LifeWay Reader Customer Insights

1. I was using it for a Bible study book and the book has places to type your response to the questions, but it does not save the answers.

2. What is taking 5 months to fix?I downloaded this app for the first time because of an Ebook Bible study and it doesn't function well.

3. I can read my ebook and I can enter responses to the study questions, but my answers are not saved, renewing this feature useless.

4. I purchased a Bible study book and it wont save any answers I input, and it splits lines in the middle of words.

5. I choose the ebook over hard copy for portability and ease of access - this app provides neither and is virtually useless! Being tech savy I previously had been able to copy, paste and print to make use of the past ebooks.

6. I also have this on an iPad, and it works great there! Really wish this function worked properly, as I'd be far more apt to use it on my phone, instead of having to pull out my iPad.Great idea, but, like Lifeway's other apps, there are fatal bugs and no tech support.

7. I also purchased the video sessions for this particular study and the MP4 video downloads lag when on my laptop, but work on my phone.

8. Only being able to use it on my phone is pointless because I wanted to do the study on my laptop tablet.

9. At least I can read it.The highlight option is difficult to use because it some times highlight and some times it doesn't, they can work on that.

10. Format not easily maneuvered, study set day by day each day one continuous screen, so unable to bookmark page.

11. And the fill in or note option on some of the books doesn't work on my tablet.This app is actually pretty terrible.
