I love the content, but the media player is not good. There needs to be a button that shows the player because if I switch out of the app, then back in, I cannot get it to pull up. Thus you can't pause, back up, or anything. So I'm forced to go back to Spotify and miss out on the exclusive extra BIY content.

The content within the app is amazing, 5 out of 5 Stars. However the app itself can be frustrating at times. Trying to listen to Bible in a Year, Unsuccessful. The app crashes frequently and I can't get it to resume playing without at least 5-10 min of fiddling with it. I am cleaning and having to stop to fix the issue often isn't realistic. This happened last year and I defaulted to another podcast app.

This app is so frustrating. You constantly have to jump around between catechism and bible. If you want the bible notes, rather than just letting you split the screen and have themfully on one side they litter the bible with asterisks and bold headlines. There should be an option to split it but instead you either hide the notes (so no notes)so you can actually read or have clutter which makes it hard to read, and jump around closing and opening back and fourth. I wanted to love it :(
