Synchronize publications between my devices
I prepare on my desktop and then take my tablet PC to the meeting. I want to have the prepared publication on every device. Let them upload to OneDrive automatically.

Thank you so much for this app, it is by far my favorite tool for studying for the meetings. I very happy to see the smoothing of the highlighting and I have been using it since then. The only improvement I think that is necessary is syncing device.

This is the only reason I do not use JW Reader, at the moment I use Fiction Book Reader which allows me to sync all my books and any underlining or notes I make, so I study on my main PC, underline and make notes, when I pick up my tablet all my underlining and notes are synced.
Fiction book reader do charge £1.50 a year for this because they use Azure, Book Visor reader also has syncing and does not charge as they use OneDrive.

A great comment Roger made. If you only save RTF to the one drive, it will save a lot of space if you sync also to windows phone. As I work for Microsoft Services I would be able to address your questions you may have inside the company to help you develop this feature.

This would absolutely be my #1 request also. This is already a great program, but the ability to sync studied publications between devices would add another whole dimension of usefulness. Please add this feature!!!

This feature can be Easily implemented by storing Rich text to a one drive folder or if possible storing Notes and Highlights to the Roaming Storage Folder.

I really hope this feature is under serious consideration, as it would add greatly to the usefulness of the program.

Just a point to add to my previous comment: This feature should allow for copying of only selected publications to another device, as opposed to syncing all publications. Ideally, it would allow for either option.

This would also be my absolute #1 request. As Mark observed below, preparation time for appointed men is precious. To be able to study a publication from my laptop and then copy the annotated file to my tablet for use at the meeting would be a real time saver.

I work on multiple Windows 8.1 devices (Desktop/Notebook/Tablets/WP8.1), and if preparing for an item/WT study etc. on my desktop it would be great to be able to pick-up on the preparation when on another device - e.g.Tablet - when away from the office. There many 'Task Managers' that do this via their own servers or using the clients OneDrive for example.
Could this be done? - It would be pretty awesome given the sparse time appointed men have to prepare and deliver items & talks etc. -

This is my No.1 Feature. I travel a lot and like to study on different devices. I do have a PC, a Laptop, two Tablets. On all devices the app is installed but i mainly use the small tablet to have everything in one place.

All the documents can be pretty space consuming. The PDF bible alone is about half a gigabyte. So I would recommend to either only save the personal editings and notes and configurations online. Or to make it possible to save everything manually/offline (this way you can spare the extra load to th jw.org servers in case of full recovery). But let me mind that the extra load one does cause by downloading the publications to a new device every couple months/years is neglegible.

Using OneDrive to store the files and to synchronize with multiple devices would be a great addition to this app--especially if it can handle the multiple devices seemlessly. It will also save bandwidth on jw.org.
The link below provides some guidance from Microsoft about using OneDrive within an app.

Yes, this would be very helpful. On Android I do the same between my phone and tablet using Dropbox.

That is essential and would provide redundancy in case device is stolen.
Please make a synchronization/ backup feature.
