Editions

Microsoft Store and jwcontacts.com host the Windows Destop version, JwContactsUD, although their installation methods differ slightly.


The remainder of this page discusses other versions of JwContacts are or have been available for both Smart Mobile and Fixed Devices with any one of these 3 Operating Systems and at least a 4.7" display in larger dimension:

 

  • Android
  • IoS (Apple iPad, iPhone, etc.)
  • Universal Windows Platform (UWP: All devices with Windows 10 Fall 2017 or later operating systems.) (To be withdrawn after JwContactsUD release on Microsoft Store)

 

(Maps do not yet save in Windows 10.)

 

All these others have a common code base, so adaptation is primarily in providing proper visualization.

(Due to licensing restrictions, mapping in Windows uses Microsoft's Bing service rather than Google Maps.)

 

A JwContactsLite version may someday be made available for all publishers.

It would be much like JwC, but without those features provided with elders in mind and no sharing of personal data would be provided.

 

Note:

It is expected Mac and Linux can also be supported in time.

 

The Xamarin programming framework in which JwContacts is written now supports Mac and soon may support Linux and possibly others as well.

JwC Mac edition has begun development but awaits further Mac upgrading of much of the utilized open-source Xamarin features code maintained by others

 

Languages:

JwC runs in the language of its host device, if possible. (Ability of the user to switch MAY be in next release.)
