Ratings and reviews

There is no way to try out the app without creating an account. Promotional material highlights that it is free to download. However, it forces you to create an account and set up a free trial which then turns into a paid subscription. Other apps offer limited features for free with no account creation. This app offers nothing without an account, and doesn't appear to have any free option, even a limited offering. I won't create an account, so I never was able to try it.

5 star rating for excellent content and the important service it provides for a fair annual price point. HOWEVER there are issues that should be fixed with this app: * Listen screen needs skip track buttons (right now they only rewind and forward). This would be a big quality of life upgrade for those of us who listen to chapters on repeat. * Downloads screen needs to be easy to load without internet. *Verses are often spliced at the wrong spot. It can be jarring on verse reflection.

While I am impressed with the contents of the library and the responsive customer service I am disappointed in the user Interface. I wish it was more intuitive, adding subscribed plan episodes to my queue automatically (I don't find the "up next" to work well) and marking episodes played as I listen through. I feel like I have to set up a pllaylist nearly every day to get what I want (especially BIY) and it's time consuming to scroll to episodes I missed. There's potential though & I'm hopeful!
