Some updates are straight fire, as the kids say. Full of crazy improvements, wall-to-wall new features. They are the quarterbacks of the app update world. And then, some updates are offensive linemen. Unheralded stalwarts of performance and stability. This update is a lineman. And you need linemen. Because without linemen, quarterbacks would hurt their noses. So, we bring you these few small but important improvements: • Faster access to downloads while offline. Previously, if you lost connection, it could be a little tricky to find your way to your offline content. Now there are links on each main tab, so it's much easier. • Fixes to Facebook login. Some of you who like logging in with the ol' FB may have seen the occasional hiccup recently. Those should all be ironed out now. We'll be back soon with another episode of Luminary: The App Updates. Let us know if you actually want that podcast. We can make it happen. We know people.

Reviews of Luminary Podcasts & Originals

  • Next to impossible to cancel your subscription

    Tried to cancel my subscription when they dropped history on fire. I literally am not able to - tried the app, it said to go to the website. tried the website, logged in and it said I wasn’t subscribed. Then they charged me a few weeks later for a yearly subscription. No contact email address that I could find. I decided to let it go and mess with it before the next yearly subscription charge. Here I am a year later trying to do the same thing, still can’t find a way to cancel my subscription. It’s pretty rotten when companies use tactics like this….making it next to impossible to cancel your subscription. Zero stars.
  • Bonkers content but buggy app

    I love the content these folks have but the app is plagued by issues. It's overall difficult to navigate, it's not particularly customizable (if you're used to selecting playback options from apps like e.g. Overcast), it NEVER resumes from being paused successfully (pro tip: rewind 10 seconds and most of the time that's enough to encourage it to resume playing), the car controls skip the entire episode instead of forward or backward by seek times (defeating the purpose of hands free), it constantly tries to play literally anything other than the series I'm listening to, and so on. It's enough that I may not renew my subscription. I REALLY hope they invest some time and energy in this thing
  • Buggy playback and queuing

    Podcasts will sometimes not load, and have to close the app and restart to get it to work. Same thing for podcasts I come back to, even when I pause for a few minutes, I’ll need to shut down the app.

    Podcasts also can freeze in the middle and I can’t continue them even after shutting down the app. This happens on the web app as well.. I just don’t go back to these shows when this happens.

    Also don't know why I can’t access my podcast queue unless I’m already playing something. There should be a way to access this next to downloads or something like that.
