Elevation App Reviews

by LegallyRay

I preferred the previous version of ElevationApp that allowed you to download sermons and listen to them later. It allowed me to consume less data. Also, I was able to multitask while listening. I am unable to do anything else on my phone while using ElevationApp or it will turn off the sermon. When I return, the sermon starts back from the beginning. Previously, I could download a sermon while on WiFi to listen to when driving. I could listen to the downloaded sermon and use my navigation app simultaneously. I’m unable to do that now.

I really like Elevation church and that they have their sermons online and through ElevationApp, but ElevationApp itself needs some work. To be notified that you must enable location services to always every single time you use ElevationApp 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 ElevationApp 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 ElevationApp itself much better. But again I am grateful for this church and their thoughtfulness to put the message online as they do.

This is strictly a review for ElevationApp . Elevation Church & Pastor Steven Furtick are beyond 5 stars.

I really liked the old app. I was able to take notes while listening to messages and I had a reading plan started. But now with the new update, I cannot seem to login to my account. It doesn’t accept my email & password, and when I try to reset my password it never sends an email to me to do that. Hoping this gets fixed soon.

This rating is solely on ElevationApp , I love the sermons and they bless me every day! However, this week ElevationApp changed and you can no longer see the sermons in icons as you scroll, more per screen- now they are list style just like everyone else’s. I truly enjoyed the layout before, as you could see more to select from. Lastly the sermon screen no longer rotates when enlarged, they stay vertical, I checked and it is not my phone settings. Please fix this- ElevationApp was great!

I love ElevationApp, especially since I don’t have an elevation campus near me! ElevationApp also made it easy to listen on the go, but unfortunately with the recent update it’s been difficult since the option to just listen [like a podcast] has been disabled.

Please bring the option back. Otherwise great app!

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!!

Is there a way to change the Audio player to read from different versions of bibles? Like instead of the NIV read from the NLT version?

Also when I would watch the sermons they always tend to repeat at certain times and not move forward so it would be stuck. Is there an update coming soon to fix this or a way for me to fix this on my own?

One more thing is I think it would be great to be able to listen to the sermons in the background of apps or when your phones screen is off. Then ElevationApp would be perfect.

I love ElevationApp a lot it has everything I want and need except for the concerns I have above. Thank you so much for ElevationApp!

Before the update we could listen to the messages w/o being on the screen, which was a huge battery saver. Please add that feature back but great app!

by CocoTrudy

The layout isn’t great but ElevationApp serves it’s purpose. Like any new app or website, you have to go exploring to figure out where everything is or you can just use the search bar to try to find something a bit faster. Thank you Elevation Church for providing this resource to help me in furthering my relationship with God. 🙏❤️

My name is Ashley Brooke Ritter I have been watching Bro & Sis Furt & elevation for about 7 years now. The last two years mostly. I am so thankful that you brought the word to my living room where we’d have church together even before covid.
Without elevation online & pastors I can handle it, the do it again track, without in this I must be confident & his real ness, I truly believe the enemy would of convinced me to end my own life. From giving my daughter up for adoption, toxic relationships, addiction, bars, casinos and random men I was a mess! I feel as if I know you guys & you helped save me. Last year my word was GraceWorks I now have an established business called “GraceWorks” still working on the details and whether or not the lord wants it to be a non profit, my story sounds unbelievable but he’s never left me one time, he has ran after me.
It didn’t click until a couple months back that grace doesn’t just work I am saved by grace. I’d love to join a group maybe even do more. I have let fear get the best of me without going into too much detail. I was born into a spirit filled family, strayed away for over a decade and I’ve returned home where I belong! I’m sorry I could’ve done more but will commit most definitely 2021. I can’t he can, he can through me!

Content is great. With new update I cannot see what series each message is tied to. You have to tap each message to see the series it belongs to. Also, I can’t listen to audio version (had to download podcasts app). Only video. Please fix.

I have had ElevationApp for almost a year and I absolutely love it! You can listen off-line and download sermons so you don't even use your data! I actually feel like I am a member of this church from thousand miles away! Thank you!

by Sean_h0811

ElevationApp is absolutely great and I love it because it lets me keep everything in track with Elevation and all that. The only issue is, every time I try to reset my password, I never get the email. So I am never able to save the data I have or retreat the date I used to have. Please find a way to fix this.

I have loved Elevation from the very first time i walk into the church!!! Now that I’m not in the area to attend church I’m Thankful to be able to watch live or online. Pastor Steven Furtick is always on fire when he preaching the word. I thank God for allowing Pastor Furtick to deliver his message and I’m thankful for this Elevation app allowing me to stay connected!!!

by Breezybears

Love ElevationApp however, my battery drains within 4-5 hours due to the background location services to be on “always” otherwise, it will not let me use ElevationApp . Also, is there a way that checks off what sermons we have watched in the past? If, not might be helpful.

by A.S.C.89

No matter which series I’m on it’s always something I need to hear...I was wondering though, how come we can not download the sermons anymore? I always liked that feature. That way if I wanted to share with someone at a later time I didn’t have to try to remember exactly where is was if it was in the downloaded sermons it made it easier to find.
Thank you for sharing the word.

You’re probably here because you’ve been moved by Steven Furticks sermons. If you aren’t near an elevation church, have an unpredictable life or health, or another reason going weekly isn’t workable, God understands. You need a weekly reality check, Bible lesson, and uplifting. Use ElevationApp to connect, play sermons wherever whenever, get reminders it’s time for church, and give securely. It’s anything you need from church without any pushiness, money begging, guilting, or judging. Best church app.

In my journey with Jesus, I have come across many avenues. I have had ElevationApp 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...

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 use ElevationApp on my iPad mostly, and the display has always turned sideways so I could view in full screen on my iPad, or propping my phone on a stand sideways. Now, that is no longer supported. I can still listen, but can’t really watch anymore on my iPad. Please bring that functionality back. Thank you!
