App is buggy

For a while, I was able to access all current articles and archives. Then app stopped accepting my credentials. Not much help from customer care so far. Disappointing. Can read on website, but not app. The app and customer care really give you many opportunities to practice patience.

Unfortunately does not work

This app looked very interesting and promising to me, but I was unable to subscribe. When I tapped the $11.99 subscription button, I got a spinning wheel for a second and then nothing else happened. I tried writing support, but the message would not send because the app claimed I didn’t have an active email address. I am unable to use the app at all because of these bugs I’m running into.

Om mani padme aummmmmm

A little buggy

I love Lion’s Roar, and consider it a privilege to be able to help support. Just want to mention that the app still has a few bugs to work out 🙏

Does the job, but…

…no dark mode is available, and it’s a mystery why some digital issues are not available for offline reading.

Good App, Great Content!

Three things would elevate the reading experience in the app, in my view: 1) have a dark mode and/or sepia background option to make it easier on the eyes while reading, 2) have a highlighting option and 3) have a dictionary option to look up unfamiliar terminology. Looking forward to future enhancements in the app!

Lion Roaring

The Voice does the Buddhas work. So many wise and authentic words in this magazine . I read an article and some times try and use it in my life or think who can I share it with. Started reading May 2021 issue again Detox The Mind is what I need to be doing Plum Village is my on line guide so grateful for life and everyone who supports my practice . A long with “ Buddha at the Gas Pump” my internet usage is complete, well almost add BBC news and sport and YouTube.

Great content

Great content. I subscribe to the print version to leave in waiting rooms at the hospital where I work. Then I read the digital version on my iPad. It’s nice to have bookmarks. One thing that is irritating is constantly having to login to my account. Seems like o need to login every time. App needs a remember me on this device button or Face ID.

Excellent publication and app.

Wisdom

I learn a lot from lions roar and I get a lot of wisdom from reading the articles

Present…

Through this ap, I can read anytime, gain inspiration, share that inspiration and joyously move on into the next thing… thank you lion’s roar

Digital subscription is a scam

Don't waste your money on a digital subscription. The only benefit is the ability to bookmark articles you like. I have been unable to access the digital subscription I pad for since June 2021 and subscriber services has done nothing to resolve the issue or reimburse me for the inaccessible subscription.

Excellent distillation of Buddhist teachings

Lion’s Roar does a superb job of presenting articles and points of view that capture the essence of Buddhist teachings in a concise way. As a Unitarian Universalist minister who is deeply informed by Buddhism and increasingly drawn to Buddhist spiritual practices, I am most grateful for this resource.

Tweeting or posting

This app is great The only thing it’s having a hard time tweeting or posting thank you . Semper Fi 🙏

A Buddhist treasure trove

Lion’s Roar is a haven for the experience practitioner and very helpful for people attracted to The Way who are looking for guidance.

Articles cater to readers on all levels and are nourishing, soul filling, helpful and not all all dry. LR reaches into surprising areas of life and recognises also that lay Buddhists are everywhere.

In all cases LR helps the newer and intermediate reader deepen their practice.

Thanks so much

Lion’s Roar

Nice format and good you can find back magazines

Accessibility issues

I would be incredibly grateful if this app could be made easier to use for those of us with severe sight problems. A reader option to change the size of the print and better accessibility with screen readers would really help.

Stop the World to experience the Now

Opening this allows you to shift gears...

improvement needed

Great content, but platform needs improvement. Please update to improve performance and function better.

Both is best!

I subscribe to both the electronic and print versions. I enjoy getting the portability of the digital version; as I don’t have slot of time. When I do have the time to read it, the articles get me emotionally back to where I belong; usually when I need it most - be it in a waiting room, waiting in my car for a food order, or taking a whimsical moment waiting for my kitchen timer to go off.

I do wish, however there could be a Kindle version of the same to bring it full circle.
