Elevation App

My name is Ashley Brooke Ritter I have been watching Bro & Sis Furt & elevation for about 7 years now. The last two years mostly. I am so thankful that you brought the word to my living room where we’d have church together even before covid. Without elevation online & pastors I can handle it, the do it again track, without in this I must be confident & his real ness, I truly believe the enemy would of convinced me to end my own life. From giving my daughter up for adoption, toxic relationships, addiction, bars, casinos and random men I was a mess! I feel as if I know you guys & you helped save me. Last year my word was GraceWorks I now have an established business called “GraceWorks” still working on the details and whether or not the lord wants it to be a non profit, my story sounds unbelievable but he’s never left me one time, he has ran after me. It didn’t click until a couple months back that grace doesn’t just work I am saved by grace. I’d love to join a group maybe even do more. I have let fear get the best of me without going into too much detail. I was born into a spirit filled family, strayed away for over a decade and I’ve returned home where I belong! I’m sorry I could’ve done more but will commit most definitely 2021. I can’t he can, he can through me!

I really like Elevation church and that they have their sermons online and through this app, but the app itself needs some work. To be notified that you must enable location services to always every single time you use the app is very frustrating! That needs to stop. It would be great if you could listen to the sermon while your screen is off. Like iTunes music. It is a battery drainer to have to leave the screen on for 30 to 45 minutes at a time is battery drainer. As well let’s say you are watching a sermon, close the app and have to go back to work. The location of where you at in the sermon has not been saved in cache. Meaning you have to thumb slide to time you last remembered watching on the timer. These three fixes alone would make the app itself much better. But again I am grateful for this church and their thoughtfulness to put the message online as they do.

First let me say, I LOVE the content, the church, etc. This would have been a 5 star rating if it weren’t for the operational issues I’m experiencing with the app. #1 - when you search for a sermon series, you don’t get the complete list of all the sermons. I’m wanting to watch a series in chronological order but the results will only show a handful of the sermons, in no particular order (for example, using random dates for illustration- you can see June 10, 14, 17th sermons, but where are the ones from 11,12,13,15,16? I have to go to the 10th, look down below under ‘more from this series’ and there I *might* find the 11th). #2 - when you pause a sermon, it times out after a few minutes and the app completely resets. I like to listen while multitasking, so if I pause for too long, I loose completely where I was in a sermon, have to search for it again and try to find where I left off. Sort of frustrating and discourages me to even try to use the app. I really hope the developer reads this and can address these issues, because if those were fixed, for me personally and what I use it for, this would be a perfect app.
