Huge Loss Compared to the old CSB Bible App
Really disappointed- I still have the old CSB app and it is a far better product, even today. The lifeway app opens to the library Screen- not where you left off in the Bible- it takes around 5 seconds and one click to get back to where you were reading. There are very few settings to change viewing and text preferences, no option to download audio, doesn’t work well offline, the search function doesn’t work near as well to quick search Bible passages, it takes multiple steps to highlight the text, the reference notes all have a cross symbol and do not correlate to the numbered references of the text. I have many other complaints but I digress.
Bring back the old app! Or please fix this one. Upgrades are supposed to be better not worse. So disappointing :(

NO Downloadable Content
I’ve purchased E-book Bible studies, etc and came to realize this app needs internet 100% of the time for function. I contacted Lifeway customer service and they confirmed Bible studies, etc cannot be downloaded but are internet dependent. This is a major drawback to this app
Ability to cast to a tv screen
I don’t like that I can not cast from my phone to my tv. I have to watch my videos from my phone. I would love to watch it on the larger screen.
Required Reader
I downloaded another e-reader and then bought an ebook from Lifeway that stated I could use the reader to read. I can read it online through the website, but unable to read it through the app. The app states that I have no studies. Go figure!
No Offline Access
I love the idea of Lifeway. I don’t love the execution. I wanted to read my purchase on the plane during a five hour flight, and was unable to get access to the ebook without the internet. It’s unfortunate that the app can’t act like kindle for its ebooks. I understand needing access to the internet for the purchased videos, but I don’t for the ebooks. Kindle and Barnes and Noble have offline access that prevents off app downloading to protect authors from online piracy, so we know it can be done.
