Lifeway Reader

The Lifeway Reader app is the worst app in the App Store. Have used it for several years and I still find it a 30 minute exercise is trying to get my library to open up.

I got this app for my mom to read her devotions but the profile won’t stay logged in. Very frustrating! Please fix this!

This Lifeway reader app is frustrating and very difficult to move around in…I feel like it’s taken us back in time it is so unfriendly to use. I have spent years studying using the Kindle app on my iPad and it is easy to use. After downloading a book from lifeway that I wanted to study, I was so frustrated with this app that I went to Amazon and ordered the book format. And only because it’s a study I really want to do. I like ebooks because it’s an excellent way for me to study. Lifeway produces so many wonderful study materials but do not offer them in Kindle or provide a user friendly app to read and study with. This seriously limits the number of books I can purchase from Lifeway.

Not even worth having an app if you are going to execute this poorly. Makes your company look even worse to have such a lackadaisical approach. Fix it or pull it.

This is the most useless app I've ever tried. And I have books I've bought in it. I will never buy a book from lifeway again.

I have used this app for years because it is my only digital option for Lifeway materials. I have prayed and begged for revisions to this app to make it usable. Apparently that will never happen. PLEASE allow me to export my purchase to a useable app! I beg you. There are many other apps that will let me use my pencil or stylus to write my answers. There are many other apps that will let me STAY SIGNED IN. Above all, there are many other apps that will let me use my purchased material offline. If you can’t do these things (and we know you can’t because you haven’t) PLEASE let us export the books that we PAID FOR to apps that we can use. Thank you.

Agree with previous reviews. I don’t understand how Lifeway could publish such a bad app. They could use something like Kindle or Nook. I teach Sunday School and travel a lot so I will prepare for my lesson in a place where internet is not always available, like on a plane flight. Since the lesson can’t be downloaded to your computer, I copy and paste a lot of it since I can read on a plane. You have to sign in quite often in order to be able to view the lesson and they do there best to hide the sign in procedure. You can’t adjust font size of the lesson or expand the screen, so I hope you like font size 6 or 8. Terrible app!

Yup it is terrible. No way to download for offline use and you CANT RETURN ANY DIGITAL PURCHSES! So hope you aren’t like me who had never bought a digital book from Lifeway and learned all this after purchasing

I can’t even get over the number of issues I have with this app. First off, it never remembers the last page you were on so I have to screen shot it before I close the app. If you have questions with answer boxes, sometimes they load, sometimes they don’t. I will never purchase a book from Lifeway again.

I have to redownload the app every time I use it. Please fix this issue.
