No longer working

I have enjoyed using this app for a few years, but for the last few weeks I can’t get the “All” part of the app to load, only the “Featured” part. I like to use the images for social media posts, but I can’t get to them - only a blank page appears. I have deleted and redownloaded the app numerous times, looked for a “Help” feature, tried different settings, but nothing has worked. Is there any solution to this problem?

Won’t allow you to watch videos

I love this app. This app is provided with lots of Gospel material such as videos, images, I even listened to some of the podcasts such as Saints vol.1 the only problem I have with it is I can’t watch any of the videos. None at all. Not sure if there’s any complications with the app. I like watching the films on here and now I can’t for some reason. I hope this issue gets resolved soon. But other than that complaint I really love this app

Worst app ever if trying to use for teaching

Won’t cast. Wo’t even acknowledge that there are multiple options for casting on the network despite demanding that in order to cast you must give it access to your network. I’ve got too many other apps that have requested that permission, but have turned it off, and they still cast just fine. This one has permission, and cannot seem to see any of the possible casting locations, Apple TV, or Chromecast. Sometimes videos will show a splash screen and the sound will come out of a TV when connected by HDMI, but mostly just a gray screen.

Even when using solo, videos show a Play button with a line through them even when downloaded. Just keep closing and opening the video and occasionally they’ll play.

Would be nice if it worked, but clearly not designed for iOS/iPadOS

Bug

Can't play videos to other devices

Version 2.5.0 is a step backwards

Why did you remove the ability to sync content between devices? As a seminary teacher, I loved that I could create presentations on my iPad or laptop, and then present them on a tv using my iPhone. Now I have to clip videos using a small phone screen in order to use my phone to play videos on the TV in class. This is a step backwards in capability. Please bring back the ability to sync between devices. ——-Update——- Lowered to 1 star because not all videos can be clipped to limit the part of the video shown. To make it worse, you have to add it to a presentation to find out if it can be edited. This is really tedious when there are about 25 copies of the video (like “To Look Upon”).

No login/ can’t sync

I had multiple presentations saved and I can no longer access them because there is nowhere to login to the app. That also means that I can’t sync my iPhone and iPad. Please fix this. I use this app often to present material in my RS lessons and rely on those features.

Can’t depend on this app

The app does not allow you to play the entire video that you downloaded. The images that I download can’t display over hdmi. Videos only show a short clip. It’s a very problematic app, wish I could depend on it because the presentations feature would be epic for teaching seminary. Alas, I can use Google Slides.

The search engine and media library are quite lacking, needs Boolean search and needs access to the extended media library of the church. Needs the ability to clip media too. SO much potential.

Luv it

I love this thing thanks again

Faith-building, inspiring

Lots of videos about Jesus Christ and disciples of Him. I’m grateful for this app. Also has lots of images and stories of believers. Good for when you want to have pictures or songs to accompany your scripture study.

Love the content and player

Awesome player that plays good and clean content.

Good but...

I wish it supported just regular mirroring onto TVs instead of just chrome cast.

Chromecast compatible

I’m so grateful to have a way directly from the Church sites to use Chromecast!

Crash city

I got this app to replace our missing Gospel Art book but it does nothing but crash. I can’t get anything to work properly

Saves me every lesson!

Out meetinghouse wi-fi is really unreliable in our classroom - all that cinderblock! I was struggling with showing videos that would buffer and stop in the middle. Once I found this app I’ve never had trouble! The library is searchable and downloads are easy to do and the option to organize by topic folders that I create is a bonus! Thank you! And blessings heaped upon your heads for this!

Video download is hit-or-miss

Several times, I am able to find a video and play it OK, but if I then try to download it for offline playing then it fails and tells me to check my internet connection, even though it’s working 100% for every other application, and even for the Gospel Media app in all other cases

I specifically need to be able to download so that during a Sunday School lesson I don’t have to rely on the meetinghouse Internet, which can be slow and cause playback issues when streaming.

The Gospel Media app doesn’t give me any further details of why it won’t download. It just doesn’t ! This is incredible frustrating. It seems that the problem occurs with some videos, but not others. This suggests maybe a problem with the URL that’s being used “behind the scenes”. Strangely, streaming playback always seems to work. Double frustration !

If I go to the Media Library website, I can watch the videos e.g. in Chrome, and I can download the videos by copying the URL to VLC Player. But really, I shouldn’t have to use this “hack” !

Good supplement to lessons, some bugs...

I have really enjoyed using this app to find images and video clips to use with my lessons, but I did want to point out that the app crashed every time I search “Jesus” under Images. Though if I search under Video or Music, then click over to Images, I can then load the search results.

Worked Great - Now Broken

It was a great app then they did an update and it no longer downloads media

Lacking desperately

I love the possibility of this app and the concepts. However, every time I try to open up anything from it, it crashes. I haven’t been able to use it in weeks. I teach Young Women’s and it’s so frustrating when I should be able to make a video presentation and it ends up crashing and we can’t use it. The same goes for studying with my kids. I hope they get it fixed because I think it could be such a great tool.

It won’t let me watch anything.

I had this app as a missionary, and it was an amazing tool to have to help with investigators visually, I recently downloaded the app and when I attempted to play any videos, it kicked me out of the app. This app has the potential of being five stars cause it truly is an awesome app, but it just needs to be fixed👍🏼

Lost menu bar

I have been using the app for my Sunday School lessons. I have the app on my phone and iPad. I signed in to have sharing across devices. Now the menu for settings and my media is missing from my phone. This is a problem, since my lesson is in the media and I can no longer access it.
