Lion s Roar Reviews

At some point in 2017 LionsRoar stopped working for me. Unlike some people leaving reviews, I never got any kind of communication from Lion’s Roar. I did go to their website and saw some notice that LionsRoar was being upgraded and wouldn’t function in the meantime (as an aside, what kind of I.T. leadership does this magazine have that totally abandoning your existing app/platform is acceptable while you prepare a new one?). I knew that my subscription through iTunes was ending anyway so I resubscribed directly from LR for a digital subscription after being assured by a customer service rep that LionsRoar would be functional in time for the January issue. But that ended up not being true, so I called to cancel and get a refund. All I can get is a prorated refund even though I have not received one issue under my new subscription. The rep I spoke to said they hoped to have LionsRoar ready by the end of this week. It’s Thursday, so I’m not confident in that timeline. I went ahead with my partial refund knowing I will never pay a dime to this magazine again. Maybe I’ll go read the issues at a Barnes and Noble while having coffee.

I have been a digital subscriber for a long time, now I can’t access my old issues with LionsRoar or view new ones. I have 6 months left on my sub..but no new issues and no refund? New issues requires a re-sub...at $10 more per year price increase and still not able access my old issues? Disappointed.

I have LionsRoar downloaded on my iPhone X. Once I log in I do not see my issues or really anything at all. When I click the settings wheel (upper right corner) all I see is subscribe or sign in on on tab, and nothing on the prefs tab.

LionsRoar has been broken for several weeks now. It won’t load any magazine articles, old nor new. At first I thought this was temporary as the foundation sent out an email saying they were updating something on the backend. However, it’s been several weeks and LionsRoar still doesn’t work.

Don't waste your money on a digital subscription. The only benefit is the ability to bookmark articles you like. I have been unable to access the digital subscription I pad for since June 2021 and subscriber services has done nothing to resolve the issue or reimburse me for the inaccessible subscription.

The apps on both my iPhone and iPad quit working. I paid for a digital subscription and no longer have access to it. I’ve deleted the apps, then reinstalled only to find out i don’t even have the old issues to read.

I just subscribed a few weeks ago and have enjoyed LionsRoar , but now it's trying to force me to buy issues or subscribe from within LionsRoar even though I'm logged in!

LionsRoar is working, but it can only be read in portrait mode on the ipad. I would greatly prefer it to be able to switch to the horizontal position.

Great content, but platform needs improvement. Please update to improve performance and function better.

Quick magazine download times, friendly user interface and perfectly functional for your ability to access your magazine digitally. I only do not give it 5 stars because I feel 5 stars means it's an exceptional and goes above and beyond expectations type of app.

I love lions roar — I read it every day. One way I think LionsRoar could be improved is if the same tabs available on desktop/mobile were implemented. For example, I frequent the “Teachings” tab on desktop/mobile, but LionsRoar does not have this; I am limited to the top stories or to searching for articles with the search bar. Adding the same tabs would streamline everything and make it more user-friendly.

Whether your new to the ideas of mindfulness and Buddhism or a long time practitioner, this is the magazine for you. It is always the first magazine I read and “cover to cover”.

LionsRoar is great The only thing it’s having a hard time tweeting or posting thank you . Semper Fi 🙏

Nice format and good you can find back magazines

Lion’s Roar does a superb job of presenting articles and points of view that capture the essence of Buddhist teachings in a concise way. As a Unitarian Universalist minister who is deeply informed by Buddhism and increasingly drawn to Buddhist spiritual practices, I am most grateful for this resource.

I learn a lot from lions roar and I get a lot of wisdom from reading the articles

Opening this allows you to shift gears...

Take a beep breath in through your nose and exhale through your mouth. Relax... Lions Roar is my respite from the pain the my local news agency reports. Read, Reflect, Relax.

Through this ap, I can read anytime, gain inspiration, share that inspiration and joyously move on into the next thing… thank you lion’s roar

Insightful, accessible, and user-friendly, I high recommend LionsRoar for anyone wishing to know more about themselves, others, and the world around them.

As stated above.

LionsRoar is useless right now. Issues won’t even load. I’ve already tried to delete and reinstall. Still doesn’t work.

BIGGER TEXT SIZE PLEASE.
I’m a long time subscriber to Shambhala Sun, and I enjoy reading this magazine in it’s print form. I decided to give it a chance on my iPad mini, to be more environmentally friendly. The new app works well and I enjoy the dynamic layouts and multimedia format. However, the type size is TOO SMALL. I wish there was a way to set a larger font size to read more easily. This is a good app, but one tiny tweak would make it a great app. Thank you.

It’s the best magazine for Mahayana Buddist, I love it
It’s going to bring me home.
