Disappointing

2022-05-22

Crashes frequently, often unable to play episodes and when I contacted them about it multiple times and was ignored or told “we don’t know why that happens sorry” with no resolution. Search function is not good comparable to other podcast apps, it makes it difficult to search on a subject. Some fun... Show more

Not worth it.

2022-06-23

App itself is decent. Nothing special. It doesn’t connect to google home speakers like other apps do. That’s a major con for me.

Overwhelming majority of content is stuff that’s free and can be accessed on other better apps. The amount of original content is minimal. Not all of it is even ... Show more

Can’t sign in with already created account

2022-07-24

Signed up online for the annual subscription and created an account there. When I downloaded LuminaryPodcastsOriginals , there’s no place to sign in with an existing account. It only makes you create an account with Google, Apple, etc. If you go to create an account with email it will note that you... Show more

Why support an app that memory-holes its own premium content?

2022-08-25

The beauty of podcasting is its open nature: make something, release it to the world. That’s how I discovered A Very Fatal Murder years after its release. Terrific, terrific stuff.

Season 1 was released broadly, but season 2? A Luminary exclusive. Alright, I thought. What the heck. Worth to... Show more

Really wanted to enjoy it...

2022-09-26

I hate LuminaryPodcastsOriginals. As a podcast lover I really wanted to like it bc the regular podcast app has flaws but after using and (paying) for luminary I like that one better. My main complaints.

1. Every time I open LuminaryPodcastsOriginals it plays the same Lena Dunham podcast t... Show more

Spooked gave me demonic sleep paralysis

2022-10-27

UPDATE;
I loved LuminaryPodcastsOriginals mainly for Spooked podcast but the other day I fell asleep listening to it and I had sleep paralysis for the first time in YEARS and i tried to open my eyes but couldnt and each time could hear demons screaming inside me. In the dream where I was aware ... Show more

Annoying at times but worth it

2022-11-28

Luminary has a great selection and I love LuminaryPodcastsOriginals . My only complaint is that sometimes it will close out of nowhere and take a minute to reload and get back to the podcast I was listening to. Also it’s inconsistent, sometimes when I close LuminaryPodcastsOriginals , it will hold ... Show more

Masterful Audio Production, but App Needs Improvement

2022-12-29

After listening to several original podcasts including British Villains, Anthem: Homunculus, and Spooked; I am blown away by the outstanding audio production quality and content. However, I’ve experienced some streaming interruptions when my phone automatically locks itself or LuminaryPodcastsOrigi... Show more

Love/Hate relationship with this app

2023-01-30

Pros: all of my podcasts are in one place! I originally signed up to listen to Guys We Fked but I’ve found several other podcasts on here that i really love.
Cons: LuminaryPodcastsOriginals runs so slow on my phone. It times out so i have to close and reopen LuminaryPodcastsOriginals 1-2 time... Show more

Please make compatible with Apple Watch!

2023-03-03

LuminaryPodcastsOriginals has great content, and I love the ability to pay for and support content creators. However, I mainly listen while running - which is far more conducive to do via Apple Watch then to have to lug my phone around. If LuminaryPodcastsOriginals doesn’t create compatibility wi...

App is okay, podcasts are great!

2023-04-01

As the title suggest LuminaryPodcastsOriginals could use some tweaks and improvements. The search feature is not quite accurate and crashes a lot. I have had issues with downloading content and downloads in general being unplayable at times. Other than that the content is great. I love the wide va... Show more

Needs better sleep timer

2023-05-03

I like Luminary a lot I think it is a very good podcast app. I love listening to podcast stories to fall asleep but also like being able to pick up at the same episode and rewind a little. The sleep timer doesn’t have a lot of options though which I think is a major downfall. A custom option on the... Show more

The reason you exist is great but...

2023-06-03

A little limiting for me but it has Russell Brand so, good on you. OK, the play button with the two adjoining buttons on either side, one of them doesn’t fit on my iPhone X screen. Not a big deal but just want to let you know. Still no iPad app that works and vertical as well as horizontal. This is... Show more

Excellent - deep and thoughtful and like nothing you’ve ever heard

2023-07-05

Very well produced and incredible content, thought provoking. It’s unfortunate many will not hear it because they won’t join Luminary. Too many subscriptions out there in general. Hopefully it can be made available to general public.

Spooked

2023-08-05

I am obsessed with all of the spooked stories. Listening to stories while working everyday has become an addiction at this point. The only thing that I can come up with that would make It better would be to have some sort of system identifying if a particular episode is on the free subscription on ... Show more

Spooked

2023-09-06

Granted I only have listened to spooked and became a patreon because of it but aye. We want more!!! If you could make this a year round podcast… I’d pay more for it🔥🖤🙏🏼 “spooked” is one of my favorite things to distract me from my regular work day! Keep it up! My favorite way to find legit spoo...

One of the BEST radio shows EVER!

2023-10-08

I have been a dedicated Snap Judgment listener… the first episode I heard was late at night on my way home from work about this convenient store worker who saved a bunch of people in a tornado. Then I discovered Spooked, and I was enchanted!

I never believed in the supernatural… but I am a ... Show more

Unsatisfied

2023-11-08

I have had trouble using the luminary app. I often have to close out LuminaryPodcastsOriginals and reopen it multiple times, in order to listen to an episode. Many of the episodes I listen to take forever to load. I hope this gets fixed soon because I do love the podcasts that are on the platform.

Essential to my life

2023-12-10

I use air travel constantly for work and listening to podcasts has become a regular part of my routine. I joined Luminary specifically for the GWF podcast and since then I have found so many other shows I enjoy. It is so easy and convenient download episodes to listen without wifi or cell servic...

Modern Podcasting

2024-01-10

I love the layout and ease of using Luminary! They make it easy to know when I have a new episode available for a podcast I subscribe to, AND make it easy to see recommended podcasts. The entire Luminary experience has been amazing. Compared to other apps, they are by far my favorite. Plus exclusiv... Show more

Couldn’t even start listening so deleting

2024-12-22

I am such a fan of one podcast (Spooked) that I finally relented and attempted to download LuminaryPodcastsOriginals as it has exclusive episodes. LuminaryPodcastsOriginals makes you sign up. Fine. Not doing Facebook, so options are Google (no), email or Apple. Tried email but the keyboard just d... Show more

MANY Interface issues

2024-12-22

The most recent issue is 175 listings of one podcast under the “your latest episodes” section - and nothing else.
A long standing issue is the inability to push to an earlier part of a podcast — the only option is to tap the :15 sec rewind button over and over and over and over and over and over... Show more

Spooked brought me

2024-12-22

I have LuminaryPodcastsOriginals for Spooked and love that pod. LuminaryPodcastsOriginals itself glitches out, stops playing or closes. I have to go back in, re-find the show to get it started again. A bit frustrating when on long drives and it stops playing. I use LuminaryPodcastsOriginals a to... Show more

Compelling content

2024-12-22

Great content - I look forward to finding net shows. My only complaint is LuminaryPodcastsOriginals could benefit from a bit of a UX refresh. When I find a new shows, it's hard for me to find the whole show and all the episodes to choose from without extra steps which I see as unnecessary.

Fantastic app

2024-12-22

LuminaryPodcastsOriginals is fantastic, and has improved light years over the last year or so. I love the smooth flow, the aesthetics, and usability. I’m not currently a paying member, but LuminaryPodcastsOriginals and the content are so good, I’ll be signing up soon for sure. Keep up the great w... Show more

Best content around

2024-12-22

Honestly was a bit skeptical at first of the subscription content behind a paywall, but after being a listener and subscriber for a few months I can say this is well worth it.

Love the shows!
