### 5/5 — Such a blessing!

*2026-08-04, version 9.13.0*

I could listen to Alistair Begg all day every day and never get tired of it. I just let one sermon roll into the next and have enjoyed every single one of them. I hope you’ll try it.

I am having trouble trying to order book 1 an am not sure of my radio station I think it is 88.9 fm it’s late I would have to go in my car to c the number will do tomorrow Jean lindner

### 3/5 — Help!

*2024-07-31, version 8.9.1*

The content on the app is excellent. Alistair Begg’s approach to preaching the Word is really good, and the variety of topics and Scripture dealt with is so helpful. However, I’m having a problem with the app itself. After a few minutes listening to the sermons it stops and I have to keep pressing play again and again.
I’m using the app on an iPhone 12 mini, which has the up to date OS. Is it my phone that’s incompatible with the app? Help please. Thanks.

### 5/5 — Come for the Alistair Begg, Stay for the Daily Reading

*2024-04-03, version 8.7.0*

Excellent app overall. I'd originally installed just to have Pastor Begg's sermons at hand. Then discovered the daily scripture readings with audio narration and devotions, and now the app forms the core of my morning devotional.

Alistair Begg is an essential voice -- dare I say prophet -- for the modern American Church. Messages delivered 20+ years ago continue to resonate today. This is a indicator of truth.

### 1/5 — App doesn’t work on IOS v 12.5.7

*2023-12-19, version 8.4.0*

App doesn’t work on IOS v 12.5.7. Seems out of date

### 2/5 — Keeps Crashing!!! So frustrating!!

*2023-11-04, version 8.3.0*

Keeps crashing!!! So frustrating!!! Don understand why😔😔🥺
