An Orthodox Christian service sitting next to my Netflix App? Incredible!
It is surreal to see an Orthodox Christian streaming service Application sitting next to the secular titans like Netflix and Amazon on my phone screen and Amazon.
The library seems to grow with each week or two. I can find familiar titles as well as titles I would have never even been able to find from overseas. I look forward to seeing the application grow and mature as well as seeing where the content could eventually lead.

Fulfills a need!
I am thrilled that this has been developed; its a huge milestone for the global Orthodox Christian community. I love that there is a variety of content and no ads on the kids profile! This app is super streamlined, beautifully designed, intuitive for the user and updated frequently!
Highly reccomend this to anyone wanting truth and beauty in their media.

Outstanding Orthodoxy
The idea of a faith-based Netflix probably conjures up visions of God's Not Dead-style cynicism where everyone outside of group is made into a punching bag or cartoonishly evil caricature.
That's....not what this is. Strong, well-written, and interesting content about and from Orthodox Christians; but also content that doesn't actively hate you if you don't believe as they do.
I am not Orthodox, and yet I find the content worth watching. Going back to the GND example above, people who aren't Orthodox will find that they are not talked down to, or caricatured. They may not be the main audience Logos Cinema is speaking TO, but they also aren't being yelled AT.
That difference; being proudly grounded in a religious faith while also not being so proud as to attack/demean/insult/ridicule everyone around them, makes the service stand out.
The iOS app is smooth, incorporates Liquid Glass well, and supports picture-in-picture. Offline downloads are not supported, though that is almost certainly to come.
