### 5/5 — Old App

*2025-03-25*

I don’t know what the deal is, but I LOVE this app. There’s a new one happening, yet this was still active. I downloaded some sermons that are still there, but if I try to download any others, it won’t work. I hope and pray to God that if this new app is poor and if it’s because this ministry isn’t being lead by MacArthur much longer that may the Lord bring us another outlet to supply such rich teaching

### 5/5 — GTY Sermons

*2025-03-20*

This is my very favorite app and I love listening to series that play for hours without you having to start the next part every 45 to 60 minutes and I just found out that substash has cancelled it. I am just devastated because I listen to it all day and even have it playing while I’m sleeping. I hope someone will pick it up and offer it again.

### 3/5 — Love This App, But Offline Playback No Longer Works Properly

*2025-03-14*

I’ve been a long-time user of the GTY app and absolutely love it. The ability to listen to John MacArthur’s sermons, especially offline, has been a huge blessing. I appreciate the wealth of biblical teaching available at my fingertips.

However, an update a while back has introduced a frustrating issue with offline playback. In a previous version, I could open the app in a no-service area and still access my downloaded sermons without any problems. Now, if I don’t have service or Wi-Fi when opening the app, it either won’t open at all or won’t allow me to play my downloaded sermons. The only way offline playback works now is if I start a sermon while I still have service and then go offline—but that defeats the purpose of downloading sermons in advance for places where I know I won’t have service.

I still love this app and highly recommend it, but I really hope the developers fix this issue so that offline playback works as seamlessly as it did before. For those of us in areas with spotty service, this change makes it much harder to listen consistently if not at all.

### 5/5 — My Favorite Bible Teacher

*2025-01-29*

John MacArthur is hands down my favorite Bible teacher. 40+ years of verse by verse expositional sermons on every book of the New Testament and a lot of the Old Testament. Over the last 4 years I’ve listened to every book Pastor John has in the library. I don’t agree with MacArthur 100%, but I find his scholarship unsurpassed.  I trust him more than any teacher I have heard.

### 3/5 — Excellent.

*2025-01-22, version 6.13.1*

MacArthur is a great teacher; but the latest app update has made it impossible to access downloaded sermons when offline. Also, management of downloads (en masse deletion) needs to be addressed. Please fix 🙏🏼

### 5/5 — Pure biblical truth

*2024-11-12, version 5.17.1.1*

Pastor John MacArthur delivers the truth one verse at a time! Thank you Grace to You for staying true to the Word of God and standing strong! Excellent sermons and a huge variety of topics. Can’t thank you enough for this sound teaching!

### 1/5 — Awful app.

*2024-11-05, version 5.17.1.1*

Doesn’t load devotional half the time. Force crashes every time I try to rewind audio. STUPID APP!!!

### 3/5 — Fix you bugs

*2024-11-02, version 5.17.1.1*

If you fast forward or rewind the app closes out and you have to find your place again by listening from the beginning. This is absolutely annoying.

### 1/5 — 18.0 upgrade needed

*2024-10-07, version 5.17.1.1*

App keeps on crashing when fast forwarding and when pausing.

### 5/5 — A treasure!

*2024-04-29, version 5.17.1.1*

So blessed to have discovered this app!! I’ve been listening to John’s MacArthur’s teachings on YouTube but this is amazing… organized by Bible books and themes… what more could I ask for?! God is so good to provide these incredible resources for His people to access sound doctrine wherever you might be. This is truly a treasure and I have a lot of listening to do!! I would also love the option of being able to check off what I listen to, as someone else mentioned. That would help a lot to aid progress instead of trying to remember where you left off. Thank you thank you for this app!!
