Latter-day Saints Channel Reviews

by Neal-Natalie's Computer

For years my family has tried to Stream general conference, either audio or video, using LatterdaySaintsChannel. Having not use LatterdaySaintsChannel in about a year, I tried it again for October 2017 conference. Again it did not stream properly, in fact I would say it did not strange at all. Audio would come through in bursts every 5 to 10 seconds and would be played at a rate so fast, it was not able to understand.

This isn’t very easy to use. Plus I liked it better when we had a separate app for the kid videos. My son could just open that one app and watch the videos he liked. He was only two. Now at three and a half he needs lots of help with this new app plus I don’t like him to just have at it all by himself. There are scary things on here for a three year old so I literally have to monitor an LDS app that has kid features. Bring back the old app Mormon Channel Kids – Illustrated Children’s Stories

LatterdaySaintsChannel could be an amazing resource for Church members but it is so buggy and unusable. You took away so many good features. Please make it so you can search and listen at the same time again. Please put search by Apostles back. Please make it not crash when searching old General Conferences, oh wait, put those back too. I can’t remember all the problems. I quit using it because it’s so disappointing. This could really be helpful to someone seeking inspiration but you’ve changed it and taken away so much good stuff. Also, could you add a General Conference radio channel? I don’t need Primary or Youth programs at all, a Conference channel would be amazing!

Let me be clear that the content within LatterdaySaintsChannel is great. That isn’t what I’m rating.

LatterdaySaintsChannel is hands down the slowest loading app on my phone. It takes a very, very long time.

The radio doesn’t fit to my screen, so the play/pause button are unusable in LatterdaySaintsChannel (I can pause from my Lock Screen). The music and the music information do not match a lot of the time.

LatterdaySaintsChannel doesn’t remember where you were in previous listening. You can’t even tell what podcasts/episodes you’ve previously listened to. If you’re trying to listen to a podcast and LatterdaySaintsChannel is closed, I hope you know what minute of what episode you were on because LatterdaySaintsChannel doesn’t remember.

LatterdaySaintsChannel isn’t responsive, taking several taps before something loads.

There is just so much that needs improved. I want LatterdaySaintsChannel to be a bigger part of my life, but it is kinda frustrating to use, which makes me avoid it.

Many talks specifically by the general authority or apostles will not load or down load properly. It will show the talk you select it it goes to the page but will never play the time stays at 0 and does nothing. Also many times if I download a audio talk or video it just won’t work. It shows its good but fails to play at all even if I delete it and re download it multiple times.

The player will in LatterdaySaintsChannel fails to function correctly. It delays play, gets stuck in player mode after audio episodes are played, when I close LatterdaySaintsChannel completely and open it up again hoping it’s will reset LatterdaySaintsChannel . I have to turn off my phone and turn it back on again only then will LatterdaySaintsChannel restart.

I love the concept of LatterdaySaintsChannel but there is lots of room for improvement in making it more functional and easy to use. It needs to be obvious which episodes you have previously listened to without having to go back and search through your history. It’s really frustrating when I start a conversation episode or something as I’m driving only to find I already listened to it and can’t change it now that I’m driving. It should have a time bar showing how far you’ve listened from the icon before you click in. The conversations section should include obvious dates the episodes were recorded to give the listener a time reference. It should also auto play when you are in a given section so when you are driving and listening to the daily messages you don’t have to stop and start the next one manually. I guess LatterdaySaintsChannel would just seem more functional if it played more like the podcast app.

I like to listen to the radio stations throughout my day but at least every minute or so the sound cuts out and it becomes annoying. I had LatterdaySaintsChannel installed before and it did it then too, I then deleted LatterdaySaintsChannel , I've just reinstalled and it's still doing it all the time.

I didn’t realize the difference between an app on Apple TV and the Apple TV app. This channel is nowhere to be found on the Apple TV app on my new smart tv, so I’m guessing it is only offered as an app on an Apple TV, Roku, ect... Still enjoying LatterdaySaintsChannel on iPad, although it does seem harder to navigate.

I wish you were able to create a playlist. You used to be able to do that on LatterdaySaintsChannel , then it updated and now you can’t. It would also be nice if we got the playlist feature if we could add stuff in whatever order we want and not in newly posted at the top. It made it hard for the podcasts that were in a story line to listen to them in order. I don’t like how it’s not easy to tell what you have and haven’t listed too. I liked the previous layout of LatterdaySaintsChannel better and thought it was more user friendly.

Can you please please add a ‘play all’ feature in the scripture stories (the videos that are straight out of the scripture stories books) in the Roku app? I hate that I have to sit there and turn on each one, my kids would watch them much more often if we could just start it and go!!!

by Aljohnson513

We love LatterdaySaintsChannel and use it frequently on our mobile devices, tablets, and Roku. It seems the last update removed easy access to the scripture stories with a group of children discussing the story. My children are bummed since they listened to them each day during their “quiet time.”

I enjoy all the content but it drives me crazy when I have only partially listened to a session that I have to search for that particular program all over again I wish I could open LatterdaySaintsChannel and would see the exact program I left off on.

LatterdaySaintsChannel is great and is frequently used in my home. Would love the option to cast audio or video. I have several Google home speakers and I would love to be able to cast Conference throughout my home or play music in a similar way.

We live in Louisiana and I listen to the talk radio while driving and doing chores almost every day. I cannot begin to explain the increase in knowledge and testimony I have received by listening to the Saints Channel. It helps me to keep my sacrament covenant to remember Him, and thereby I have His Spirit to be with me in more abundance to deal with the calamities of our day. Thank you so much for providing this great service! My favorite shows are general conference replays, History of the Hymns, anything historical, chapter books by leaders, and any shows highlighting success stories of people who have overcome obstacles. The variety keeps it very interesting!

This is a fantastic app and I use it frequently. One feature I would love to see added is a sleep timer. It would be great to be able to fall asleep to the music.

by LincolnM5

LatterdaySaintsChannel is a great way to get some personal study in when other scripture studies with family is done. I love that most everything is functional and easy to use, it is great to have LatterdaySaintsChannel.

I love all of the new content in the new app. But, when viewing full-screen video content in LatterdaySaintsChannel , pressing the close button closes the content but then reopens it. You have to kill LatterdaySaintsChannel if you want to go back to the home screen. Other than this little issue, LatterdaySaintsChannel design and reliability is pretty decent. I’m running the iOS version of LatterdaySaintsChannel .

This ap helps me every day to start of right! I am able to listen to inspiring words that will help me have the spirit to guide me during the day. I listen while getting ready, driving, cooking, and more! It's great for those on the go days and helps make the most of the time you have! Highly recommended! The only thing I wish it had was a little checkmark or something to show I have already listened to something. There is so much amazing content and it's not bad to listen to thing same things again, but if you are trying to complete a certain area and listen to them all it's easy to get mixed up. Go download this ap! :)

by Lds Orchard

I love the lds church channels because I can get the scriptures and music and even get to listen to general conference all the time from when I’am going to church, or even going on long day road trips too. So I am going to give this a 5 star rating. And a special thank you to the church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints!

I’m not impressed with the BYU Computer Science department - assuming that’s who makes all this LDS software. LatterdaySaintsChannel would be great if it was easier to navigate, and especially if the channels’ description meant anything. If you wanna hear music go to the music channel. If you wanna hear music you can also go to the Talk channel because that’s all they play on there too. They laugh at the people who turn to the talk channel thinking they might hear an uplifting talk from the general authorities or some nice interview. NOPE! literally every time I listen to that Talk channel it’s “MUSIC and the Spoken Word”. At least there’s a little talking in that. Usually it’s not very spiritual though. Just today I turned it on and guess what was on? Organ music! Without even any singing or lyrics!!! It hangs a lot on videos and stops and starts on audio. It’s really a beta test with a content manager that has no clue what the word “talk” means.

We frequently use LatterdaySaintsChannel to hear and see the Good Word. The user interface is solid and content is strong. I recommend it to all.
