### 5/5 — A Great Resource!

*2013-08-09, version 1.1.4*

Great mix of core Lutheran theology and informative discussion of current events.  I may have "Issues", but not with the App, it works great on my iPhone.

### 5/5 — Get a PHD in theology!

*2013-08-03, version 1.1.4*

Outstanding resource for Lutherans and   all Christians to learn the historical evidence of the Christian faith as well as what the Bible says about topics of the day.

### 5/5 — Love it!

*2013-03-04, version 1.1.4*

Absolutely love the podcasts, looking forward to listening live via the app!

### 5/5 — Best app for the best program on radio!

*2012-06-17, version 1.1.2*

Very helpful app. I love the find a church feature! Well done, and a great resource!!! I love getting the reminder that the program is starting even if I can't always listen right then.

### 5/5 — Good stuff!

*2012-03-22, version 1.1.2*

I love the program even more with this app : )

### 5/5 — Great app for a great show

*2012-02-25, version 1.1.2*

I love the new app. It makes it very easy to listen and comment.

### 5/5 — Love it

*2012-02-06, version 1.1.1*

Great job!

### 5/5 — The best in Christian radio

*2012-02-01, version 1.1.1*

Frankly, this show is without peer.  From outstanding theologians, to social movers of the day, a Theology of the Cross shines through as the interpretive lens.  A solvent of contemporary empty headed fluff-- good stuff!

### 5/5 — Talk Radio for the Thinking Christian on my iPod touch!

*2012-01-10, version 1.1*

Awesome! Can't wait till the Lutheran Public Radio app comes out so I can listen to sacred music on my iPod touch.

### 5/5 — Good for business travelers

*2012-01-07, version 1.1*

I truly enjoy this broadcast and they are a very interactive and caring bunch.  I like the find a church feature because I am on the road for work sometimes and I won't know the area.  Congrats for getting this out there finally.

### 5/5 — A terrific app

*2012-01-06, version 1.1*

This app is my favorite way to interact with the Issues, Etc community.

## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated)

### 1/5 — Forever Downloading

*2015-10-13, version 4.0.1*

When at, and WiFi not available, I try to listen to music, but the only thing the app does is indicate it's downloading. I don't use the app for podcasts since I subscribe through iTunes, and that is reliable. The podcasts also appear to get stuck in eternal download.

### 2/5 — Live music doesn’t work

*2025-05-06, version 6.10.3*

Haven’t been able to listen to live music for a long time. They want me to have a subsplash account now and since they’ve added that the music streaming won’t work and the app bugs out

### 3/5 — Still needs work

*2016-09-30, version 4.3.3*

I can only attest to the talk radio side as that is what I primarily use. While I love Issues Etc, its frustrating to have the program interrupted or cut off all together because the app has issues (not a pun!) with buffering and connectivity. Hopefully this will be addressed soon as Issues Etc is one of the few bible centric (sola scriptura) practical commonsense voices in today's media driven world.

### 4/5 — Issues Etc. isn't church

*2013-08-27, version 1.1.4*

Issues Etc. isn't church, but it makes me want to go to church; it let's me know what to listen for when I get there and helps me better appreciate Christ's gifts to me. This app ensures that I can listen to what I want when I want in my car, at the coffee shop or in the local cigar lounge. Why only four stars? Because it's not church, there's always room for improvement, and we're only Lutherans!

### 5/5 — Always Interesting

*2024-01-28, version 6.2.3*

I am a new listener to LPR, having found it mid-2023. Very professional production! The topics are varied and current - and the discussions are thought provoking - highly recommend!

### 5/5 — For the new and old Christian

*2022-09-07, version 5.19.0*

I love the “on demand” portion of this app. I’m forever learning about my faith in Christ.  What that looks like today and what it looked like in the past.  Take a tour and see what interesting to you!

### 5/5 — Amazing app, please update!

*2021-12-11, version 5.14.4*

I haven’t been able to use the iOS app to listen in about a month. This has been across a few devices, and it looks like there is no update to fix. I’ve reinstalled the app but nothing seemed to work. Leaving five stars, but just wanted the developers to know.

### 5/5 — So glad I listened

*2021-12-08, version 5.14.4*

Great topics. Sensible. God centered. Excellent guests/speakers.

### 5/5 — Best Christian talk show available

*2021-11-05, version 5.14.4*

No extremists - right or left. Just clear, smart information and discussion for the hungry soul.

### 5/5 — Love It; 1 Suggestiom

*2021-08-03, version 5.14.4*

As a convert to Lutheranism, this app’s music part has been so helpful in learning the Lutheran hymns we sing each week (and they are wonderful!). I do wish the mobile app would show what is currently playing, along with the last few tracks—it helps me recognize and learn the hymns, and this would be really useful to have like on the website’s stream. Thanks so much!

### 5/5 — Relevant topics!

*2021-05-31, version 5.13.0*

This is a great podcast! Knowledgeable host and guests discuss theology and current issues. I learn so much from issues etc!

### 5/5 — Excellent resource

*2013-10-06, version 1.1.4*

Though, I can't regularly listen live, the app is great for those times when I am not at work and am reminded by push notification the live broadcast is beginning.

### 5/5 — Great!  Easy!  Quick!  And best of all...

*2013-08-28, version 1.1.4*

THOUGHT PROVOKING!  Honestly, having just downloaded the app, I was listening to the program five minutes later.  A great program for the thinking Christian - thought provoking, insightful, faithful & stimulating, Issues, Etc. is food for the hungry soul!

### 5/5 — Indispensable!

*2013-08-11, version 1.1.4*

Do you have Issues?  I do!  Thanks to this easy-to-use app I can listen to any program on my iPod when I'm away from the computer.  With our newer model car we even listen to programming over the speakers while we travel.  You need this app for analysis of current events and pop culture ad well as trustworthy studies of the Bible and Christian history.  Don't miss even one discussion, because I know that you need help with your Issues, just like me.
