Can’t find the pastors I marked I like there are others that show up along with topics I didn’t choose ### 4/5 — Usability *2026-05-12, version 7.0* I do not want to be forced to follow a ministry to listen to a message. ### 3/5 — Usability *2026-04-20, version 7.0* I do not want to be forced to follow a ministry to listen to a message. It should also be better at searching by name. ### 2/5 — Seriously hate that some podcasts a locked into OnePlace *2026-02-26, version 6.6* the app is bad compared to other podcast players, but some of the podcasts I like are locked into their platform for some reason. Like Dr Barnhouse, and James Boice. Morse so, some of the podcasts (like Barnhouse) are not even available on the app; only findable on the web. Really dumb. If you want to spread the word of God, open up the access. ### 2/5 — Rate *2026-02-18, version 6.6* The information is good just can’t find people that are on there like Dr. Barn house and the Bible. ### 3/5 — Sleep timer *2026-02-07, version 6.6* I love what this app offers. My only complaint is the sleep timer rarely works. It’ll go all night and switch programs as it does. ### 4/5 — Change is not always good *2026-01-12, version 6.5* Liked the old format better. It was easier to find my favorites and there were more episodes ### 3/5 — Updated the App *2026-01-07, version 6.5* I’ve been using Oneplace for so many years, and it’s been my go to for Christian podcasts, but the last updates and changes to the app need more work. I liked when I would put on one podcast and it would end when the podcast was finished. But with this new update, another podcaster comes on, and if you don’t turn off the podcasts it will continue playing one podcasts after another until you close the app. I actually liked the old design of the app as well. ### 3/5 — Disappointing change *2025-12-12, version 6.4* Now I have to sign in each time to see the programs I follow. Also I have to select follow on Running to Win each time. It doesn’t remain in the follow list. ### 2/5 — The app doesn’t have everything that’s online *2025-12-07, version 6.4* There’s a couple ministries I keep trying to pull up on the app that I’ve followed online and the app never recognizes them. The search feature doesn’t work and then it won’t let me access them from my profile and it’s like they don’t exist. I find the app unhelpful in this regard. So: 1) search feature doesn’t work well 2) app doesn’t have all the ministries that are actually on One Place 3) when I look at a ministry, to try and find the one I’m looking for, it auto plays their latest upload and I don’t want that and then there’s no way to clear it from playing. 4) (Based on 3) I find I have to constantly close the app to get it to reset so I can go back to what I’m trying to do. Summary: one place is a very cool and neat idea, but I think as a whole the execution of it still needs a little work, especially the app which seems to have bugs or gaps as of Dec. 2025 ### 1/5 — awful!!! *2025-12-05, version 6.4* this new update as of the last year is absolutely awful. It’s never in line. It won’t scroll. It’s not easy to follow. It’s nothing like the last app !! and it is not my phone. It is the app. Someone needs to do a much better job because I really do love what it is about. ### 1/5 — Worst App Ever *2025-12-05, version 6.4* I listened to 3 podcasts consecutively a few days ago and the app made me login 3 times. Ever since then I keep getting junk email from OnePlace. No matter how many times I unsubscribe, it just keeps coming. Those are the new issues. But even before this, the app didn’t work very well. First, whenever you finish a podcast it starts playing the previous day’s podcast. Seriously? Even though the previous day is “marked as completed”, it plays it anyway. Hello? Why not play the next day’s podcast instead of the previous day’s? Second, whenever I listen to more than one podcast, the second one gets all glitchy. The only way to fix the issue is to close the app and reopen it. Come on guys. This isn’t rocket science. It’s just an audio streaming app. ### 1/5 — No Longer Functioning As Intended *2025-12-04, version 6.4* Not sure what happened to the new update but now it doesn’t work as intended. I have to constantly log in, it no longer keeps track of what I listened to and the ministries I’m following I have to search for bcuz it tells me I’m not following anything. This is a complete nightmare. ### 3/5 — New Update Ok, Needs Work *2025-11-11, version 6.2* The new update is ok and it’s nice that I no longer have to restart the app for continuous listening BUT if I listen to a sermon one day, the next day that same sermon will say, ‘mark as played’ with zero minutes left. I’ve already listened to it but I can’t actually mark it as played. So there are some bugs that need to be worked out. Continuous play needs to be an option within the app and not automatic. Fix ‘mark as played’ and fix that I can delete the app emails without having to click on each one and be taken to the internet. Thanks! ### 3/5 — Needs to work with CarPlay *2025-11-07, version 6.2* That’s it. CarPlay. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — OnePlace app *2026-08-19, version 5.16* App keeps crashing and closing. I’ll do a follow to someone then it closes. Not good. August 2026 ### 1/5 — Was excited then stupefied *2026-04-25, version 7.0* On April 13, 2026, I downloaded the OnePlace app on Apple Store. To sign up I had to share my email address. Knowing I will probably unsubscribe eventually to stop many sites propensity to send 2-3 emails a day I looked forward to many inspiring podcasts with pastors I d listened to and enjoy. I went to check my email today and was shocked to see not 2-3, 3-4 or even 10 emails… but 50 + all arriving on April 13. Holy Toledo!! Sure enough I counted them all. I took screenshots and reported it to OnePlace. I hope it’s just a glitch because I don’t have enough phone storage for that. Really hope this can be resolved. 🙏 ### 1/5 — Buggy *2026-04-03, version 7.0* It’s impossible to delete things you no longer want to follow as well as the sleep timer doesn’t actually work. ### 1/5 — Disappointed with OnePlace *2026-03-26, version 7.0* I do not like the updates or whatever has happened to OnePlace. I had an account with them for 8 years. I always stayed logged into the app. I was logged out automatically and when I trued to log back in my account couldn't be found. I had to create a new account so I lost years of sermons that I had saved and all the pastors that i follow. ### 1/5 — I am very disappointed oneplace decided to remove the options available to rewind or fast forward *2026-03-24, version 7.0* This is a disservice to your users ### 1/5 — Worst App Ever *2026-02-18, version 6.6* This is new app is the worse one ever. I give it a one. I choose which ministry to follow not whoever developed this mess you have made of One Place. Would not recommend to anyone. ### 1/5 — The way it was before much netter *2026-01-29, version 6.5* The changes made to the app funcionaliry has made me to stop using the app. Before it was much easier to find the teachings i wanted to listen too. Now it”s a mess. Before i coyld play a teaching and it would end. Now it keeps going to the next sremin continously which is unwanted. I no longer use the app after many years due to bad design changes in functionality. ### 1/5 — Terrible update *2026-01-08, version 6.5* Lost all saved stuff. I have arthritis this scrolling now is terrible. Used to play just one sermon now keeps going endless. this should be a choice in settings. Fix it lousy for old people not good at all this computer stuff. Wish I never updated app ### 1/5 — Terrible update *2025-12-26, version 6.5* Lost all saved stuff. I have arthritis this scrolling now is terrible. Fix it ### 1/5 — Listener *2025-12-07, version 6.4* What happened to my favorites. Going to delete this app and try to start over. Now I seem to need to sift thru all the preachers to get to my favorites 😩 ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — What seemed like a mountain was only a molehill. Now I’m happily enjoying OnePlace and you can too. *2026-05-14, version 7.0* On April 13, 2026, I downloaded the OnePlace app on the Apple Store. To sign up I had to share my email address. Knowing I will probably unsubscribe eventually as many sites send 2-3 emails a day. I looked forward to many inspiring podcasts with pastors I’d listened to and enjoyed. I did receive more emails than I wanted and had to contact the developer to halt them. I received notice that I was 100% unsubscribed and that was that. Sure enough after about 30 days all the emails stopped. I thank OnePlace and Salem communications for their help. I can now listen to OnePlace and enjoy the content online without the worry of email accumulation. Thanks and God Bless. ### 5/5 — Love this app! *2026-02-23, version 6.6* I listen to a sermon every day at the gym! ### 5/5 — Listener *2026-01-22, version 6.5* What happened to my favorites. Going to delete this app and try to start over. Now I seem to need to sift thru all the preachers to get to my favorites 😩 thank you that u fixed my problem. No longer need to sign in every time. The app is back to great again!! ### 5/5 — My favorite app *2025-12-07, version 6.4* I listen to sermons off of this app everytime I exercise, doing yard work, house work, etc. ### 5/5 — Life changing *2025-12-04, version 6.4* Life changing sermons by many of the best pastors. We use this app all the time ### 5/5 — precious gem of an app! *2025-10-24, version 6.2* I stumbled upon this app (Divinely led perhaps?) a couple months ago, and just love it! I previously would use YT but was always irritated by commercials that interrupted the messages. I am in my 60’s and I live tho at this app has NANY of my favorite ministers of the word in it— very convenient ! I also appreciate that these videos are of the person preaching, not just a voice to hear! This helps me strong and ongoing each and every day from week to week, to be a boost until Sundays and Wednesdays when my in person church holds services and prayer evenings! I plan to continue to do this most days,to keep my armor up in this crazy world, (that is not my home) by listening to sermons throughout my days, until the Lord calls me home (or lifts me up!) ### 5/5 — The best *2025-10-24, version 6.2* I must say this app is amazing and ive used it to grow in the word of God ### 5/5 — Great coverage *2025-10-23, version 6.2* The pause button has disappeared. ### 5/5 — Shaky world, solid ground *2025-09-15, version 6.0.2* It really is all here in “one place.” As you sit at your desk, exercise, clean, relax… soak up preaching outside of just Sundays. The news may be 24/7, but with this app, so can biblical preaching, good exposition and encouragement. If you want to make a difference in your circle with practical ministry and Christian love, this and a renewed prayer life will bring that into your world ### 5/5 — Listen to faithful preaching anytime *2025-09-15, version 6.0.2* I love that I can turn to oneplace to find trusted pastors who preach truth. No fluff, no twisted Scriptures, just God's word preached daily. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
