User Reviews

Users praise Lion’s Roar for its high-quality Buddhist content and the convenience of digital access with bookmarks, but repeatedly report app reliability problems, subscription/login friction, weak support, and missing features relative to the desktop experience. While the content is valued and inspiring, stability and UX gaps hinder consistently positive experiences.

Pros

High-quality, insightful Buddhist and mindfulness content.
Digital access with portability and the ability to bookmark; complements the print version.
Inspiring, accessible reading that users rely on for personal growth.

Cons

Frequent reliability/outage problems and content loading failures that prevent access to articles.
Subscription/login friction and weak handling of access/refunds by support.
Missing key features and UX gaps (no dark mode, no highlighting/dictionary, limited navigation tabs compared to desktop).
App performance issues and the need for updates to fix longstanding bugs and improve stability.

Recent reviews

For a while, I was able to access all current articles and archives. Then app stopped accepting my credentials. Not much help from customer care so far. Disappointing. Can read on website, but not app. The app and customer care really give you many opportunities to practice patience.

This app looked very interesting and promising to me, but I was unable to subscribe. When I tapped the $11.99 subscription button, I got a spinning wheel for a second and then nothing else happened. I tried writing support, but the message would not send because the app claimed I didn’t have an active email address. I am unable to use the app at all because of these bugs I’m running into.
