User Reviews

Ancient Faith delivers rich Orthodox podcast and radio content, but the app is plagued by serious reliability issues. Users frequently report crashes, repeated sign-ins, and progress not saving, making it hard to resume listening. Streaming and radio playback can cut out, especially across network changes or when the app runs in the background. Updates often remove or break core features like continue listening and favorites, and some content updates are irregular. Many reviewers praise the content and the cleaner UI, but the inconsistencies and bugs overshadow the app’s value.

Pros

Rich, high-quality Orthodox content across podcasts and readings.
Wide breadth of content and a variety of Orthodox material available in one app.
Radio content is top-notch and a key draw for listeners.
The user interface has become more modern and cleaner in recent updates.

Cons

Frequent crashes and instability; the app freezes and stops playback.
Login persistence issues; you have to log in repeatedly and progress is not saved.
Playback progress often isn’t saved or cannot be resumed from where you left off.
Streaming reliability issues: radio playback often cuts out or stops, and background streaming is broken; switching between cellular and Wi-Fi disrupts playback.
Updates have removed or broken core features (continue listening, favorites), led to broken links, or inconsistent episode release schedules.

Great idea. Poor execution. First of all, they added a login screen, which is nice because it allows you to save your favorite podcasts, just like the standard podcast apps. Except that it forgets your login and you have to login again. It has a daily bread section, which is awesome, except you have to play each one individually and can't just play your daily readings and saints of the day in one go. What's the point of this app? What gap in the field of podcast apps is it trying to fill? Why is everything orthodox people do so poorly executed and chaotic? We're in the west now.

The app didn’t work well for me . It doesn’t load very quickly and froze when I tried to play the radio.

I love the content on this app. It is a wonderful gift to all Christian’s. But there are many technical issues that need to be fixed so I can enjoy using this app. It crashes, logs me out almost every time. I have to search for what I was listening to almost every time because it doesn’t save my progress. The app is also difficult to navigate to find things to listen to. Like when I look up Fr. Evan Armatas I have to search his full name and it still sometimes doesn’t show me all of his podcasts without going through each folder. I truly hope that y’all will improve your app so that it may minister to many more people. In Christ
