Bug fixes

User reviews

Doesn’t work; frustrating.

After a tremendous amount of effort, both on my part and on the part of the church secretary, I was finally able to briefly access the literature for the Bible study class of which I am a member. But, halfway through the study, I am no longer able to access the material. It still shows in my digital library, which was set up through the church’s account rather than through mine; but, when I click the link for the book, I am directed to LifeWay On Demand, which a customer support agent at LifeWay insisted I also install. Both the current ebook and the following one, both of which were ordered, appear in LifeWay Reader; but, when directed to LifeWay on Demand, it doesn’t even show the current book, but only the upcoming one. However, the upcoming book (the only one that appears in LifeWay On Demand) doesn’t come up, either, since it was initially ordered and accessed through LifeWay Reader. Now, this is preventing me from accessing the material, and I’m falling behind. Terrible app! Apparently, LifeWay On Demand is better; but I am currently unable to transfer the study material to it. Bummer!

Awful app

this is my first time using and it’s horrible. First, I always have to re-login with a pain. Also, I would like to take notes and there’s no place to take notes. Says workspace, but when I push it, there’s no way to take a note. Also, I would like to change the default Bible, and it has no way to do that so I have to change it every time I pull the Bible up. Thankfully, this Bible study is only five more weeks and I will be done with it. I was really hoping to enjoy not having another book on my shelf.

Filled with rage

I feel strongly that Jesus would have flipped tables if he had to use this app. If he used the desktop version legions of angels would be called down.

Lifeway doesn’t care

With all of the issues that this app has and features that it doesn’t, it’s obvious that Lifeway doesn’t care about. Ebooks are not a profitable item for them, so this gets zero support or attention.

Much room for improvement

Giving this app 2 stars. Please note that once you login, you need to remain logged in. Its very inconvenient having to login in multiple times throughout your study, if you navigate to other apps or pages. Also need for it to pick up where you leave off and need for it to remember my settings. Please provide a link for the lifeway podcasts. This app has so many possibilities, but right now, its terrible.
