However, multiple Android users report significant issues after updates, particularly with Android 14 compatibility, causing playback problems, forced use of browsers, loss of progress tracking, and frequent crashes. The lack of background play and playback controls further impairs usability, making the app frustrating for daily use despite its valuable content. ### Pros - App provides a vast selection of sermons and series, which users find spiritually enriching and valuable for daily devotions. - Ability to follow specific preachers, churches, and sermon series, allowing personalized content tracking. - Originally supported offline downloads, which was highly appreciated for listening without internet connectivity. - User-friendly compared to previous versions before recent updates. - Content quality is consistently praised as excellent and encouraging. ### Cons - Recent updates caused Android compatibility issues, especially with Android 14, making the app nearly unusable on many devices. - App no longer plays sermons natively; many users are forced to use an external browser, losing app functionality like tracking progress and downloads. - App frequently crashes or stops playback unexpectedly, including issues with audio cutting out after a set time (common around 7 minutes). - No proper playback controls like background play, fast-forward/rewind buttons, or lock screen controls, which hampers usability while multitasking or driving. - Inability to keep track of progress in sermon series, marking completed sermons, or resuming where left off, frustrating regular users. ## Similar extensions and apps - [SermonAudio TV](https://chrome-stats.com/d/com.sermon.tv) — 2,846 users - [GetSermons](https://chrome-stats.com/d/ng.sermons.lumine.sermons_mobile_app) — 2,041 users - [ChurchOne by SermonAudio](https://chrome-stats.com/d/com.sermonaudio.MyChurch) — 13,570 users, 4.21 / 5 - [Listen to Sermons & Preaching](https://chrome-stats.com/d/com.appsoup.listen.to.sermons.preaching) — 4,035 users, 4.78 / 5 - [sermon.net](https://chrome-stats.com/d/net.sermon.sermon.net) — 102,683 users, 4.01 / 5 - [AudioVerse](https://chrome-stats.com/d/org.audioverse.exodus) — 104,331 users, 4.31 / 5 - [LivingWord: Messages & more](https://chrome-stats.com/d/com.sermon.livingword) — 6 users - [Seara](https://chrome-stats.com/d/com.bittcraft.seara) — 150 users - [Go sermon](https://chrome-stats.com/d/com.mycompany.gosermon) — 19,124 users - [Audio Sermons and Services](https://chrome-stats.com/d/com.andromo.dev137436.app214733) — 2,652 users - [Spiritual Food](https://chrome-stats.com/d/zw.co.vokers.spiritual_food) — 329 users - [Christian Sermon Radio 2025](https://chrome-stats.com/d/com.amapps.christiansermonradio) — 171 users, 5.00 / 5 --- Source: [Chrome-Stats](https://chrome-stats.com/d/com.sermonaudio.MainApp)
