Gospel Stream

The Mormon/Saints channel was SO much better. I'm really angry it's gone. I loved turning on the radio and listening to all kinds of different gospel related stuff. Now the radio is just music. All of the conversations and podcasts from the Mormon/Saints Channel are gone and this new app is empty and vapid. When will the LDS church wake up and catch up? The gospel of Christ doesn't have to be hokey, sappy and boring ya know. I'm puzzled over the lack of coherent content for youth, members, investigators etc. The LDS faith has huge amounts of resources yet their productions are cringeworthy at best (ahem the BofM videos), difficult to find and rarely work properly. The recorded songs for children are painful to listen to because they are poorly done. There are no animated videos for children to go along with the songs. It's almost like the people in charge of LDS production believe their faith is so superior that it will just do all of the work for them. I'm sick of spending tons of time looking into other platforms for religious content for my kids that the LDS church has no good reason not to have available. I'm sick of it. Members are taking it upon themselves to try to do something about it which speaks volumes about our leadership and seeming lack of focus on this area.

I use this app on my phone and tv. It is great for quick access to use for church and FHA and sharing the Gospel.

Hello, I am looking for an place that streams a combination of music & General Conference talks. I’d love for them to be randomized and for it to play 2-4 songs between each talk. It would be amazing if the talks went back 30+ years. The music can be the Tabernacle choir along with other inspiring music. Do you know if this already exists somewhere or if you can provide it here? Thanks!!

Kind of pointless for us since we can’t cast to Google TV or Chromecast, forcing us to resort to using the YouTube app with its… unfortunate recommendations and annoyances that the whole family has to see.

I use the app on an Apple TV 4K. The app is slow and buggy. One huge annoyance: the app doesn’t remember your spot in videos. If I’m re-watching a 2hr session of conference, every time I come back to it I have to scroll through and try to find where I left off. Please add a “continue where I left off” or “play from beginning” option.

The previous media app was great. It had images and videos all together and was easy to save, download, and find where the downloaded items were. As far as I can tell, the Gospel Stream app only has videos. I can’t find any still images at all. For those of us who are not tech savvy, it feels like things are changed so quickly that by the time we figure it out, the app has been changed to something new and more confusing. Just keep in mind those of us who are more on the tech illiterate side of things when you’re developing these apps.

While streaming the 24/7 Radio on my Apple TV the screen saver comes on and then eventually the TV shuts off. It would be nice if the stream would prevent the screensaver from coming on like the old Saints app.

I’m very disappointed that the talk and music stations have been combined. I don’t see myself utilizing this app regularly like the old one.

I like the stream app and the possibilities. You should allow for a more personalized experience, for example if I could save a favorite, mark a future broadcast for an “up next” feature. I would like to create my own personalized experience within the app without having to download content and taking up storage space on my device. In addition, this personalized experience would be the same on any device.

Please bring back the following features that were so beneficial in the Gospel Media App: 1) Trimming- This was so useful! I loved being able to quickly play shorter clips from longer videos, especially conference talks. It’s so much more impactful to be able to share instantly instead of trying to fumble around to find the portion you wanted to share. 2) create presentations/playlists—I loved the ability to categorize the videos I was saving by topic or lesson. It kept me more organized. 3) create a login to be able to save videos and access them between devices—this was a great feature. If I do all the work to save my videos to my iPad, but for some reason when it’s go-time it doesn’t work. It would be great to be able to switch over to my phone and go to my saved presentation (see #2) and have them all there in the same place without having to search. If you’re going to bring out a new app to replace a good app, please make it better, not worse.
