Can you add a favorite button or like button for the Dharma talks?

Lacking

I’m grateful for being able to listen to talks, and If we were in 1997, I’d say this is a great app. But in 2025 you expect apps to support playlists, favorites, follow authors, transcripts and more.

Invaluable Resource

This is one of my most used apps. The library is vast and contains dharma talks by many different teachers. It would take years to listen to all the material. The recent update adds the ability to download talks which makes the app much more useful.

An essential tool for anyone interested in understanding

Very grateful for this jewel 😌💙🌀🙏

Incredible Resource

I absolutely love this app. The talks and guided meditations are essential for my morning routine. My only complaint is I would like to “favorite” and “share” talks and easily find them and share them with friends.

Great app

Great app, so nice to have access to this content from my phone. The main thing it’s missing is the ability to access “private” talks using retreat codes (at least, I could not figure out how to)

Super content, could use a listen later feature

Thank you for this app!
It would be wonderful, and extremely useful, as others have said, if it was possible to star talks to save for later listening. Thanks for considering!

Amazing resource

So many amazing teachers and talks at our fingertips with this app.

If I could request additional features I would suggest “Playlist” tab that we could easily add talks to by clicking a “+” symbol on individual talks as we are searching and browsing.

And the ability to reorder this Playlist because not all talks show up in the app in the order they were delivered. Such as when one teacher delivered five talks about the 5 Aggregates but it was over the course of several weeks and the talks aren’t labeled the same but can still be found with persistent searching.

It would also be great to be able to click on the retreat itself and see all of the talks for that retreat even by different teachers.

A default set of talks for the complete beginner would be great too. Also the app could include direct ways to contribute dana.

Thanks for considering and for making these available.

I love the app but

The developers don’t display their privacy policy. As a privacy conscious person, I like to know how a company (or developer) handles my data. I would rate this app 5 stars if it weren’t for this.

Never Completes Install

Have never been able to actually open the app. After installing a screen appears and starts downloading something (?) but it stalls at 90% - and goes no further. Very disappointing.

The Best Meditation/Dharma App by Far

The perfect meditation and dharma talk app. Free. Site uses open-source software. Talks are available via RSS, MP3, this app for iOS and Android. Creative Commons licensed so you can share these talks and spread the good word about Dharma Seed. Multitude of teachers and retreats. Updated DAILY. This is so game-changing and I can’t believe I only found it now! So, so much better than paid services like Headspace or Yoga Studio which don’t go as deep or have the history or knowledge as these teachers do. Donate to Dharma Seed if you love it too! It’s so special.

Unable to complete App download

Not sure how to get in touch with the DS developer but I am unable to download the App. Loving the breadth of material on your website and looking forward to the ease of navigation using the App.

Amazing talks offered freely

So much wisdom for our time. Dharma seed has been offering talks freely for years. Grateful to them.

Great app

It’s wonderful to have access to DharmaSeed’s wealth of teachings through this app. It would be brilliant to be able to download talks, and possibly also to follow teachers and receive notifications when they release new talks. But great so far, thank you!

No longer opens

Loved this ap, but it no longer opens on my iPhone. I miss it.

Just

Needs offline mode

Clunky

The catalog of talks is amazing, but the search function and interface clunky and antiquated.

App isn't opening at all

Can't get into the app

No load

I have an iPhone 10. App will not load. The loading bar stalls half way.
