Ratings and reviews

Same as others - the content is great but the app is buggy. It is slow, can take a while to start playing a show, shuts itself off, and when reopened it won't have the show I was listening to queued up. I do like the currently listening to section as a workaround. I spent more than 30 mins yesterday trying to get it to open and resume my show while I wasn't on WiFi but in a full service area and it absolutely would not. It basically doesn't work when not on WiFi.

Terrible app for a great show. The app is such a pain I consider canceling every time I use it. Riddled with bugs. It doesn't accuracy track what I've already listened to. I'm literally considering making a spreadsheet so I can know what I've already heard. Ridiculous. Fast forward and rewind often crash the app. Super frustrating. I love the show but hate this app experience and dread opening it.

Great content, terrible app. What kind of podcast app does not have a playlist function? There is a queue that you can add shows to but it also generates its own queue based on which podcast you're listening to and adds a bunch of episodes that you've already listened to. The queue isn't user friendly at all. There is a lot of quality content so I continue to pay for it, but I really wish I could listen to the podcasts through another podcast app. Luminary needs to fix the playlist issue.

What's new

New logo, who dis?! :) Luminary has a brand new look, just in time for new seasons of Spooked, The C-Word, The Midnight Miracle, plus a slate of a great new shows you wont want to miss. And stay tuned later this year for a brand new product to match! We can't wait to share all we've been working on with you. The best is yet to come, kids. In the meantime, keep an eye (and ear) out for more ways to hear in a new light.
