I’m on an iPad 10th generation full charge service is good and app is up-to-date. Idk what is wrong. Otherwise I love Lakewood Church services. ### 3/5 — Live Stream has no Audio *2022-05-29, version 3.0.244* Audio for live stream is non-existent. Please fix this. ### 4/5 — Best App. *2021-12-28, version 3.0.244* Thank You Jesus ❤️ ### 2/5 — I can’t log in *2021-09-19, version 3.0.244* When I tried to log in today I got this message: “Login Failed! Invalid username and password combination.” I used the app to reset my password via my email address. I tried with the temporary password and I got the same message. I have attempted to log in about 4 times in total this morning and it’s just not working. I guess I’ll watch on YouTube. I hope this gets fixed by next Sunday. Thank you for all you do! ### 3/5 — Kicks me out *2021-02-02, version 3.0.244* Hi, I usually never write reviews but I felt I needed to considering I would love to enjoy this app. Today I would have liked to tune into bible study Monday’s but unfortunately wasn’t able to. My current issue is that it kicks me out of the app and consistently stating my login has failed. I then proceed to the only option of resetting my password and even then it doesn’t work. Someone please help!!! ### 1/5 — Past recordings *2019-08-30, version 3.0.224* It is unfortunate I can no longer view past recordings in the new app. It seems the app is only for live streaming. Please, consider bringing back the option to view previously recorded messages. ### 1/5 — Have to reset password every time I log in *2019-08-18, version 3.0.224* Because my email address has a “.” in it, it tells me it’s invalid. I can put it in to reset with the link, and can get in, but the next time it tells me my email is invalid. The old app was much easier to work with to tithe. If this could be fixed and I could log in easily, I would use it regularly. God Bless. ### 2/5 — Giving on the App *2019-07-19, version 3.0.224* I love Lakewood but just wanted to say I really appreciated the older version of the app, concerning the “Give” section. Now, I’m having to add it to the shopping cart (which I’m not on the app for) and it doesn’t “add” every time. Seems like more of a complicated process, all the clicking required to give in this new version, just my opinion! :) The new app update is beautiful with the colors/ graphics however. ### 1/5 — Live streaming not working *2019-07-07, version 1.3.121* I can no longer stream live services so I have to stream from their website. Please fix so I can raise my score of the app. ### 1/5 — Live play *2019-06-09, version 1.3.121* I have uninstalled and reinstalled several times and the live broadcast still doesn’t work!

EVERY TIME. 👎 ### 1/5 — Sad unable to get into app ? *2020-04-11, version 3.0.224* So disappointed that I haven’t been able to create a new log in. I tried for over 30 mins and gave up. I tried even in Joel Osteen Ministries as well and didn’t work either. Why bother having these apps if we can’t get in?? ### 1/5 — useless non working app *2020-01-07, version 3.0.224* i thought this app would be great but right away they want ypu to use your Facebook account to sign in. i have that feature turned off in facebook for security reasons. then os says not signed up click here and you do but it doesn't take you to go sign up! someone needs to fix this app ### 1/5 — Why do I need a password *2020-01-05, version 3.0.224* The onboarding process is too confusing. I gave up after 6 tries . I’ll just search it on YouTube. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Great app, but live Spanish translation is missing *2025-06-22, version 600.0.17* The Lakewood app is very complete, easy to use, and full of inspiring content that truly nourishes the soul. I love being able to access the services, messages, and resources anytime. However, I kindly ask that you please add the option for Spanish translation during live broadcasts. Many Spanish speakers follow Joel Osteen’s ministry, and being able to understand the messages in real time would be a huge help. Other than that, excellent app! ### 5/5 — Audio issues *2025-06-14* I love this app and I listen to multiple messages a day but over the past two weeks many of the messages have no audio, and some of the messages have streaming issues. App is up-to-date and so is my iOS please fix. ### 5/5 — My source of Strength *2023-06-29, version 3.0.244* Being an overseas migrant worker, Depression and home sickness are among the common struggles.. But when I started to stream the Sunday Worship Services, I feel like I’m born again…Hearing Pastor Joel’s messages give me Strength.. It’s really a different feeling when you’re into a Bible-based church or community. I am born and raised catholic, but streaming every single services of Lakewood church and hearing Pastor Joel’s messages helped me understand more what’s written on the Bible.. Thank you Lakewood church… ### 5/5 — Good *2022-07-24, version 3.0.244* His service is amazing I watch him every day he’s so inspiring ### 5/5 — Awesome app *2020-09-27, version 3.0.244* Listening to pastor Joel is osteen every day encourages us to follow God is so awesome in this dark year of 2020 and beyond, so God bless you pastor Joel & your family and your Highly Blessed Church! ### 5/5 — Great app *2020-07-12, version 3.0.244* This app has great information about what is going on in the church but it needs completely with all smart speakers, including Amazon echo,Google assistant and the Apple home pod. ### 5/5 — Fantastic Church, Fantastic App *2019-08-06, version 3.0.224* Lakewood is the best place to be with your family. The people are amazing, the atmosphere is breathtaking, and the message is one; the goodness of God through Christ. You always leave inspired and uplifted by Pastor Joel’s messages and the fantastic worship. Jesus is the center and all are welcome. The app is very good as well. You can find all the church info you want plus watch the services live, and read Pastor Joel’s today’s word. ### 5/5 — App *2019-08-03, version 3.0.224* Hi I know you must have had your reason to change the app but it was great when you could watch the previous services on the app, whenever I listen while driving it keeps buffering on the website but that never happens on the app. I’m not complaining just letting you know I’m very greatfull to be able to worship with you guys from London.
