I love this app! You can personalize it and find awesome resources to help you grow closer to your family and to God. I noticed the top review (at the time of this writing) said the broadcast will stop playing when the screen locks and you have to go back in and restart it. This isn’t true, it plays perfectly fine. I assume this person said that because they had an outdated version. But this version is wonderful and I highly recommend it.
This is one of the worst apps I have tried to use. It will play for awhile, but then the app shuts down and I have to start all over. It is impossible to fast forward to where the app quit. This has happened repeatedly with the same broadcast, so I just wait until it finally comes through on the Apple podcast app, which is usually many hours later (the only reason I was using the app in the first place). When I press the fast forward button, it doesn’t do anything except change to 2x speed and then I can’t get back to normal speed. From the previous review, it’s obvious that there have been problems (and pretty much the same problems) with this app for over a year. It’s time to get these bugs fixed.
Good morning, first and foremost great app! Can you please fix the white letters with the white background! This makes it very hard to see, regardless of the lighting conditions.
I love the app but I’m having trouble with it disconnecting after a few minutes and when I go back in I have to start the program all over again and I can’t just get the cursor to move to where I left off and if I press the forward button it does not stop. Very frustrating. But love the content.
I love listening to the messages, however the app constantly shuts down or freezes. I listened to something nearly two weeks ago and my app is still frozen despite going as far as restarting my phone to get it to work.
I love the ariticles in this app however when it is very delayed on my iPhone. When I click on article or when I try to scroll to read them it is delayed. Please update. Thanks!
...from the notification. It notifies my phone when a new article goes up, but when I swipe it, it just takes me to the home page of the app and I have to scroll through to where the article is :(. Love the app though other than this issue
Downloaded the app after seeing a Facebook family ad. Thought it might help to incorporate family values, reminders, articles to help increase my patience as a parent... Very discouraged when I clicked on the first "Resource" under "Listen to Family Talk Broadcast." As others have stated, as soon is iPhone monitor goes to sleep (mine is set for 1 to 2 minutes), audiobook stops abruptly and connection is lost. User needs to reopen iPhone, find the specific audiobook of interest again (there is no placeholder), then fast-forward to where audio stopped (usually around two minutes). Ready to remove the app after 3 failed attempts to listen to first broadcast.
Was running iOS 7.1 and when I opened the app it said there was no content in the categories. I upgraded to iOS 8.4 and the app works perfect. Awesome app!!!
I can't get past the "Tell Us About Yourself" page
I have completed the personalization questions several times and each time it says completed but when I click to access the App the screen goes black and when I relaunch the app it starts all over again with the personalization questions. Maybe not such a great app if you only have a 4
I love Family Talk but this app is so limited. It gives you choices of wife, mother, father, or husband to corral you to pertinent content. But where's all the other stuff that doesn't necessarily pertain to those categories? Like David Ring's testimony, or the "Speechless" broadcast. I like the old app better even with its imperfections.
I was able to fill everything out when I first downloaded it but there is no content in it and also crashes constantly. I love the reminders it's sends to pray throughout the day still. Looking forward to when it's fixed and made properly like others are saying!
I was very excited for this app when I saw advertised on Facebook. Downloaded, filled out questions and then clicked what I wanted to do. Shut down. Waited 30 mins tried again, had to fill info out again, shut down again. Unable to do anything. Please fix the bugs
Would love to know how it works for some and not others. I did everything correctly and still nothing. I keep getting "No data available" when I try to reach or watch something. I really want this app.
I have an iPhone 4 and it crashes every time I finish the start up questions and then I have to re-answer the start up question. I love Dr James Dobson and am so excited for the app.... Just wish it wouldn't crash.
I was excited about this! But I can't get any sound to play and the app crashes quite often. Hopefully they are working out the kinks still... This could be really useful!
I want to hear the app while my phone is "dark" and once it goes dark it would let me hear it. I go to do something else on the phone and I can't hear it. Please fix this issue.
Let me watch the video and enter info but won't let me access any of the other materials. Hope y'all can figure it out because I'd love to use this resource.
Can't get passed the first screen. I guess that family talk is not for singles without kids, because there is no option besides husband/father or wife/mother.... I'm none of the above.
