Sermons 3.0 App is Here?

0:02 Looking at our world from a theological perspective. This is the Theology Central podcast making Theology Central. Well, we have been waiting all day? Well, can I say we? I don't know if you have. I have been waiting all day, really since around midnight. I've been waiting and checking and looking and refreshing and waiting and looking. I have been waiting and looking for the sermons two point oh app to drop the update so that we would get these sermons three point oh app. Right, I've been waiting all day, waited all morning. I did a little. I did a broadcast this morning, at least giving you a description of everything that is supposed to happen as of right now.

0:46 We looked at the information, kept waiting and waiting and waiting, and then someone emailed me to do a review of a podcast, so we did that. But still there was no sermons three point oh app apps absolutely nothing, zero, no update. Nothing. I don't even think I could be wrong. In fact, let me look here. I don't even think. Let me see if I can get to it. I don't even think, my god, I may not be able to see. Hang on, let me look here, Let me look here, if I can get to it if I can get to it, if I go to Yeah, I think I can access it. Yes, oh oh wait it is Okay. Six minutes ago on the sermon audio x account, it says introducing Sermon's three point zero, the official app of sermon Audio. The latest version has been completely re engineered under the hood to deliver superior media playback stability while getting a bold strategic direction for future development. Get it now, So six minutes ago. So I'm I'm trying to be as close to this as possible. If I look full transparency, I don't necessarily want to be talking about it now. I know that's bad. As excited as I've been while I was trying to watch something on television, but then I saw that the update had dropped, and I'm like, well, I told everyone the minute it dropped, I would go live. So I'm keeping my promise, right,

2:17 I'm keeping because I mean all of the people who pay so much money for this brag. Okay, I'm a little bit of joke there, but no, I said I would do that, So here I am. So we're going to look at it now. I have not I have not done the update. I haven't done anything, so here's what happened. I went to the I went to the app store. Well, now it's hang on, oh, there it is, okay. I went to the app Store. I did a search for sermons two point oh, and I what it led it led me to. It doesn't say sermons two point oh anymore. It doesn't say sermons three point oh. It says sermons by Sermon Audio, Trusted Library of Sermons. That's that's what it says. So if you're looking for sermons two point oh or sermon's three point oh, you're not going to find it. You're going to find sermons Buy sermon Audio is what it's actually called now, Trusted Library of Sermons. Thirty five minutes ago, I guess is when the update drop if I click now, I'm looking in the Apple app Store, just for you know, so that everyone understands. I have no idea what's going on over in the Google play Store. I have no idea, but as of right now, and please look, there's still just sixty six ratings. Can someone, for crying out loud, go to the Apple App Store and give it a new review and new ratings something? All right? But okay, So thirty five minutes ago. Here's what it's saying here. Now, I haven't I haven't done the update yet. What's new?

3:39 Complete app rewriting for superior media stability, entirely new, floating player experience, auto play from one sermon to the next, free user accounts to follow and bookmark content, cross device play history, linked to user accounts, and proved offline mode with downloading, deep linking support, dark mode support, Chrome cast support, and more languages supported. That's the only thing that's listed as new as of right now. So when they first now, well when we knew this was coming and they first announced it. Now, I'm just gonna be honest with you.

4:20 In my mind, Sermon's three point oh a brand new app. We were going to get a ton of new features. That's where my mind was going, Right, it appears we're just gonna get maybe that a lot of the changes and the new is kind of behind the scenes. We're gonna get some things that's going to look differently esthetically, right, But I don't think we're going to see a lot of new features right now. I am hoping then we'll get further up. We'll start getting updates on a pretty regular and consistent basis. I'm hoping over the next few months. Maybe I'm hoping really soon and we can start seeing some new features, at least i'm hoping. But here we go. I'm gonna update the app right now. All right, so I'm in the Apple App Store. Here we go again.

5:06 If you do a search for sermons two point oh or sermons three point oh, you're not gonna see that. You're gonna see sermons by Sermonadio. There's no two point oh, there's no one point oh, there's no three point oh, there's no four point oh, there's no numbers. It just says sermons by Sermonadio, which could throw you off. All right, so here you go. I'm gonna click update. All right, I'm gonna click on update. Okay. It says open. Here we go, Here we go, Here we go, Here we go. All right. It says welcome to Sermons three point oh right at the top. Now, everything is kind of I guess you would call it dark mode. I guess kind of hang on, let me go here, I'm gonna go to more hang on, ooh more. You see here we have settings okay, theme okay, if it's it's doing system default, which is dark if I go to light Okay, now there's dark or system default, so it is dark mode.

6:04 So dark mode is there interface language, current device language where I can pick which one. All right, you got Portuguese, Spanish, Swahili, you've got French, Farsi, Hindi, a lot of different languages. So that's cool. All right, So we have that, and right now I'm under the more tab. I'm under the more tab. We have him and Salter, which actually takes you out of the app to the website. So it actually takes you out of the app to the website. I'm not a fan of that. I mean, I don't I don't like that. Okay, so just just just I'm just giving my first reactions here. This is real time.

6:44 I have no I'm looking at it in real time. I'm under the more tab. So Himnal and Salter takes you out of the app to the website. Well, I wanted to open in the app, right okay, Daily Devotional. It takes me to the website. It's taking me out of the app. Why would I want it to take me out of the app? If I have the app, I want everything to be self contained within the app, not take me to the website. Right. That just seems I mean, if it's going to do that, I would just go to the website. If things in the app are gonna take me to the website, then I'll just access the website. There's no point in having the app.

7:27 So so so far, those are two strikes I'm not liking. This is under the more tab hymnal Insalter takes you to the website, not to the app, not inside the app Daily Devotional instead of opening inside the app, it takes you to the website. Church Finder takes you to the website. It does not take you What is this? Okay, so we've got three things that's leaving the app, so you see it in the app, but it's leaving the app now and just for full transparent. And see when we had our own standalone app because we had this great deal. There was this company in Austin who helped build our app. It was and I had to do a lot of work, but they kind of helped facilitate it and we got our app going. Everything was great, and then they that company was bought by a bigger company that does apps for very big churches. Right, but it was going to cost us like, oh man, I don't even know remember how much money. It was crazy, right, And one of the things that bothered me was a lot of the features would be like it would take you out of the app, and then like so for like our sermons, they weren't going to play within the app.

8:39 They were going to take us outside of the app to like to our Theology central web page or something. I'm like, no, I'm not forget it, get rid of it. I'm not paying money for it. If the stuff doesn't work in the app and people have to leave the app to go to the website, they can just go to the website forget it. So I was very frustrated with that. So here we've got three things, and this is all the more. Tab Him and Salter does not open in the app. It opens on the website. Daily Devotional does not open in the app. It opens on the website. Church Finder does not open in the app, opens on the website. How about radio? Okay, radio opens in the app. I'm gonna go to sermon audio radio. Okay, gonna go to radio. Why see why hang gud does it play? We don't need God, we will be God. Okay, So there we go. So radio works good, Radio works good, all right. So we're all right. We finally got one thing.

9:36 I'm all on the more tab all right, so we have dark mode, all right, And I went to the moretab and went to settings first. I'm sorry, I kind of got ahead of myself. I went to the moretab and went to settings first. We are in dark mode. It looks a nice however, you go back to the top of the more tab. Hymnal Andsalter does not open within the app. Daily Devotional does not open within the app. Church Finder does not open within the app. The QR scanner, that's just if you're trying to scan against the QR code. Yeah, okay, then you got the settings, log in and sign up. Okay, you see here, I gotta try to log in, try to log in here from my account. I think it's this password. I can't remember what my password was, all right, it's been five hundred years. Oh that's definitely not it.

10:29 All right? Hang on? Was it was it this? Hang on? Let me see here. I'm hoping it's this, because if it's not, yes, there it is, okay, not now, okay, account settings, all right, I have all that ready to go. Okay. Now I'm gonna go back to more, go to settings. Of course, there's no notifications. Nevermind. I was going to turn on notifications. All right. So we have out on the more tab. We have three things that do not open within the app itself. It takes you to the website. All right, So go under library. Okay, it is pulling the broadcasters I follow, so that's good. It is pulling followed series all right. It's pulling from that. That looks all good. Downloads Okay, it has my downloads have twenty nine currently here. Okay, that looks good. All right. I'm gonna go to my feed tab. My feed tab looks like it's working very well. In god, there's the mission conference here. Open it up. That looks nice. Looks good, all right. And the dark mode is kind of a it's not like a complete like really dark black. It's kind of like a grayish color. All right. So the feed tab looks like it's working. Discover tab, Newest sermons all right, that looks good. Newest Sermons, category worries okay,

12:02 looks I mean those are the typical categories, all right, there's nothing. Uh popular topics, oh man, Popular topics is not anything updating if the first one is nine eleven, So I mean, so I don't know how nine to eleven could be the top popular topics. So they're not in any kind of order. I don't even know why, Like, okay, I don't even know what that's pulling from. So I'm still not a fan of that. Staff picks, great series, picks, good newest series. Everything is just the way it's been trending, trending hashtags, Jesus Gospel, Bible, okay, comments, speakers, broadcasters, featured sermon. Looks pretty similar to the other one. I may be missing something, but the discovery tab looks the simple, the same homepage, Live webcast. Okay, how come we're not in the top. Why are we? Why are we in the bottom?

12:52 What is that nonsense? Okay, all right, the live webcast we're not to be seen. Featured sermon, staff picks, uh, local broadcasters. That looks nice. Oh there's the radio. Top tabs, followed series, followed broadcasters, newest sermons, newest videos, features sponsors. So it looks pretty pretty similar. So right now we're not going to see any major thing. We're not going to see any major thing. I'm going to do something here. I'm gonna hit newest sermon. I'm going to hit a new sermon here. This is a new sermon. Let's go ahead and pray and we'll get started. Okay, Well that's weird.

13:33 Heavenly Father, I thank you for this Monday that you've brought us together. Okay, I thank you for the passage that we've studied, and I just pray that as we look at your laws. All right, So yeah, I'm able to navigate away and look at other things and it's it's still playing fine. So that's that's that's doing great. I'm going to look here. Yeah, so everything as far as Lisa an Apple device, everything looks fine. It's not cutting off if I if I navigate away from it, so everything looks good. Yeah. So that sermon was Exodus twenty two, sixteen through twenty three to nineteen Women's Exodus.

14:18 That's interesting from a by Laura Westerman. Right. Caught me off guard a little bit because typically we would not see that. But okay, I'm assuming it's from like a women's conference or something, but okay, whatever, Oh, there's it's a women's exodus. It's an eight it's eighteen Sermons. So I don't really know what's going on there, but that's interesting. Okay, So everything looks pretty. I mean, you're not gonna see anything too dramatic right now other than the dark mode. And if you've been waiting for dark mode. I think the real issue. I think the real thing is going to be for the Android users who say that I don't like the app, because if I'm playing a sermon and I go look at something else, it immediately turns off Android users. You're gonna have to confirm or deny what is happening because I can't. I am going to go see if I can access the Google Play Store, and I'm going to see if I can get to the Google play Store. Hang on, let me see here Google Google play hang on, see if I can access it Google play Store. Here we go. I'm going to the Google play Store. I'm going to do a search for sermons. If I go to sermons two point zero. Yeah, now it just says sermons by Sermonadi. Okay, there it is. There, it is, and I'm assuming Okay. Updated on February the twenty fourth, So this is it. So this is it.

15:45 The ratings are not good right there, hopefully other ratings will go up their reviews. They only have a three point zero stars. Hopefully that changes dramatically. So yeah, so I'm hoping that goes well and you can go check that out. Let me see here, are there any comments under? Yeah? Hang on, I'm not seeing anything. Hang on, I'm trying. I'm looking like fifteen different things here. I'm looking at fifteen different things here. Okay, so far, yes, all right, Yeah, I'm not seeing a lot of I was seeing if there was gonna see any comments or anything currently nothing new.

16:29 So so here's the situation at eight ten pm Central time, February the twenty fourth, twenty twenty five. Sermon the Sermons two point oh app is Now if I go back to the app store, I'm gonna I'm gonna search for it together and the Apple app Store. Now, if I do a search for sermons two point oh, what's gonna come up is going to be? So the Sermons two point oh app is not the Sermons three point oh app. All right, So no longer look for Sermons two point oh or Sermon's three point oh. If you want to directly search for it, it's now Sermons by Sermon Audio it's now sermons by It's not Sermon's two point oh.

17:10 It's not sermons three point oh. It's sermons by Sermon Audio. Even all they're even though everything that they're promoting says sermons three point zero. And if you open the app, it says welcome to sermons three point oh, which is a little bit kind of confusing in my It's kind of confusing messaging, right because it says welcome to sermons three point zero. If I do a search for a sermons three point oh, I'm not going to see sermons three point oh in the app store. What I'm going to see is sermons by Sermon Audio. So it's a little I'm not saying it's a major deal, but I'm just saying you want it, like make it, call it in the app store sermons three point oh. I mean, if if you open the app, or if in all of your promotion material you're saying sermons three point oh, that's what people are going to search for. I'm assuming if I do a search, if I do a search for sermons three point oh, will it come up. Let me see here what happens if I type in sermons three point zero Sermons three point oh. Let's see what happens sermons three point oh. Okay, it will you will find it. Okay, uh, you will find it. So sermons three point oh will still get you there. But when you get there, you're gonna you're not gonna see sermons three point oh. You're gonna see something that says sermons by sermon audio. So if you tell someone download the sermons three point oh app, they may depending on their technological knowledge, they may they may or you know, they are their sophistication, they may call you back going there isn't a sermons three point oh app. So don't tell people to search for a sermons three point oh app.

18:40 Tell people to search for sermons by sermonadio app, okay, because that's what it's called. I at first it caught me off guard because I was like, well, well, there's the what happened to sermons two points I don't see sermon's two point oh? I don't see sermons three point oh. I mean, but I immediately kind of realized, oh, it says update, So then I knew that was it. But it's called sermons by sermon audio. So again, little after eight pm Monday, February the twenty fourth, twenty twenty five, Sermon Audio has updated the Sermons two point oh app to now be the Sermons by Sermon Audio App. It's not the Sermons three point oh app, even though you see that's how it's marketed. Once you open the app, if you immediately go to the more tab, you can set it up for the light mode or dark mode or just your what is it called? Hang and let me see here. You're it's under theme system default, right, and you may like the dark dark mode better. It is there that works perfect. However, if you look on the more tab, you're gonna see hymnal and salter. If you tap on that, it's not gonna open in the app, It's going to take you to the website. If you click on Daily Devotional, which you would really want the Daily devotional to be able to access it through the app, right, And why wouldn't you have like on the Discover tab, why wouldn't you have a section called Daily Devotional? Right?

20:04 And if the Daily Devotional, yeah, I can I fall hang on, let me see something and go back to If I go to Daily Devotional, it opens on the it opens on the website. And guess what, I can't follow it. I can't. If I could follow it, then the daily devotional would show up in my feed tab for morning, evening and the Daily Checkbook. It's Spurgeon's morning devotional, which should show up in my feed tab when in the morning. Spurgeon's Evening should show up when in my feedtab in the evening and the Daily Checkbook. I say, I think they should have it set to show up in the feedtab around noon. Then you would have three devotionals each day, morning, noon, evening, and if you show up in your feed tab or you should at least be able to follow it as a series. But you can't follow it. You can't open it in the app.

20:57 I mean, I guess it's cool that the app will get me there, but why wouldn't it open up in the app? All right, So, all right, I know what. I'm not trying to sound negative, but I'm just saying that just seems odd to me. Then the Church finder again does not open in the app. It takes you to the website. Radio works, the QR scanner. Okay, that's great, Settings works, account works, and in the account you'll want to log in because here is the cool thing. If you listen to something or save something on the website, it will now show up on the app as listen to saved, whatever the case may be. All right, then there's the help tab. The feed tab looks normal. I thought there was going to be some improvement on the feed tab. I don't know exactly what that improvement is.

21:44 I'd have to try to dig in and see. I'm not seeing anything that it looks different. Maybe it's gonna update quicker. I don't know. Discover tab looks the exact same. I haven't done much with searching. I don't know if searching is going to be any different. If I type in theology, see what happens If I type in theology, Oh, I get sermons, I get broadcasters. We do show up there. Okay, that's good. And then we get series that's oh, I guess these are series. That's weird. I do a search for theology, and the series I get Reading the Bible Daily. Is it listed under theology or something that's interesting? The Christian podcast Spotlight. Oh, maybe because I have a message. Okay, maybe it's because hang on, let me look here. Hang on, Why is this one under under the theology Okay, I'm not.

22:41 I would have to do some searching, all right, that's just weird. Reading the Bible Daily shows up when I do a search for theology under the series tab. But I'm not seeing any messages in there labeled theology or titled theology. So where is that coming from? Maybe in their description somewhere? Yeah, I would have it would spend I would spend a couple of hours looking through all the show more. Hang on, Oh there it is, there, it is. It's in the description. Reading the Bible Daily with Dave is devoted to helping increase your daily exposure to God's Word with a short scripture reading and brief commentary on key ideas. Hmm, that sounds kind of like Bible recap. All right. I bet you he didn't know he can make a couple of million dollars off this idea.

23:28 All right, But, according to the news article from the Christian Post, the Bible recaps idea to do well, they didn't even do a scripture reading. They just did the little commentary. They're making millions. Okay, right, so, but it says, well, a brief commentary on key ideas, themes and theology in each chapter all right, I'm gonna wait, I can't Okay, I'm gonna follow Can I follow this? I'm gonna follow that. I'm gonna I'm gonna try one out later. Okay, So I'm gonna do that, all right, So the s which looks pretty good. I was a little confused there for a second. That looks good. So there you have it. I'm going to click on so on the on the very when you open up the app, at the very top, it says welcome to Sermons three point oh. If you tap on that, it takes you to the website. Oh my goodness, gracious, I wonder how many things in the app are going to take us to the website. Because here's here's the reality of it. If let's see, I'm not saying there's a lot of things, but let's say there's multiple things that keep taking you to the website.

24:33 You're just driving people. The app is driving people to the website. Shouldn't the website be driving people to the app? So there you have it. But if you'll tap on the if you open the app and you see welcome to service Street. But point oh, if you tap on that, it will then't take you to the article. Giving you all the major updates there, so I think the big one. So for me, if I go to the moretab, the daily devotional, if I look the hymnal insalter. Okay, you can lead people to the website, but the daily devotional. If you're gonna have the sermons by sermon audio app not no longer the sermon's two point oh, no longer the sermon's three point oh app. If you're going to have the app, wouldn't one of the great features be the daily devotional put together by sermon Audio, which is the text and the audio of Spurgeons Morning and Evening Devotional.

25:30 So you have morning, evening and his Daily Checkbook. So wouldn't it be great you could follow that and then in your feed you would get the morning, you would get the afternoon Daily Checkbook, and then you would get the evening. Wouldn't that be great? Three different ones, three different times, so your feed has content morning, evening, morning, afternoon, and evening of a day of a devotional nature. Wouldn't that be awesome? Or at the very least you can follow it, so it'd be under your followed series and then each and it would be updated. There's got to be a way to pull that off, right, don't you think? I think so? So, there we have it. That's the latest.

26:10 I just wanted everyone to know and we'll keep track and see. Please, I am not I don't want anyone to walk away. And he was very critical. I'm just pointing out what I see. I'm not being critical. I'm doing nothing but hoping for more updates, and I'm just trying to give real time feedback, real time feedback. If I'm looking at this app and they, let's say they handed me the app and say we want you to be a tester, that would be the first things I would write down. Why are these things not opening within the app? Why are they taking me to the website? If I have the app, I don't want to use the app to get to the website. I want to be able to use the app, and if I'm going to be taken to the website, then I'll just use the website. But I don't want to use the website.

26:52 I would rather just have an app on my device, right, right, wouldn't that be better just to have the app on your device? So, at least I think so? Right, at least I think so so that that would be my immediate feedback. Now I'm waiting for those other features, you know, better discovery tools, notifications, right, some of those are some of the things that I'm definitely wanting I be. I don't I have to look you see? Can I follow more broadcasters? Oh? Hang on, hang on, let me look here, Let me look here. I didn't even think about this because before I could no longer follow anything else. So hang on, let me go to newest sermons. When the dog next door is going crazy? Right, Okay, hang on, I'm gonna go to here. Follow ooh it, let me follow?

27:45 Hang on, hang on, hang on, hang on, hang on, let me see here. Let me go here. I'm gonna go to this church. Follow Oo, Ladies and gentlemen, something is going on here? Hang on, hang on, hang on, hang on? Oh go here. Oh I've been able to follow three? What is going on? What is going on? Hang on? What is happening? What is happening? Follow? What is happening? Ladies and gentlemen? Have they removed? Have they removed it? They sure didn't? Are they sure not? Did not promote it? Oh? I'm not getting None of these are telling me I can't follow. Oh ladies and gentlemen, we may you may be able to be able to follow as many as you want. Now, Oh, I am not seeing a limit, ladies and gentlemen, I am not seeing a limit. I am not okay, so far, there doesn't appear to be a limit. There does not appear to be a limit. Hang on going here? Oh wow, hang on, let's do a search for hang on. We may be onto something. I had to delete myself, but I used to like to see my stuff show up because I wanted to know that it was showing up in the feed, right, I wanted to monitor it. Right,

29:16 it's for monitoring purposes, right, Okay, I was able to follow multiple ones, so maybe the limit has been removed. They didn't put that in any of the UH promotional material, So maybe you can. You can see how many you can follow. So if hang on, let me go to my library followed broadcasters. Let me see how many I have here. I'm going to count. I'm going to count here. Hang on, I'm going to count. All right, I have one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, ten, eleven, twelve, thirteen, fourteen, fifteen, sixteen, seventeen, eighteen, nineteen, twenty twenty one, twenty two, twenty three, twenty four, twenty five, twenty six, twenty seven, twenty eight, twenty nine, thirty, thirty one, thirty two, thirty three, thirty four, thirty five, thirty six, thirty seven, thirty eight, thirty nine, forty, forty one, forty two, forty three, forty four, forty five, forty six, forty seven, forty eight, forty nine, fifty, fifty one, fifty two, fifty three, fifty four, fifty five, fifty six, fifty seven, fifty eight, fifty nine, sixty, sixty one, sixty two, sixty three, sixty four, sixty five, sixty six, sixty seven, sixty eight, sixty nine, seventy, seventy one, seventy two. But wait a minute, hang on, something's weird here because the ones I just followed. Okay, something is not showing up. Okay, wait now it's not loading.

30:39 Hang on, hang on, let me go here. Uh oh, something happened. Okay, now it's not loading. Something happened. I'm going to close the app completely, go back in. We may have a crash occurring. All right, library followed broadcasters. All right, here we go, All right, there we go. It's loading. Okay, Uh, all the ones I followed are not showing up. There's still more than thirty something here, but the ones I followed are not here. That hang on, let me do another search here, do it Theology Theology Central.

31:27 Go here. Oh see, I said follow, but then when I went out, it may not be working. Oh man, okay, hang on, do a refresh, do a refresh. Yeah, it's not working. It's not working. Now I'm going to go out, go back in. Hang on, I'm going to go back to Discover. I'm going to do search Theology Central. I'm going to go back to Theology Central. Yep. I'm hitting follow and then it's not following, So I don't know what's going on. It is listing far more than thirty four thirty seven when I on the tab, but all the ones I'm following they're not showing up. So so something's up with the follow tab. Something's up with the follow tab. Either there's a limit and it's just not telling you there's a limit, or something's going on. So we need to keep a track of that. So what are our issues in the more tab? Hymnal, Insulter, Daily Devotional, and Church funder None of them open actually within the app, the daily devotional, I think would be essential to have it not only opening in the app, I can follow it, and the content should drop more spurgeons morning, a devotional in the morning, checkbook at noon, and evening in the evening, and I should update every day on your feed, all right, I don't know. I mean that to me just is a given. Everybody should want that, all right. So those don't open if you go to the home tab at

32:59 the banners the top that says welcome to the sermon's three point oh. If you tap on that, that doesn't even open up within the app, that takes you to the website. And not only that, if you try to follow things, at least right now, if I try to follow, it's telling me it's following. But then when I go back out of that and come back in, it's not following it, and it's not showing up in my followed broadcasters. Not only that, it's not telling me if there's too many, too little, So I don't really know what's going on there. So we need to figure that out. Those are the current issues that I am finding. You can tell me what you find, all right. Now, that's our very brief in real time reaction to it. The dark mode does look nice. I think the most important thing at this very moment are not the things I just pointed out. Well, the following broadcasters is important. If that's not working. I mean, if you want go delete every broadcaster that you're currently following, delete them all, and then try to follow anybody. And if it won't let you follow anybody, then that's a major issue. That's a big issue. Okay, So hopefully they get that fixed immediately, all right, But I guess the most pressing thing is for Android users. Can you start playing something, leave the app, go do other things and it continues to play or does it close out? If it does, then they have not fixed that problem, and that would be a huge deal for the Android users. Okay, I can't test that because you know, some of us

34:31 have greater levels of sanctification than others, and we've moved past the worldly, ungodly, satanic, anti Christ inspired Android devices. Okay, A little bit of a joke, just a joke. Don't get offended, all right, So now is what some of you are saying. But on my Android device, I can actually follow people unlike your Apple device. Okay, yeah, you probably there's probably something that will actually work that's not working currently for me. That's the latest. We will be talking about the app more tomorrow as we get more information and we see how it develops. I'm hoping that we start getting updates, like I don't know, every other day.

35:13 This is fixed, this is working better, We've added this, we changed this, you know, every other week. I don't know, something on a pretty consistent basis. So and you can, I mean, it's up. You may and not have a problem with it going to the website. Just for me, if I have an app, I have an app because I want to use the app. I don't want to use the app and the website. I have the app make all the content available within the app. And you say, well we can't make some content available within the app, Well then I don't know. I mean, then do I really want the content even listed there because I'm going to have to go somewhere else to get it. I don't know. I don't know. I'm conflicted on that. But the daily devotional that should be within the app, I mean, come on, I mean that's one of the and you know what's crazy, the daily devotional I don't remember when I found it, but I was able to get the RSS feed for the daily devotional from Sermonaudio. And guess what I have that RSS feed plugged into different podcasting apps pocket Cast, Overcast, there's a number of them, and guess what I get the notification every evening. Here are the daily devotionals from Sermon Audio, and I get them and guess what they play within the app? So I can take the RSS feed, plug it into another podcast player and get the daily devotional sent to me and a podcasting app that's not the Sermon Audio app. Is that not crazy? I can't listen to the daily devotionals

36:44 on the Sermon Audio app, but I can listen to the daily devotionals from Sermonadio on any other podcasting app that allows me to subscribe via an RSS feed. That's that's ridiculous. Okay, that shouldn't be that way all right now, again, these are just I'm just making observations, right Still, download it the app again, it's not the Sermon's two point oh, Sermon's three point oh. It's now Sermons by Sermon Audio. Download it, enjoy it. We'll talk more about it now. The show I was watching I've already missed about half of it, all right, so I'm gonna go run back downstairs and try to catch up. All right, everyone, have a great day, a great day. What am I talking about? Great evening, great night, great morning, whatever. Just use the app and see what you like. And hey, if you do email them right or you do post anything, please do so in a respectful manner. Hey, I noticed this, and this. You may already I noticed this. You may already be aware of it. If not, I would like this or like that, and a just providing feedback. Don't don't whine and complain. I saw this when sirius XM updated their app. People act like they had been beaten with a baseball bat and treated horribly. And they were mad because they couldn't find deep tracks and they were all upset and they were mad and they were never going to listen again. And that's just it, and this is horrible. They can't find their favorite channel. When did they move their favorite channel? I'm like, I don't know.

38:08 You could just search deep tracks and there it is? Okay, but all right, So, and there was some things that at first wasn't great about the serious ExM app, but it was a whole lot better and a lot of ways than the old one. So same thing here. We have to be patient, but they need feedback, So there's a you don't want to not send feedback because they need it, but you don't want to send feedback where you're whining and complaining and being a jerk. So do so in a nice, constructive way, right. Hopefully if they hear this, they will take it in the spirit which it's meant. Hey, I want it to be great, and I'm doing everything I can to promote it. I've been telling people to download the app all of twenty twenty four, well going into twenty twenty three, all of twenty twenty four, and I can continue promoting and telling people to download the app into twenty twenty five. So I will continue to promote it, and hopefully it'll get better and better and better and it'll be a great tool, great resource for everyone. Everyone. Have a great night, God bless
