Leave a Review Adventures in Odyssey Club
App constantly crashes
As great as adventures in odyssey is, the app just doesn’t work. We can’t even get through an episode without it crashing and then I have to close out of the app completely and restart to continue listening. The app also randomly logs me out for no reason and it’s a pain trying to log back in because it can take several attempts. This is my third time reaching out to the developers and I have yet to get any kind of response. This issue has been ongoing since the launch of the new app and it seems like nothing has been done to address these pertinent problems. I have held out in hopes that these issues get resolved sooner than later but it’s not looking good.Show lessbsugar25
Worst update EVER
I have grown up listening to AIO, from listening on the radio, buying the cd albums to signing up for the first adventure club. Now I have my own family and they have also grown up listening to AIO.
I loved the first app. It worked the way it was supposed to. So we were very excited about the new update and all the features reported.
Gotta say, one of the biggest let downs. Nothing works as supposed to.
First, I have to sign in every time I use the app.
Then, the auto play doesn’t work. It might play for a few then it stops.
The download doesn’t work.
Often it says it can’t connect to the server, even when I’m connected to home Wi-Fi.
This all the same even when we use our home computers.
It just seems like the developers pushed out a project without duly testing it, creating a very frustrating experience for the end user. We’re paying a premium so we can have access to all the episodes and features that are supposedly there but they don’t work.
The only reason I have the club now is for my kids. I don’t even like using AIO club now. It is not a pleasant experience.
In short, worst update everShow lessthis nickname wasnt used
Love the content. Not the app.
Content is always great! Wonderful memories of listening as a child.
The app needs work. It regularly shows errors, and I have to close and reopen. It randomly skips episodes when I’m trying to listen in chronological order.(ex will jump from ep 401 to 415 for apparently no reason)
Biggest issue: Battery drain and overheating on iPhone. I could forgive all other issues, but this is a big issue! My phone battery stats show this app using well over 30% of all battery consumption on my phone. It will take my phone from 100% to 70% after 30 minutes and make the phone extremely hot as well.
Love the content, but major app optimization is needed!Show lesscemcinty
App is way too glitchy for the monthly price
It’s constantly crashing on me mid episode. The episodes are hard to download and the downloads expire. Sometimes the downloads don’t even work after downloading. Trying to attempt to download the club episodes for the kids to listen to offline is sooooooo time consuming compared to the regular episodes. Some episodes aren’t even playable and when I sent an email letting them know of issues, I never got a reply.
I miss the old simple easy to use app they had before august 2022. It was so simple to download episodes and the downloads never expired, they just had a limit as to how many you could download. If all these glitches don’t get fixed I will cancel my account soon. I’m also no longer get recommending this app to friends due to the many issues it has on my devices.Show lesstrudy35123
Great job guys
I so love this app it’s really an amazing one anything you guys do a great job with your adventures in Odyssey and a few questions and some ideas and I hope that you guys really are really encouraged by all these things that people say on the year and that you’ll just keep doing what you’re really good at so my first question is is Connie ever gonna get married ? And will Jason and Julian ever go out on a date ? And who is the big boss is it and novacom these are my questions and I have one idea what if you gave out like a message to people before the membership runs out but overall this is such an amazing app and it’s all me so much about the Bible and life and I just hope that you’re all super encouraged and just keep doing what you’re doing😄Show less😀😃😄😁😆🙂😸😺👍🏻
To many issues with new update
Since the update the app is horrible. I open it to listen to an episode and it will not load anything. I have to close the app and reopen in order for it to load, sometimes I have to do this a couple of times. It won’t play some episodes, it gives an “error” message and says it “can not load”.
With the old app I can select episodes I want to play by adding them to the queue. With this update I am unable to do so. I have to play the whole album. My kids and I listen to them as we lay down for bed. Sometimes one episode will put us to bed, so previously I’d select one or maybe two episodes so we fall asleep and then are not waken up later on to more episodes. Well now the whole album plays therefore it goes on well into the night, waking us up. I do not like the new app update, I wish you all would go back to original format it worked great and did not need to be changed.
Very frustrated user.Show lessTexRed88

Not driver friendly.I have to sign in each time I open the app, notifying which user is using the app at that time. I have to turn off the default Wi-Fi only option every time I use the app. These are not always things that can be done in one red light, using using my phone. There should not be a requirement that I sign in each time I open the app or have turn off the Wi-Fi only option. Go back in the old more user friendly app settings please. Also, a nice update would be to allow users to start up where they left off in the story, rather starting the story over each time.Show lesskccud
Love AIO. Dislike the new app.
Long time AIO fan here! I have so enjoyed the club over the years as it’s let me get the occasional childhood throwback and share some of my favorite content with my family.
However, the new app is buggy.
To start with, I’m often greeted with errors saying that an episode doesn’t exist on the server. That’s been a big problem with the latest album, 28 hours, over the past few days.
The app is also designed to be more of a mobile version of the website than a mobile optimized experience. Chronological ordering of episodes is cool for those who want to start from the beginning but a pain to scroll through otherwise.
They also got rid of the queue in favor of playlists and those two things just don’t work the same way. I’ve resolved myself to using my phone’s timer with “stop playing” as the notification.
The last big thing I’ve been struggling with is that the new app causes my phone to overheat regularly. I’ve tried it on a couple of devices and it appears to be a persistent problem.
I used to recommend the AIO club to all my friends with kids but now I don’t feel that the club is living up to the standard of excellence that I’ve come to expect.
I hope significant improvements will be made soon!Show lessOnceuponadecember
Used to be a good app…
This is my favorite audio series, and I really do love it. Adventures in Odyssey has been a big part of my life in many ways. Loved it when the club came out with an app and I enjoyed the app for years. I’ve been a faithful subscriber for those years. $9.99 a month seems like a steal for so much amazing content… at least until the last big update. I still love AIO but ever since the last app update I haven’t been able to play a single episode. I can open the app and even look at the comics but it won’t play episodes. It isn’t my phone either. In all the same places that I used to be able to listen and download I’m unable to now because of the app. I don’t know what happened with what appears to have been a well thought out and hard-worked-for update, but something got bungled somewhere. I said it before and I say it again, I love AIO, but if I’m not going to be able to listen there’s no need in paying the $$$ to get to hear nothing. Hope this gets fixed quickly. It’s a real waste for such a good thing to have gotten so spectacularly goofed up.Show lessRex65m

Does not work. I have repeatedly deleted the app and re-downloaded it trying to get it to work, but it doesn’t help. It will only play one story at a time, and then an error will pop up saying server cannot be found.
This happens when I use wifi or cellular data.
It still will not work. Even with downloaded episodes, it still will not play.
They took away the ‘add to queue’ option where you can select the next story you would like to listen to. Now you have to close out, shut the app, re-open to play the next story.
As someone who has been listening to AIO since it began, this is a huge disappointment.
Everyone that I know that has downloaded the update has said they have had problems, and the older version was way better.
The playlists don’t even show up. It says ‘no content found’- but when I try to add a story to the playlist, it says it is already added.
At over a 100 dollars a year, multiplied by many people, there’s enough money to have an app that works.
For the first time, i’m deleting my account.
Why spend the money during the time of inflation for something that will not work or even be attempted to fix.Show lessrjst89
