Great content, poor app
Jon Courson is my favorite Bible teacher. I’ve been listening to him for years. I started out with the tapes, then moved to the MP3’s, and then on to CD’s. Now that he’s gone digital, it makes it so much more convenient to listen to his teachings. That’s why I hesitate to review this app, but I think it’s necessary, because it could be so much better. I’ve been listening to literally hours of his teachings daily, and here’s the problems I’m seeing with the app:
1) You’ll be right in the middle of a teaching, and the audio will suddenly stop. It still shows it’s playing, but…nothing.
2) If you stop the teaching and come back later, when you click on the app icon, sometimes it will refresh the whole thing and you have to try and find where you left off at.
3) If you back out of the teaching to look at other content, it takes you out of the sermon completely.
4) Sometimes you can hit the play button to resume a teaching, and it will not show that it’s playing, but if you turn your screen off and then on, it will show that it IS playing, but there is no sound. To fix this, you have to refresh it altogether and try and find where you left off.
5) If the phone rings, it will not automatically resume once the ringing stops.
6) There is no option to download any teachings, so you always have to be where there is internet service.
All in all, the app itself just seems to be very weak, and I believe it could be improved for much better performance.
