I adore all of On Being's programs, so 5 stars there. However, but the app keeps crashing, about ten minutes into any program. I can avoid this by downloading, but I don't always want to do that. Any help out there?
If I didn't have this app to guide me in the last two months, I would be vastly off course. As a civil engineer, an artist and a parent, it has buoyed my hope and reminded me that love is infinite.
In a world of noise, noise, noise, on being is an oasis of quiet reflection.
Great app and podcasts. A feature to favorite an episode from my downloads would be great.
The world needs more voices like this.
Could you add transcripts to read at each episode?
Illuminating and provocative
Love it
Stepping away from the unequivocal quality and depth of Krista's interviews, the app itself comes up just a bit short. I am unable to choose where to save selected episodes to, downloads themselves are sometimes buggy needing me to click more than once to set it up. Consequently, the whole download process seems to be clunky. I end up listening to new podcasts when traveling and intentionally offline, and so the download experience becomes quite a critical component of my app usage! The downloaded podcasts can be paused, by the way. And the app hasn't yet crashed on me on Android.
Krista's interviews are heart-warming, intelligent and thoroughly engaging . They bring insights into spiritual practice from many angles. Would be great if the app had a rewind function for missed parts when listening on noisy train.
I look forward to each new podcast to broaden my sense of the reality of life and strengthen my belief that humanity is evolving. Krista is my woman "crush".
I always enjoy the interviews I hear on NPR and I appreciate this opportunity to hear more of them.
Brilliant, beautiful thoughts and life experiences that help to live better.
App crashes all the time.
Try it and share with friends.
This is a great app for a great program.
What a gift to learn so much.
In depth conversations
The app hasn't worked great since I uploaded it. I love Krista and the episodes. The app has a spinning circle on the download page all the time and just today I had to uninstall it. When I tried to install it again it won't open, sad...
Love Krista. The interviewees, the questions, the topics and the style of discussion combine to make listening a joy and good experience. Krista is perceptive and brings out the humanity and insights of those she interviews.
No one can deny that krista tippet's podcast is top notch. Incredible conversations, beautiful music, seamless production. The app is also pretty to look at, but 1)it doesn't remember where you left off listening 2) your favorites and downloads don't sync to anything, so if you, say, get a new phone all of that is lost 3) I've had some difficulty with the screen getting frozen in my downloads window.
The play option on this application is working well, and I greatly appreciate the ability to find the episode on the main website. I have noticed that the share option does not work, which is a bit annoying.
It's about our day to day life experience. Wonderful voice of her and interesting thought of life. I love this broadcast. Thanks
There are too many episodes so there must be an option to list the episodes by category. Search is only usefull if you are looking for something in particular.
Very well produced podcasts but the app could use some work.
Krista herself is 5 star! Overall, the app is easy to use. It can be glitchy at times, however. Overall, well worth downloading! I just encourage the developers to continue attending to any errors in this app. Krista, however, should stay exactly as she is :-)
