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.

Great app!
This is an amazing app that I use for studying the Bible! Highly recommended! Only thing this app needs now is a landscape option, which I think would be easier to use the app
2.1.5 version challenge
The previous version worked great on my iPad Pro w/keyboard. It supported picture in picture, and I could take notes on my iPad in Pages app while viewing the bible study teaching video in the upper left hand corner. It also opened in either portrait or landscape view. This version opens only in portrait, and can be toggled to landscape. When using a Magic keyboard, this is an extra step, that wasn’t previously needed. PLEASE reconsider the limitation this is for someone with arthritis who finds it easier to type than handwrite notes, because you’ve rendered the viewing of the videos and subsequent note-taking via a keyboard useless.

Missing link
Where on the app is the link to “redeem/register” my code for video access? I’ve serched and ???
Studies are great, app is not
Continues to play after you pause it, exit out or take a phone call. Doesn’t keep record of studies you are doing so each time you open app, you have to search for your study. Doesn’t have predictive text when typing in study name in search bar.
Very inconsistent experience
It's hard to find the bible studies you've purchased, and once you do, the videos are out of order. Also, when you speed up the videos they glitch... So, I tried downloading, but then it doesn't allow the sped up video. If you try to cast the video using air play, it does not abide by the speed settings. :-(

Unable to cast, using the app
I am disappointed that I am unable to cast my videos to my TV or Roku devices using the app. When the app searches for devices that I can cast to, it only vines my grandson‘s TV who lives in an upstairs apartment however, I go to the website login to LifeWay, and view the videos from there it allows me to airplay to my Roku devices. If the app is unable to find all the devices, I can cast to on my network then the app is useless to me.

Great studies
This is my forth study through Lifeway and I love using the material and on demand videos.
Cannot cast on
Poor
I am very frustrated.
BThe I am very frustrate
I just purchased a Bible study, the wonder of advent, but now I can’t access it. I’m looking for a phone number, and I can’t find a phone number. This page is totally unfriendly to me because I am legally blind and the text that is writing, it’s so dark that what little side I have left is not able to read it because there isn’t any contrast between the background and the text color. So I have no idea how this is coming out, whether there are errors, and so on. In general, I like your Bible studies but I’m finding it very frustrating to interact with you.

Lifeway digital material
Every time I try to access my digital account on the app I have problems.
The Armor of God
I am reading Armour of God & it’s EXCELLENT
Difficult to use with voice over screen reading software for the blind
Several buttons need alt tags to be added in order to make the app accessible for blind users. if everything was accessible. It would be a great way for blind and visually impaired people to complete Bible studies.
Bible studies
I have enjoyed and grown as a Christian through many of Lifeway Bible Studies: many Jennifer Rothschild’s and currently in When You Pray. I love the videos accompanying many of them . Thank you Lifeway
The armor of God by Priscilla Shirer
This is a great study of Gods word . Priscilla thoroughly explains what the armor is and how God wants his people to use the armor against the evil one . God wants his followers to understand who they are in Christ. God sent his son to save who ever will accept him. Gods blessings are poured out on us every morning. All we have to do is accept it . God wants his followers to know his word so they can fully understand and embrace all the grand benefits of this lavish inheritance. He wants his followers to stop living below their spiritual station in life. I tend church each week and study my Bible but Priscilla presents it in a way
