### 5/5 — My Go To App

*2026-02-02*

I really enjoy listening to Sebastian’s voice reading Steps to Christ. 80% of my bedtime routine is listening to this book. God has woke me up at specific paragraphs, especially when I was struggling. I found it so comforting.
Love all of the new stuff that has been added and I like looking back at my listening history. 

My only complaint is buying a lifetime membership and using my Apple ID to sign in. I can not log in from my computer due to my initial choices. Not the apps fault.

### 5/5 — Absolutely amazing

*2025-05-16*

This is truly been a blessing not only in my life but in close friends and partners like too. When I first started using it, it was great, audio was good and the content was amazing! It’s so simple to use and truly blessed from this. Praying that this spread out more and blesses other just how it has blessed me! Super affordable. Truly amazing recommend buying it and owning it. Wonderful ministry.

### 5/5 — Love it

*2025-02-22*

Thanks so much. Love it!

### 4/5 — Love it but

*2024-11-27*

It’s a wonderful app I really love listening to good quality things especially since there are so many Ellen white books I really want to read, it’s just glitchy and slow. And it’s hard to select things without it taking forever to load. Other than that love it.

### 5/5 — Best audio app for Christian content

*2024-07-08*

If you want to deepen your relationship with Christ and further your understanding of the Bible, you have to listen to Luminate.

### 5/5 — Best.app.ever!!!!

*2023-11-09*

Thank you guys so much for making this. I can only imagine the amount of work and time that went into this! Thank you :)

### 3/5 — Wish it Was What it Was Supposed to Be

*2023-10-26*

I paid $100 to have lifetime membership during the kickstarter. This app is such a great idea but the functionality is really really bad. Every single time I restart the app it starts over from the beginning. If you try to play another book. It plays on top of itself two different tracks and never saves the track I listen to. I literally haven’t used this app for the last several weeks because it’s so frustrating. Such a great idea and if they get these books fixed, I will use it all the time. I’ve submitted several requests through their HELP page and had no response. Please get this fixed, so I can listen properly🙏🙏 Thank you!

### 1/5 — Can’t get past name selection screen

*2023-09-11*

App is non-functional. Upon first open the app says it cannot process the name selection request. There is no way to dismiss the screen to enter the app. Furthermore, entering a name in and tapping return does not dismiss the keyboard unless one hits the back button.

**Developer response:** Thanks for the heads up! We have been working on this issue. Hope to address in an update this month.

### 1/5 — No support

*2023-08-06*

In April I paid the $200 for a lifetime membership. I still am listed as a free member with limited use of the app. Have tried contacting them through numerous ways without any response whatsoever. Am hoping that they respond to this. I want to love this app, but it’s hard when I’m $200 in the hole. Would not recommend anybody purchase this app yet. Hopefully things get fixed soon. Great idea and free content is excellent, just needs some more work.

**Developer response:** Hello! So sorry to hear that you didnt receive your early adopter code. Can you email: info@luminateapp.io and let the support team know? They can help quickly and get you setup!

### 3/5 — So far so good except…

*2023-07-31*

I really love this app & hope to continue to love this app. Since the first time I downloaded this app, I’ve been running into a little bit of a problem. Once I download the app I start listening to it. Then when I’m done I close out the app until next time. When I try to come back in to the app, it always takes me to a page that asks what I want to be called. I put in my name & even change my picture then try to save it, but I always get the same message saying my request can’t be processed at this time so try again later. Then I can’t move forward or backwards and doesn’t allow me to do anything. So I’ve been having to delete the app and re download it just so I can listen. Then once I’m done & exit the app again to come back in, I run into the same problem. It’s been a cycle of downloading and deleting the app, but I’m hoping this can get fixed because I really like the app. I just don’t want to keep going through this just so I can listen.

**Developer response:** This sounds like a bug we addressed. Can you email info@luminateapp.io and we can send a bug report form and get you squared away!
