Absolutely ridiculous and makes no sense, especially when certain shows you only have 3 videos posted anyway… You might as well just add commercials and click bait while your at it… Good grief… ### 3/5 — Decent but...... *2024-02-11* Overall a good app. But here are a few heretics and false teachers on this app too. Which is shameful ### 2/5 — Performance *2023-07-07* This current program for olive tree ministries keeps cutting out and starting over. I had to use the website for olive tree ministries to listen to it. **Developer response:** Thank you for letting us know. We hope that this issue has been resolved now. Feel free to reach out to us directly at support@lightsource.com if the problem persist or if we can help with anything else. ### 4/5 — Rebecca *2022-08-09* I enjoy further getting to know the biblical teachings of some of Christian leaders that aids me in my everyday life to better know the love of Jesus. ### 5/5 — Such a great way to hear gods word *2021-12-16* Amazing to start out your morning driving into work listening to a sermon for strength and wisdom ### 2/5 — Notifications *2021-12-10, version 4.9.1* K ### 5/5 — Great app for my devotions *2021-09-02, version 4.9.1* I use this app ### 5/5 — Light source rocks *2021-05-02* I down loaded light slice and I have all my favorite pastors to listen to. It’s a blessing to have this app and what it brings to me everyday not just Sunday! ### 5/5 — Excellent *2020-12-29, version 4.9.1* Thanks ### 5/5 — Anonymous *2020-09-14, version 4.9.1* I’m being gang stalked and some of the members of the local church I was a member of (including the pastor)was recruited into stalking me by believing stories that were made up by “these government people”. Eventually, word got around to the entire congregation and to this day I do not know what “word“ was said about me but I began to be ostracized and alienated by church folks. Since COVID-19 hit America we cannot attend church services and the pastor of the church I was going to has restricted his sermons on you tube as private and no one will give me the code to log in. This app is great because I can still hear the word of God and not have to be ostracized by church folk Thank You So Much ### 5/5 — Bishop John M. Borders Boston. Morning Star Baptist Church *2020-04-26* Such a inspiring source of expository messages, right at your fingertips. I love it. ### 5/5 — Godly Inspiration Anytime *2020-03-19* I love this app, there are at least 20 or more excellent preachers and one of them Is “up” all the time. Different styles, topics and areas of interest. All of them are inspired by God. I have been watching 3-5 per week. It’s fantastic! I combine these messages with my own intensive Bible study to absorb myself in Gods Word. The App is called the You Bible, it comes with hundreds, if not thousands of devotionals that take 3 to 21 days. It contains note taking ability, can be shared with friends or posted on FB. I have not found one thing that costs money. Sometimes as we pick ourselves up, dust ourselves off yet again, being in Gods Word is exactly where we need to be! ### 5/5 — Light Source-so many choices conveniently located in one app! *2019-11-23, version 4.9* So m ### 5/5 — Inspirational *2019-11-22, version 4.9* I enjoy listening to light sources it's inspiring and uplifting for my soul. ### 3/5 — Frustrating Notifications *2019-10-29* I’m new toLightSource. Just now I on the edge of removing it from my iPhone. As I tap this comment, no lettersapear … no characters appear, except when a suggestion is Bering made. There is a typo in a row above. I can see the underscore of red dots, but not the characters. I have a badge indicating 5 ne messages or something I can’t find the nor can I cause the alert badge to go away. I’ll give it a few days, but now it looks like I will be dumping over the side. ☹️ ### 2/5 — Repeat *2019-10-09, version 4.8* Listen to the intro then start the sermon without a choice. Listen to the intro and again in the lesson????? No choice on video or not??? Please go back to old version!!! ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Website Options *2025-06-12, version 4.9.1* I tried to delete my account for One Place & Light Source.
