But, After recent update the app doesn’t work properly. When I turn the app and play, It ramdomly played in the sermon, doesn’t play from start. And I can not see the progress arrow(indicator) after update. Please fix these bug ASAP. ### 4/5 — wonderful sermons but accessibility issues *2016-04-13, version 1.0* First of all, thanks greatly for this app. All of Pastor John piper sermons or deep and life-changing. As for usability, the app is easy to operate and navigate. But, it is not fully accessible to blind users using voice over. The buttons to navigate through and between sermons are accessible. But, sermon header information such as the title, the date, and scripture references or not readable with voiceover. Please consider making this app fully accessible. Thank you greatly! ### 4/5 — Question/Suggestion *2016-01-31, version 1.0* I love the app! One question ... is it streaming the data real time? I think I've noticed my data usage spike since I've been listening to these on my way to work in my car. Can you have an option to download the sermon fully prior to listening? I would do this on wifi before I left my house. Thank you!! ### 4/5 — Great! Just one suggestion *2016-01-07, version 1.0* Love the app and the concept. One minor fix - if you pause and use a different app, when you go back it doesn't remember where you left off and you have to start from the beginning or manually fast forward to the correct location. Please fix this and thank you ### 4/5 — Great app *2016-01-05, version 1.0* Thank you for releasing this new app. The app works well and is simple to use. Only one request, please update so it remembers my place in a sermon, it currently doesn't. Thanks! ### 5/5 — Beautiful. Simple. *2015-12-31, version 1.0* What a blessing this man has been to me! And what an easy to use, functional, and helpful app. Piper is one of the strongest voices for truth and reason in our day, and it's great to see the team making the content so accessible. ### 5/5 — Most Influential Pastor/Theologian/Writer since Charles Spurgeon *2015-12-31, version 1.0* I have been waiting for this day for a long time! God most certainly be glorified through this! Especially because nothing like a Piper sermon to help me enjoy Him! ### 4/5 — Needs Double Speed *2015-12-31, version 1.0* Great app. Similar set up to the Solid Joys app. Definitely needs the option to listen at variable speeds. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — It won’t play previous sermons *2019-11-05, version 1.1.1* I would love this app, but it won’t play previous sermons! Please fix this. ### 1/5 — Love the sermons, but the App won’t work *2019-09-12, version 1.1* Love the sermons, but the App won’t play them for me anymore. I’ve deleted and downloaded 5 times over the past few months with no luck. :( ### 1/5 — Archive *2018-03-31, version 1.1* Make archived available like Grace to You and you got five stars and an incredible resource ### 1/5 — Still Confused .... *2016-10-21, version 1.1* DG....please fix. I love this app, BUT this updated version does not work as advertised. My old version (1.0) worked better. Something's wrong...is it me? ### 2/5 — No Download Option *2017-03-25, version 1.1* I have to be on WiFi to use this or I use up my data allowance. Please add download capability. ### 2/5 — Update needed *2016-03-30, version 1.0* App works great on WiFi. But when using cellular connection the sermons will not play. Yes my settings are set to allow cell data usage, so I'm not sure where the bug lies. If you can make this mobile app more mobile 5-stars all the way!! ### 3/5 — Some sermon audio levels can be too low... *2016-05-24, version 1.0* Unfortunately, some sermon audio goes to low, even with my iPhone turned up Max and my car stereo turned up Max, I can barely hear Pastor John. It would be nice to have each sermons audio normalized so that low audio levels or expanded. ### 3/5 — Great App, But It Has Some Bugs *2016-01-05, version 1.0* Love the app design, simplicity, and content. Please work out the kinks with resuming play. When I exit the app (without closing it) and return, it automatically goes back to today's sermon. If I'm listening to today's sermon, it resets the player back to zero. It should be able to return to the exact spot I left off in any sermon. Thanks for the app. Looking forward to the fixes! ### 4/5 — DARK MODE PLEASE *2022-10-12, version 1.1.2* The app is simple and easy to use and I am thankful that I can use it to listen to Pastor Piper. CAN YOU PLEASE ADD AN OPTION FOR DARK MODE! I listen in the evenings and when you open this app in a dark room it is jarring. Thanks . ### 4/5 — Playback speed *2021-08-09, version 1.1.2* Please add a playback speed option. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Such a blessing *2021-12-17, version 1.1.2* Thank you ### 5/5 — Sermons *2017-12-08, version 1.1* Often I find myself climbing a mountain, studying for my professional career, at a beach, or anywhere in between. I still crave Gods word to be taught on a Sunday morning. As iron sharpens iron pastor John Piper sharpens his church in such a way that you feel God talking through him. Pipers words are not his own as they reverberate with my soul. I am so very thankful that he is a willing vessel and allows God to speak through Him. Amazing app. Thank you for designing it, and I will commit to donating for future development of this and all your amazing online resources. The military taught me that the battlefield changes.. and we as soldiers must adapt to it or be killed. There is a spiritual battlefield and the war is strong. DesiringGod.Org has adapted to this battlefield and is leading this fight. Let's all join together as Christian followers and unite as one. Let's get sharper together and allow God to open our eyes and hearts and use us for his Glory. Thanks be to God ❤️🙏🤓😂🦋🌎 ### 5/5 — PERFECT *2017-03-12, version 1.1* Listen to this EVERY night while cleaning up the house. My favorite app!! Love how I can go back and listen to previous sermons! Thank y'all for providing this! ### 5/5 — Great App, but please provide sermon browsing *2016-09-02, version 1.1* Hello DG, thank you for providing this app. But please provide the option for us to browse through John Piper's app, so we can listen his sermon archive. Listening on the safari website isn't easy to access. Thank you for all that you do. God bless. ### 5/5 — A God send!!! Wonderful app! *2016-03-19, version 1.0* God has slayed me for His Glory through John Piper. My eyes have been open to the beautiful glorious fear trembling awe of God through Jesus Christ through the sermons, podcasts, and messages of John Piper. Thank you Piper for not compromising and being swayed be the pop cultured American church. One suggestion or problem. The app only works for me when I'm connected to wifi on my 6plus. I have to start all sermons on wifi. Sermons won't play if I try to start them while on LTE or 3G only. ### 5/5 — Love this app *2016-02-02, version 1.0* What a privilege to be able to so easily access the preached Word every day. Simple, clean, easy. Two suggestions: download capability and bookmark where I leave off if I need to pause and leave the app. ### 5/5 — Awesome! *2016-01-04, version 1.0* This app is GREAT! What better way to listen and invite Gods Word into a person's crazy life daily, than to listen to a new sermon by one of the most influential pastors our generation has seen. ### 5/5 — Amazing! *2016-01-04, version 1.0* Another great idea from the DG team. Love having the sermons all together in one place. Thankful for your utilization of technology, to the glory of God! ### 5/5 — Thank you! *2016-01-02, version 1.0* What an amazing app. Pastor John Piper has been an inspiration that has changed me profoundly. I believe God is using him to spread His passion, love, and grace to all the people who have access to modern technology. Thanks Piper and thank you Lord! ### 5/5 — Love it! *2016-01-02, version 1.0* This is a no brainer!
