Saved on this device
Looking for saved pages…
This browser can't keep pages for use without a connection. A current Chrome, Edge, Safari or Firefox can.
Nothing is saved on this device yet
Open the Aa menu at the top of the page and choose “Save key pages for offline” (you need a connection for that). The pages you open are kept too.
Weak signal? No problem
How the site works without a connection
Made for weak signals: church basements, country roads and the long drive to the assembly.
-
Pages you open are kept
The last 80 pages you opened on this device open again without a connection. Audio, video and pictures from other sites (covers, thumbnails) need one.
-
Save key pages before you go
One tap in the Aa menu saves Meetings, this month's toolkit and district report, the GVR / RLV 101 sessions, Share your story, Published writers with the Texas archive, the Shop and the Tracker, in your language.
-
Use less data
Turn on Data saver in the Aa menu: images, video previews and the moving art stay off until you ask for them.
Step by step

Already have an icon with a small Chrome logo? That's a shortcut: remove it and choose Install instead. Still a Chrome logo after Install? Try once more on Wi-Fi or a good signal; if it comes back, keep it: it works too.
Tapped Install or Add and no icon appeared? Look in your list of apps first. Not there? Some phones (Xiaomi, Redmi, POCO and others) let a browser add icons only with permission: in Settings, open Apps, then your browser (on Xiaomi, Redmi and POCO: Other permissions), and allow Home screen shortcuts (the name varies by phone). Then try again. Does the browser's menu offer to open the app instead of installing it? Then it's already on this phone.

Why install it
The same site, one tap away
-
Its own icon
On your home screen and in your list of apps. It opens without the browser's bars, like any app.
-
In your language
Installed from a Spanish page, it opens in Spanish; from an English page, in English.
-
Always up to date
It is this same site, and we keep it updated regularly: there's nothing to update from a store.
Good to know
- Free, with no account and no app store. Your settings and saved pages stay on your phone; nothing is sent anywhere.
- On Android, touch and hold the icon to go straight to Meetings, Monthly toolkit or GVR / RLV 101.
- To remove it, touch and hold its icon, then choose Uninstall (Android) or Delete Bookmark (iPhone).
