I look SO forward to using my Living Scriptures streaming App

I love coming home at night and finding something uplifting to watch on my Living Scriptures App. I even canceled my Netflix recently because I wasnโ€™t using it anymore due to always wanting to watch my Living Scriptures Streaming App instead.
I absolutely LOVE it all but especially the documentaries about the USA Promised Land or the Book of Mormon Evidence (Hopewell Indians etc.) that is my favorite! I have a few friends that have joined LS just to see those videos!
I love videos from on your site from Rod Meldrum and Wayne May and Ryan Fisher (Nephite Explorer) and from the Joseph Smith Foundation and we like the Skousen series too!!
I canโ€™t get enough of LS and I am SO excited when there is something new, especially in these categories!
Iโ€™m also hoping you add videos from Amberli Nelson and Timothy Ballard to your list and more Nephite Explorer!
I also love the The History of the Saints series and the docudramas of the Restoration and the Darin Southam movies about Christ on LS right now.
My grandkids love all of the animated scripture shows.
Basically...... we LOVE Living Scriptures!!!

Love having the movies but...

My app shows absolutely nothing! Always refresh and there is no way to watch it because it logs in but doesnโ€™t show content. I have deleted the app and downloaded again and still nothing. We have to open a browser to watch the films.

Not compatible with iOS 11

Iโ€™m giving this app 3 stars because the content selection is 5 stars, but the app itself is 1 star. Many of the live action videos are streamed at a poor resolution and the video occasionally stutters even while playing on a very fast 100 Mbps WiFi network.

The biggest problem is that it is not compatible with iOS 11, which no longer has a system-wide airplay option separate from screen mirroring. As a result many video apps have an airplay option incorporated into the app, but LS does not. This leaves screen mirroring as the only option to airplay LS content. Screen mirroring has many setbacks for this type of content, including not adapting to the proper resolution for the TV (creating vertical and horizontal letter-boxing), continuing to show the status bar on top at all times, and the inability to use different apps or allow the screen to sleep while mirroring. The last app update was 5 months ago, prior to the release of iOS 11. This app sorely needs an update to catch up.

Great content. Unusable app.

Itโ€™s sad that such a good product with such good intentions can be delivered so poorly.
If you like loading screens, you will love this app.
Iโ€™m going to cancel soon and I hope the cancellation works. I read some of the reviews and heard experiences from people that bought videos in the past and the stories arenโ€™t good. Multi level marketing scam level bad. I will find out soon if cancelling actually cancels.
I really wish this would have worked out. I love the content. The delivery is unusable.

Content great, app needs serious overhaul

Love the selections of movies and videos. Hate the app. No airplay support in the app so the video plays sluggish streamed through the Apple TV using the screen mirroring workaround. The sound randomly goes quiet for a few seconds at a time when streaming. Half of the thumbnail images on the browsing screen donโ€™t show up, you have to select a blank thumbnail to see what it is, then go back and repeat the same process. None of the thumbnails for the movies downloaded show up in the download screen.

Enjoy the content when I can access it

I signed up for a year of streaming. So far I have been successful in accessing the videos half of attempts Iโ€™ve tried. It says my password is incorrect. When I go to change the password it says the new password is incorrect also. So far no response from Customer Service.

Stay Away

Stay away from Living Scriptures. I signed up for a $1 for the first month deal, and then canceled on their website within that first month. Then, a few months later, I got a past due invoice for $20 in my email. I called, and after spending 30 minutes waiting to speak with someone, I was told that they had no record of my cancelation. However, after about 15 minutes of taking with them, they offered to take off $10 and cancel my account. I agreed to this because I did not have an email or other document to prove that I canceled the account, even though I specifically remember canceling it online. (I should have remembered that with Living Scriptures, you need to have everything documented, because they will try to squeeze every penny out of you).

Then, even though we agreed to the $10, they still charged my credit card twice (for $9.99 each), and subsequently did not remove the charge, despite my request.

I would stay away from them. It is just not worth the hassle. The animated scripture videos are good, but their other content is not great (and some of it is very questionable, including things I would not feel comfortable letting my children watch--such as the one-sided and potentially misleading videos about Book of Mormon geography). And most importantly, their sales and customer services is just the worst. Unless you are certain that you want to pay $9.99 per month with no easy way out, stay away from Living Scriptures.

NEEDS Volume adjustment

Love the movies! Wholesome and good!
This app NEEDS a volume adjustment besides just mute button. I want to be able to control the up and down volume of the movie with my phone as I cast the movie to my smart TV. Iโ€™m not using an Apple TV or airplay. I use the casting feature.
Thanks!

Finicky

The air play would work just fine one day, the. The option wouldn't even show up the next day. I do work from my phone, so I need the stream to come from the app, so I can still use my phone . However today, it won't give me the air play option at all.
I give it 4 stars because I love the movies . Since I was a kid there seems to be so
Much more! I believe at least hope these bugs will be worked out for more convenience for feeling the Holy Ghost ,
Above all, thank you for even giving us this stream option! Most of my children's younger years, were deprived because I couldn't afford them. So, now it's possible . And seriously, I would still keep them for me.๐Ÿ˜Š
My review ( not complaint ) is to acknowledge that there is definitely a bug in the air play.
I look forward to more options, like there being an app on my actual Apple TV. ๐Ÿ˜Š
