Adventures in Odyssey Club Reviews

Since the update AdventuresinOdysseyClub is horrible. I open it to listen to an episode and it will not load anything. I have to close AdventuresinOdysseyClub and reopen in order for it to load, sometimes I have to do this a couple of times. It won’t play some episodes, it gives an “error” message and says it “can not load”.

With the old app I can select episodes I want to play by adding them to the queue. With this update I am unable to do so. I have to play the whole album. My kids and I listen to them as we lay down for bed. Sometimes one episode will put us to bed, so previously I’d select one or maybe two episodes so we fall asleep and then are not waken up later on to more episodes. Well now the whole album plays therefore it goes on well into the night, waking us up. I do not like the new app update, I wish you all would go back to original format it worked great and did not need to be changed.

Very frustrated user.

My family LOVES adventures in odyssey! We’ve been faithful listeners for over 12 years and members of the club since the beginning. However this new update to AdventuresinOdysseyClub has me frustrated. I’ve tried everything to get my son logged in on his device with no success. The devices I have been able to get logged in on are aggravating to navigate through. I do like some of the new features like playlist, profiles, and parental controls but I miss being able to just tap AdventuresinOdysseyClub icon and go straight to listening. This new app kicks us out and it takes three different web pages for it load back. It’s frustrating to use off Wi-Fi at times as well. I really really don’t like that it seems more like a webpage than an app. Please bring back the simplicity of the old version!
Also I don’t understand why with all the new stuff they didn’t make it apple play friendly. Even if it allowed downloaded episodes on apple play it would be nice.

Our family has always loved Adventures in Odyssey! The club had been such a fun addition, and my girls had loved listening to their favorite adventures frequently. However, I just became aware that AdventuresinOdysseyClub /website has a comment section on the most recent club adventures that is being used as a chat room. Having our kids chat with strangers was NOT our family’s intention in belonging to the AIO club. I just think parents should be aware of this feature so they can monitor their kids’ use of the club membership. After contacting FotF, I found out that for older online club profiles, parents’ cannot turn off commenting ability. Thus, we would have to create new profiles instead to access those parental controls. However, due to our personal negative experience, we are canceling our membership effective immediately and will no longer be using the club. I’m glad we already have many CDs…

I give the show 5 stars and AdventuresinOdysseyClub 1 star, leaving my overall review at 2.5 stars at this point. The new update while robust, is painfully broken. The queue was one of the best aspects of the original app. I could queue up 2-3 episodes of the show for my kids to listen to while falling asleep. Now that the queue is gone and the create playlist feature is still broken, we are forced to continue to go and keep selecting new episodes after one has finished. The original version of AdventuresinOdysseyClub , though very simple, was extremely elegant in its design. It was intuitive and easy to use, something that is important for young listeners. The new version is chock-full of great possibilities. But when the basics are broken, the extras seem much less enjoyable. Once the issues with AdventuresinOdysseyClub are fixed, I’m beyond stoked to move my review up to 5 stars!!

This is my favorite audio series, and I really do love it. Adventures in Odyssey has been a big part of my life in many ways. Loved it when the club came out with an app and I enjoyed AdventuresinOdysseyClub for years. I’ve been a faithful subscriber for those years. $9.99 a month seems like a steal for so much amazing content… at least until the last big update. I still love AIO but ever since the last app update I haven’t been able to play a single episode. I can open AdventuresinOdysseyClub and even look at the comics but it won’t play episodes. It isn’t my phone either. In all the same places that I used to be able to listen and download I’m unable to now because of AdventuresinOdysseyClub . I don’t know what happened with what appears to have been a well thought out and hard-worked-for update, but something got bungled somewhere. I said it before and I say it again, I love AIO, but if I’m not going to be able to listen there’s no need in paying the $$$ to get to hear nothing. Hope this gets fixed quickly. It’s a real waste for such a good thing to have gotten so spectacularly goofed up.

I’ve been a loyal fan of AIO and Focus On The Family for years and years. I’ve been a club member on and off for about the same amount of time. I love their content and I enjoy listening to it with my siblings. But ever since the new app redesign came out, my experience with AdventuresinOdysseyClub has been terrible at best. AdventuresinOdysseyClub is now laggy and slow (especially after using AdventuresinOdysseyClub directly after waking the device up from sleep). I’ve tried multiple devices, but to no avail. I’ve even had to reinstall AdventuresinOdysseyClub due to it not even loading on my phone anymore. If it weren’t for the bad experience with AdventuresinOdysseyClub , I’d give AdventuresinOdysseyClub and club 5 stars. But until then, I find it really hard to use. I do hope these issues are fixed soon.

Nevertheless, the club is an amazing subscription and great deal. Tons and tons of content to keep you entertained.

Hello. I really love the new app. I am actually an older listener, and I have listened and re-listened to just about all of the adventures. It gives me something to listen to while I get work done, and I have not found another show like this one-no matter how hard or how many times I’ve tried. I appreciate the more positive and pure outlooks, especially in such a negative, twisted world. ——— Also, just wanted to say I absolutely love the playlists, favorites and recently played sections on the updated app! —————— There are two things that, If they were tweaked, would make things a little smoother. One is, AdventuresinOdysseyClub signs me out after every use, so I have to sign back in every time I open it. Also, the “only stream over wifi” button will not stay off. It keeps reseting and turning itself back on…

Love the show and love the idea of AdventuresinOdysseyClub but even since this version came out I have had nothing but trouble with AdventuresinOdysseyClub . It would also crash and then have error message all the time i could not listen to one after another without having to close and open again but I could listen. Them it started about a month ago doing this thing where it says I have no Internet every time I open AdventuresinOdysseyClub . I’ve deleted it from my phone reinstalled it and it continues to do the same thing saying I have no Internet all i get is error message say your offline.( and I am not I have ever gone into settings and made sure AdventuresinOdysseyClub was online) I can’t use it at all and it erased everything I had downloaded so I can’t listen to anything.
It just doesn’t work at all for me anymore! Very disappointing.

I have had aio since 2019. I love the adventures, I love everything about their mission. But I’ve had so many technical issues with AdventuresinOdysseyClub since the new update came out. When I first updated it, I downloaded a bunch of episodes bc I was going on a trip. Well.. next thing I know the downloads aren’t showing up and I kept redownloading everything and that kept happening. Finally, ig the problem solved itself. Today, I went into AdventuresinOdysseyClub and it was working fine. But after listening to 1 episode I went to my next episode and it was playing fine. But then I paused it and left for 2 min and came back and i try to play it but it says error. Then I thought I just had to get out of AdventuresinOdysseyClub to and restart it. So I do that and on the screen it says error. I keep doing that and I even shut my iPad all the way off and it doesn’t work and I can’t get into my profile. Then it just keeps saying on the screen: signing in.....
I’m rlly mad and I just want it to work. I do love the new layout of AdventuresinOdysseyClub though. I like how they have playlists and how they have the series and story arcs. But I rlly hope this problem is fixed bc I love AdventuresinOdysseyClub. ❤️😭🥺

It’s a lot of fun to listen too AIO episodes almost any were. If your new to Adventures In Odyssey it completely clean and there are a few episodes were they want you to have your parents listen if your under 10 years old. There is ever single episode on the albums in store and some that aren’t out yet. Plus some really fun adventures which are bonus episodes. If your new and don’t no were to start I started around album 49 if I remember right. You do have to pay for it the price depends on how long you paid for but it is so worth it. The episodes show kids what to do in a lot of different situations for a Christian perspectives I know personally it’s help me with sum situations and it helps me to read the Bible more. The only thing is sometimes when you go out of AdventuresinOdysseyClub the episodes will reset and then you have to go back and redo everything. So other then that AdventuresinOdysseyClub is amazing.

I’ve had adventures in odyssey club for a while now. I grew up on AIO and now that cassette tapes are irrelevant this is a great alternative. However, as of this past year or so AdventuresinOdysseyClub will randomly time out constantly. It is frustrating because it could lose an entire episode and play it just fine and stay connected. Or the episode will play for a little bit then completely log me out of AdventuresinOdysseyClub and I have to keep logging in. It will say network error and all the episodes will turn gray. I understand if the service isn’t great but when I have 5g it will still shut itself down randomly. Matter of fact as I’m writing this it just turned off in the middle of an episode and logged me out again. Please fix this. Even if multiple people are logged onto their own separate profiles on the main email setup it should still work. But it kind of ruins the stories especially if I don’t have a free hand to hurry up and log back in for a while.

However, the great thing about AdventuresinOdysseyClub is that AIO club has everything you need in one when it comes to classics to newly made episodes and trivia and gear as well! Love everything about AIO.

I love adventures in odyssey and AdventuresinOdysseyClub has been awesome to have, but I have one thing that would be nice to get changed. I don’t like how the auto-play feature starts to play more than what I have in my queue. I’ll put a playlist in my queue and if I have it on auto-play, after the last episode in the playlist is done, it will just start adding random episodes. However, if I turn off auto-play, it won’t play everything in my queue. It will only play one episode at a time and then stop. I have to manually play each episode. Could there be a way to set up the player where everything that’s in your queue plays automatically without having to turn on auto-play? That way people who simply want one episode to play can just add one episode to the queue and their problems are solved. But then someone like me who wants maybe three episodes of my choice to continue playing after one another can also have that option without the queue adding random episodes and playing them for me. I hope that all makes sense. Thank you!

So yeah I have been listening to adventures in odyssey all my life and I am 18 and I still listen, the thing is last year I had AIO club and it was great I open AdventuresinOdysseyClub and I could resume the episode I was listening to before even after not opening AdventuresinOdysseyClub in a week, the episode would still be able to play where it last left off, another thing was the downloading was so simple, I could look at album and download all the episodes in seconds . BUT Now I have to click on an album to individually in each one and press download and also it takes like 4 seconds for it to load in, it’s annoying and now I am listening and I stop it and I got back in AdventuresinOdysseyClub and it gets rid of where I was
- brayden, a dear love for the show, but maybe use the old version

So, I’ve been looking at all of the reviews and all the problems I saw people had have been fixed! This is really great to me because I’ve had apps that I paid money for, where I guess the developers just create an app and then don’t put out updates or even read their reviews??? I think that it is really great that the developers of AdventuresinOdysseyClub actually care about their reviews and the people that spent there money on AdventuresinOdysseyClub. I have listened the AIO for pretty much my whole life. They are the best stories out there!! I also really like they’re suspenseful ones, some of them are really long and we listen to them when we have sleepovers and when we’re on our way to vacation somewhere or anything like that and just out of the blue. I would REALLY love for AIO to come out with a new mysterious type story soon!! Keep up the good work!!! ☺️

I can’t put in to words on how much I love AdventuresinOdysseyClub I’m 11 years old and I have been leasing since I was 9 and AdventuresinOdysseyClub is amazing I love adventures in Odyssey I have some of there cds and my parents have the focus on the family app which tells them what movies and shows are good for me and my sister to watch I have learned so much about God and I have grown in my faith and it’s so interesting and fun to listen to I love how u can also listen to stuff for free I listened on that for a little then saved up and got the subscription and I listen to it every day and I’m actually listening to it as I right this review! 😂 I listen to it every night now and it helps me fall asleep and it helps me focus when I do my home work I love AdventuresinOdysseyClub and I think everyone should have it!! 😆😆😆

Our family has been enjoying Adventures in Odyssey since about 1990. We came to love and appreciate the creativity, unique characters and very valuable lessons weaved into the storylines. We feel as if some of the characters are like family. My favorite family was The Barclays and it would be so nice to have them return for a visit to Odyssey so we could see what each of them are up to these days.

The 4 - part episode, “The Best is Yet to Come” was heart -wrenching. We felt as if the scenario was really happening and brought some of us to tears.

We hope that Adventures in Odyssey will continue to bring the gospel message, laughter, joy and godly character building for years to come. This generation needs wholesome teaching and entertainment!

The new club is amazing, and I love listening to all the episodes! Awesome app, love how it has every episode ever in AdventuresinOdysseyClub! Also the sound effects and quality in episodes is exceptionally good!!I would totally recommend AdventuresinOdysseyClub to everyone!! I grew up listening to adventures in odyssey, and I still love it today! Also, if you do have technical problems with the new update, when calling in, the team is super nice and awesome to work with! I looooovvee odyssey, because it not only has episodes about modern day issues, it also has a Christian theme at the end of each episode that pulls it together!! Thanks to all who make this awesome app available, and to the odyssey team!!

I am a younger listener to adventures in odyssey, turning 15 in fact. My family loved the adventures in odyssey app. Loved. Past tense.
Ever since the update I keep having to sign in, and turn of the button for play only over wifi or whatever. The old app was just so much better! AdventuresinOdysseyClub would just be the best if it has the queue and other things that were removed with the update. You might be Thinking, oh, well you can just make a playlist and everything will be ok! NEWS FLASH!! The playlists only let me put in two episodes and rarely even let me into it. It says no content found. I love odyssey. I loved AdventuresinOdysseyClub . But I’m seriously considered cancelling my membership if I’m not paying for fantastic, Christian based entertainment, but an endlessly annoying sign in screen that doesn’t even bring up the keyboard when I REPEATEDLY tap the sections for emails, passwords and what not. Thank you for your time.

I absolutely love odyssey!! I listen to it for hours every week, while I’m driving, getting ready for the day/bed, doing chores, and etc. The team at Focus on the Family does such a good job writing the episodes and putting out new content. The actors are so talented. I find myself laughing, crying, and feeling so many other emotions. They make it so real I feel like I know the characters personally. I felt like I lost a close friend when Will Ryan passed away. I used to listen at home on my laptop, but now with AdventuresinOdysseyClub I am able to listen anywhere at anytime. AdventuresinOdysseyClub is super easy to navigate. Every once in a while there will be a bug, but the team gets it fixed super quickly every time. Thank you to Focus on the Family for all you do. You make an impact on thousands in not millions of people’s lives. ❤️❤️❤️

PS I’d really want Wooton and Penny to have twins. I’d also like Connie and Jeff (or Jason) to get together.

Adventures in odyssey brought me to Jesus! I know that Jesus died for me and he loves me! And I know to make the Wright decisions. I love adventures in odyssey more the anything! I listen to it at night, wile I do my chore, wile I eat lunch and when I have free time! Thank you soooooooooo much for making adventures in odyssey!!!!!!!!!!! I can’t say I much I love it! I love all the mysteries! Honestly I do not know how some people do not like it. It is better then any game or show or movie! It is so amazing and powerful I can not explain it! It did the very best thing in the world to me telling me more about Jesus and becoming a Christian! That is the best thing that someone could do. I am the biggest fan! I have listened to every single episode at least 10 times not kidding. I am always so exited when a new episode comes out! I think everyone should hear it! It could bring more people to Jesus! Thank you so much for making these amazing episodes!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I love it so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so much! I can’t explain it!
