Ratings and reviews

It's great... when it works. A few weeks ago the app started saying it couldn't find data whenever I tried to open. Thought the new update would help. Now app crashes on open *every* time. DayStar, please fix this. I miss my daily inspiration! UPDATE 7/29/19: Developers kindly let me know my phone was too oId...& since then I have upgraded to Android 8. But the app STILL doesn't work. I get stop messages even when I'm not using it. Had to uninstall, sadly. :(

I'm really enjoying the app. I used to watch it with my dad on sky a few years ago, but not watched since he passed away. I wanted to get back into watching to honour both Marcus and Joni and have watched both of their memorial videos. However, my app is experiencing a problem. When I click on a show such Ministry Now and the year, it only has so many episodes and then the wheel keeps going around and no more load. Is there something I can to correct this?

Love Daystar. However since app updated, the Livestream I watch was moved & complicated to find. And I am tech saavy.

What’s new

Tap to Watch: Notifications now take you straight to your favorite videos even if the app was closed.
Smoother Startup: Fixed screen flickering on launch for a cleaner app opening.
Date Fixes: Improved upload date displays so you always know when content was shared.
