Elevation App

First let me say, I LOVE the content, the church, etc. This would have been a 5 star rating if it weren’t for the operational issues I’m experiencing with the app. #1 - when you search for a sermon series, you don’t get the complete list of all the sermons. I’m wanting to watch a series in chronological order but the results will only show a handful of the sermons, in no particular order (for example, using random dates for illustration- you can see June 10, 14, 17th sermons, but where are the ones from 11,12,13,15,16? I have to go to the 10th, look down below under ‘more from this series’ and there I *might* find the 11th). #2 - when you pause a sermon, it times out after a few minutes and the app completely resets. I like to listen while multitasking, so if I pause for too long, I loose completely where I was in a sermon, have to search for it again and try to find where I left off. Sort of frustrating and discourages me to even try to use the app. I really hope the developer reads this and can address these issues, because if those were fixed, for me personally and what I use it for, this would be a perfect app.

I really like Elevation church and that they have their sermons online and through this app, but the app itself needs some work. To be notified that you must enable location services to always every single time you use the app is very frustrating! That needs to stop. It would be great if you could listen to the sermon while your screen is off. Like iTunes music. It is a battery drainer to have to leave the screen on for 30 to 45 minutes at a time is battery drainer. As well let’s say you are watching a sermon, close the app and have to go back to work. The location of where you at in the sermon has not been saved in cache. Meaning you have to thumb slide to time you last remembered watching on the timer. These three fixes alone would make the app itself much better. But again I am grateful for this church and their thoughtfulness to put the message online as they do.

One day I received random text messages from a leader in my life. It happened to be the “backseat Dj” sermon. I’ve listened to many different spiritual sermons but Pastor Steven Furtick messages were delivered in away, where I was able to understand. He stops and explains. I listened to that sermon 3 times that day because I thought I was missing something, and what that was is to continue to listen. I went back and listed to maybe 3-5 (so far) other sermons. I will re-listen to the same one a couple of times, justbecause I like to jot certain thoughts or pause and repeat. Pastor Steven Furtick, I just wanted to say thank you for ALLL you have delivered to the world, and sharing with us the word God speaks through you. Thank you for the the encouraging words and motivating ya to continue “drippin”. May God forever bless you, and your family. I am so grateful you’ve been introduced into my life. I encourage you to listen and listen again and apply what is being said to your life. I’m a 25 years old girl struggling with my career but on my dark days Pastor Steven Furticks’ sermons reminds me that Jesus has me, and it will be ok because it is HIS will. Thank you again!

I love listening to all of the speakers and soaking up their knowledge. I appreciate the fact that there is a huge push to assure that everyone can be reached and enjoy the word of God if they choose. I love versatility in the speakers and the real life examples that make the Bible relatable. ** I am having trouble with the sermons looping. It seems like throughout the sermon, it will replay the same seconds over and over again. I am able to watch other videos in other apps so I’m thinking there may be a glitch** Overall wonderful app!!

In my journey with Jesus, I have come across many avenues. I have had this app on my phone and smart TV for months and never listened. One day I just clicked on it and I feel like only after watching a few sermons the trajectory of my life is forever changed take a moment to do something different with your day, carve out time to be with the Word and with Jesus. it is amazing how God places just the right message in your path that you need to hear in the right moment. Listen/watch Elevation Church and allow it to change your life too...
