Much better overall experience with one frustrating exception - the “Time Travel” option results in the identical program playing simultaneously both earlier and later on the timeline. At the end of that program, the app advances forward. I constantly have to swipe right to get back to the previous programming I was enjoying. ### 5/5 — Great! *2025-08-14, version 2.7.10* This app has been great to listen to over the past few weeks. I work alone a lot so I put my head phones on and listen for hours! Thanks for providing a great, free resource to enjoy and learn from! ### 5/5 — Best of the Gospel *2025-07-19, version 2.7.10* I listen: to increase my scripture understanding, to hear our Christian world history, the know the world of people who made the Gospel of Jesus spread thur centuries of darkness during enlightened & humanistic denial of God &Jesus & the Holy Spirit. REFNET delivers this and So much more🎚️ ### 5/5 — I love RefNet *2025-07-06, version 2.7.10* Since RefNet was introduced, I downloaded it and I’ve been listening for the past 10years. RefNet is a part of my daily routine and one of the ways I connect with Christ. ### 5/5 — SUPERB! *2025-04-30, version 2.7.10* SUPERB! ### 5/5 — Enjoy *2025-03-15, version 2.7.10* I really enjoy the app just wish it was compatible with CarPlay ### 5/5 — Thank you so much! *2025-02-02, version 2.7.10* I can’t remember how long I have listened to this app. My mom got it maybe 9+ years ago and my siblings and I would eagerly wait for Lamplighter Theater to come on. Now that I am older, I love putting RefNet on to catch Dr. R.C, pastor McArthur and pastor Begg just to name a few. I really appreciate how many different segments there are from the audio Bible to catechism readings and music! Thank you thank you thank you!!! God bless this ministry even more!! ### 5/5 — Biblical Truth *2025-01-14, version 2.7.10* A wide variety of speakers and preachers. All solid biblical teaching. ### 5/5 — God bless you *2025-01-12, version 2.7.10* Thank you for providing this . Using your God given skills and talent to create this apps.. God bless you.. ### 5/5 — A favorite resource *2024-12-05, version 2.7.10* I am so grateful for this resource. The late Dr Sproul is one of my hero’s of the faith. All of the teaching fellows of Ligonier Ministries are excellent. I enjoy the classical music, sermonettes; and every bit of the content is superb. Thank you RefNet. ### 5/5 — REFNET *2024-11-05, version 2.7.10* Excellent!! ### 5/5 — Glory to God *2024-09-12, version 2.7.10* Thanks be to God for His many blessings. This app and its contents bring such joy and happiness to me each day. God honoring and Christ centered in all their content. May it continue to serve many until the day our Lord returns. ### 5/5 — I Second That *2024-08-20, version 2.7.10* Mrs. Master said it well. I also came across this looking for sanctifying apps, and it blew me away. I love that it has Bible readings, sermons, AND fantastic Christian audiobooks. The variety is perfect to switch up my brain’s focus. And the teachers are phenomenally trustworthy. Please give this app a try! ### 4/5 — I listen every morning *2024-08-18, version 2.7.10* I listen every day and start each one with Refnet. It is a blessing that has enriched my life and walk in faith (and continues to do so). The teaching is always rich and on point with a variety of different and inspiring speakers, ministers and preachers. It is truly a light shining in the midst of darkness. My only slight criticism is the music! Don’t get me wrong, it too is quite wonderful, just VERY repetitive! I don’t know if or when it is ever updated but I’m very tired of hearing the same thing over and over again! PLEASE Change it…. even monthly! That would be something. Many thanks and blessings to you all x ### 5/5 — Wholesome and refreshing *2024-08-13, version 2.7.10* A Godly escape from the noise and chaos of this world. Great teaching, edifying music, sound doctrinal teaching. Totally love RefNet. ### 2/5 — Content Great, App Terrible *2024-07-29, version 2.7.10* I have to delete and re-download this app, constantly. Either it won’t load, or won’t play. Upon re-downloading, it works fine, but inevitably malfunctions, again. Please fix the app so it is stable. ### 5/5 — Wi-Fi connection too sensitive *2024-06-29, version 2.7.10* My iPad stops working when I move from room to room, regardless of how close to the modem I am. It says that it needs a stronger connection. Have to delete the app, and then reload to get it to working again ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Recent Update *2025-11-01, version 3.0.1* Unfortunately I’m experiencing a technical issue with the Ligonier Ministries website's functionality for sharing content on Twitter (now known as X) following a recent update. This is a common type of problem that can occur after website revisions, especially when social media platforms change their own systems or domain names (such as the switch from twitter.com to x.com). ### 1/5 — Not Reformed *2025-06-24, version 2.7.10* JMac is not reformed. Whoever is selecting the programming needs to stop highlighting him. ### 1/5 — Does not work *2024-01-31, version 2.7.10* I downloaded and installed the app three times and could not get it to work. Every time I tried to play it would get stuck loading the current program. Very disappointing! ### 1/5 — Remove the wolves *2024-01-25, version 2.7.10* Hope you stand for Truth and Remove A Begg 🙏 ### 1/5 — Does not work *2023-12-28, version 2.7.10* Have had it two years. Every time, black screen, time always shows 11:00am. Hit play button get wheel of death on forever. Numerous messages for assistance go unanswered. It worked great for a few months. Sorry to write a bad review but RefNet just does not work. ### 1/5 — Can’t play anything *2018-05-12, version 2.7.3* I downloaded this app today and it seems not to play anything. I have been trying the whole day thinking poor network but all in vain. Is this app supported in the UK because would love to listen to it. Thanks ### 1/5 — Problem with iOS 8.1.1 *2014-11-23, version 2.0.0* Unfortunately this app doesn't work using an iPad with iOS 8.1.1 It just jumps about, doesn't fit the screen, then closes down after a couple of minutes. Such a shame -please fix. ### 1/5 — Doesn't work on iPhone 5s iOS 7.1.1 *2014-06-23, version 2.0.0* Such a shame as the actual apps does not seem to load but flashes up and down in an attempt to load on iPhone 5s iOS 7.1.1. I can't even get on to report the problem. I have had to listen via streaming on the website, which is a little more inconvenient (no zzz function). Please can we get an update or bug fix? :) ### 1/5 — Not Working! *2014-03-03, version 2.0.0* Sad, not able to get this to work on iso7 for iPhone or iPad :-( have tried downloading it a few times, but no joy! ### 2/5 — Way too bright *2025-10-27, version 3.0.1* Horrible update - bright white background is terrible for low light conditions. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Thank you Ligonier *2026-08-26, version 3.0.5* A non-stop feed of biblical truth material. Sermons, scripture, conferences, devotionals, music, you name it. All reformed, 24-365. My daily app now. Thank you so much to Ligonier for their ministry and outreach. ### 5/5 — Blessed by this phenomenal app packed full of reformed theology! *2026-04-02, version 3.0.5* What a blessing this app is! Outstanding reformed theological exposition for the body of Christ! I can’t believe I’ve only just heard of this app! Will be recommending to all of my friends! Highly recommend ### 5/5 — Great Resource *2025-12-01, version 3.0.2* Put it on and soak in the word, hymns, preaching, all day long ### 5/5 — The New RefNet *2025-11-14, version 3.0.1* Thank you for all your hard work. The redesign is absolutely wonderful. The new functionality is an incredible upgrade for this application. It is now a more powerful tool for living in God’s Word, Coram Deo. ### 5/5 — Small issue *2025-11-05, version 3.0.1* I’ve been listening for years! Love this new update. But I can’t log in and create a profile. The button is inaccessible to me. iPhone 12 Pro. When I go to log in , the banner to play the current stream covers it. I can’t access it no matter how I try. Hope you can fix this soon. Update: will I got some help from the kind people there and the problem was the enlarged text setting on my phone! Thank you! I love this app! ### 5/5 — Yay for updated music! *2025-10-31, version 3.0.1* Not only have you changed the interface, you’ve also updated your music list to include a much wider variety of classical / worship music! And it’s also wonderful to hear among them the old music that I’ve gotten used to from the app’s old version. My only quibble is that I can no longer click on the “search online” button for the music (currently you have retained that button only for the lectures / sermons / teachings), but I have a feeling you’ll fix it at some point in the future. Keep up the good work! ### 5/5 — Great update! *2025-10-31, version 3.0.1* The new update has made a fantastic app even better! Not only can I listen to solid Bible teaching wherever I go, but this update lets me go back and listen to what I may have missed. ### 5/5 — Absolutely amazing *2025-10-27, version 3.0.1* I have used this app for around 7 years and it keeps getting better and better. I can’t recommend it enough or explain how helpful it has been in my life. Absolutely amazing! ### 5/5 — Thank you *2025-10-26, version 3.0.1* I have been listening to RefNet for many years, and it is my go-to radio station nearly every day. I recently saw that the iPhone version got a much needed facelift that now seems smoother and easier to use. I just wanted to drop a thank you! Blessings to each of you. ### 5/5 — Tremendous Blessing *2025-10-05, version 2.7.10* I’m so thankful for this resource. A treasure that has been so helpful in the sanctifying work God is doing in my life. I pray many more people would take advantage of this gift. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
