### 4/5 — Enable Run on Mac option

*2026-03-26*

Earlier the app used to be available on the Mac app store. But after the update i am unable to install it.
Please enable so that i can download videos (Wisdom series) for offline viewing.
This is helpful to show in our Gnanakshetra as the network is low there, so streaming wouldn’t be possible.

**Developer response:** Hi. We apologise for the inconvenience caused. Request you to please reach out to us on +91 8792234832 or email us on support@artofliving.app. We have teacher's app which can help you if you have done the Art of Living's teacher training program. 

Our team will ensure that the issue is resolved at the earliest.

Regards,
Art of Living App Team.

### 2/5 — AOL APP

*2025-03-16, version 35.01.24*

Can no longer view the video on ipad in full screen

### 3/5 — Disappointed

*2024-12-16*

Hi,
Being a great fan of AOL and its previous app, I would say I’m really disappointed big time. Because of the reasons mentioned below:

1. No data migration was planned- have to loose all my customised download playlist of audio, video and meditations.

2. No option for bulk download is given in knowledge talks/discourses spread over multiple episodes like Ashtvakra/Bhagwad Gita; however bulk delete option has been given ironically.

3. The dowloaded media files aren’t playing when your phone is in offline mode….missing the whole point of ‘Download’ any knowledge talk/meditation.

I’m hopeful that the development team would be taking a cognisance of this issue and release a stable version if this most loved app soon.

Jai Gurudev 🙏🏻🌸

### 4/5 — System problem

*2024-10-02, version 24.09.06*

I purchased a paid membership, but I have been unable to login since yesterday and cannot watch videos normally . I hope the system problem can be corrected, otherwise it will be very inconvenient for users. Thank you so much.

### 3/5 — Unable to locate knowledge talks

*2024-09-10, version 24.09.06*

In the previous version of the app, there was an option to locate knowledge talks (standalone talks - ex. Are you tired?, Jesus the embodiment of love, etc). However, there in this new version I can't find a separate section like that. Though these talks are available only if you search for it.

### 3/5 — So Much Content Not Available After Update

*2024-08-21, version 24.08.05*

After the recent update, a lot of the content is not to be found, especially Bhajans. I can no longer play select Bhajans from any album. Please fix this!!

### 4/5 — After I updated the app is not opening at all

*2024-08-11*

I have a annual subscription and I like to be in sync with Gurudevs blessing and course updates. The app interface can improve and the app can add more meditations and material. Currently I’ve taken annual subscription but the app has crashed after I updated. Kindly help

### 4/5 — Great app

*2024-02-22, version 10.2.8*

Well organised, nicely presented which makes it a pleasure to use, easy to access all the wonderful content including videos  Am loving it so far. Thank you!

### 3/5 — Regarding the knowledge videos

*2023-10-25, version 10.2.8*

Since yesterday I’m not able to play any knowledge videos on the app. When I play any video, it starts to buffer, but soon I see a play symbol with a bar on it. The video never starts after that.

### 2/5 — App freezes a lot!

*2023-10-25, version 10.2.8*

App frequently freezes on opening…the only way I can bypass is to delete and relaunch App. Has happened multiple times.  A pity, as there is some great content…if only I could access it without issue!

### 5/5 — Amazing content

*2023-09-20*

I listen to AOL radio every morning. The knowledge series of audio is great to listen whenever I go for a walk. Every Sunday I watch knowledge videos. I have yet to completely explore the e-books which are available, some of which I have read. I also use the meditations in the evening after coming home, when I am tired, to reset my mind. Overall, it is an amazing app which can be used on a daily basis.

### 2/5 — I Have made the payment for six months but showing some error

*2023-08-15, version 10.2.2*

I have made the payment for six months… after the payment was done it is showing some error. Don’t know whom to contact, the helpline which is provided in the support tab is not working

### 3/5 — Not able to subscribe!!

*2023-07-08, version 10.2.0*

Jai Gurudev!! 

The content is so beautiful but am not able to subscribe only after my last subscription expired.. as I select the particular subscription it just displays an ok status rather than taking me to the payment link. Hope you look into this asap. Thank you 🙏

### 5/5 — Art of living app

### 1/5 — App purchases

*2026-07-01, version 36.03.18*

Very poor

### 1/5 — Doesn’t work

*2025-05-18*

Won’t play anything even after subscription was made

### 1/5 — App update removed key free programming

*2024-08-24*

Update removed live events that includes Sudarshan Kriya follow up in Gurudev’s voice. The live events show up on the app but takes you to the subscription page or the page says “event to start” even though the designated time has started. 
It’s important to drive commerce on the app, but let’s not go too far where core programs that were meant and communicated to be free go behind a paywall. Hoping this is corrected soon and free programs are available like in the past.

### 1/5 — Even after the subscription is paid every time it shows please buy and it is extremely annoying.

*2024-08-18, version 24.08.05*

Even after the subscription is purchased for the whole year I keep getting the message please pay.

### 1/5 — Unable to reset password

*2024-02-28, version 10.2.8*

I am unable to reset password as OTP is not coming to my registered email address. Raised multiple tickets with support and response is very poor. I have subscription for 3 months which I am not able to use due to login issue.

### 1/5 — App malfunctions and locks you out

*2023-10-16*

There’s an issue on the app that has been plugging me for four months. I’ve sent out seven emails describing and also attaching screen, recording videos of what I’m facing. I have purchased four years of annual membership and haven’t had access to the app in four months. 

The technical support team is by far the poorest I’ve seen. It is impossible to get in touch with anyone, or have your issue resolved.

Someone please fix it, when I download the app it does not give me a choice of language, just blank screen when I hit done and go to the next screen to enter my details for login, the loading icon pops up and then goes away. 

After this, I’m stuck in the enter credentials screen and nothing happens. Please someone help me.

### 1/5 — Can’t upgrade after 7 days free subscription

*2023-05-02, version 10.1.7*

The app gives an error and doesn’t let me upgrade. This is so annoying. 
There seems to be no way to upgrade even after downloading it several times from scratch. Please can you do beta testing before releasing it? There is no support info where anyone can reach out to either.

### 1/5 — Не работает

*2022-12-21, version 9.0.7*

Только что скачала, а пишут, что мой 7-ми дневный бесплатный доступ закончился. Не нравиться приложение.

### 1/5 — This is not the real app

*2022-05-09, version 9.0.7*

This is not THE Art of living app. The real one is a better app called The Art of Living Journey

### 1/5 — Acc subscription

*2021-12-20, version 9.0.7*

The account isn’t activated despite paying the subscription amount. How should I fix it ? Or who should I contact ??

### 5/5 — Adi Shankaracharya web series

*2024-11-12, version 34.10.30*
