new EPUB from jw.org and import it into DailyGlance.
What widget sizes are available?
DailyGlance offers Small (scripture reference), Medium (reference and text), and Large (full daily text with commentary) widgets. Choose the size that best fits your Home Screen.

The daily text itself never leaves your device. The publication you import or download is stored and parsed on your device, and your widget settings and read state are stored locally using iOS App Groups. We have no server that holds your content, and there is no account to sign in to.
DailyGlance uses Firebase Analytics (a Google service) to understand how the app is used. It records usage events — that a widget style was chosen, or that a download succeeded or failed — along with an app-instance identifier, device model and iOS version. It never records the scripture or commentary you were reading. This is not used for advertising, and the app does not track you across other companies' apps or websites. Analytics is active by default and the app does not currently offer a setting to turn it off.
If you use Send Feedback, we receive your message, your email address only if you choose to enter it, the app version, your device model and your iOS version — plus a technical description of the error if you are reporting a failed import. We use it to reply and to fix the problem, and we do not sell it or pass it on.
Downloads happen directly between your device and jw.org. DailyGlance does not proxy, host or mirror any publication, and we do not receive a copy of what you download. As with visiting any website, jw.org receives your device's IP address. The app also refreshes its list of available languages from this site, which is hosted on GitHub Pages.
Optional tip jar purchases are processed entirely by Apple through the App Store. We do not have access to your payment information.
