Ask Pastor John

I'm updating my review. Since the last software​ update, almost every time I launch the app, it starts jumping parts and became intermittent. About the questions and answers: amazing! I always learn something new and get different perspectives of the meaning of the word of our Almighty God!

Great content, solid teachings. Having an issue on galaxy S7, where once you press the skip button the entire phone starts lagging. The phone then becomes unresponsive and performs an automatic soft reset.

Biblically sound and edifying teaching. However, updated on my Samsung Galaxy S7 and now get blank page upon opening app. Unable to access any content.

Was able to download app & it launches...but only a white screen appears with a red stripe across the top with the words Ask Pastor John, I have a Samsung Note 3, Android 5.0, then reinstalled without any improvement.

A well-designed app that presents the excellent Ask Pastor John content, with over 1000 episodes, with a very scriptural, well-thought, and God-glorify point of view.

This app is very helpful for me. Why don't you introduce LOOK AT THE BOOK app as well. In that app you can post all the videos related to Look at the Book by Piper.

Not showing any sermons/questions used before but now it's just white screen. Galaxy Note 5. Please fix thanks

I like the teachngs and is inspiring me.to do Gods work faithful.

Helpful in my Spiritual growth.

Funny app! An insight into a brainwashed way of thinking. Good for a laugh. :D

Good app with excellent content.

It's a great app and the content is very good. But it keeps closing when I want to listen in the background. So if I go to my home screen or lock the phone it closes. EDIT: After updating the Android version, problem is gone

Wonderful App with wonderful content. The only reason I didn't give it 5 stars is because it is pain to exit out of. Many times when I close the app it still remains open on the top of my phone and I have to restart my phone in order to get rid of it.

crashes fixed! love this easy way to listen to apj every day, but I wish the control panel in the notification tray had a close button

Can you guys please add a "read transcript" option? It's quite convenient for visual learners like me. Thanks and God bless!

Questions asked in these podcasts are generally relevant to our daily Christian lives and the responses to them are sound and Biblical. I have certainly grown Spiritually since replacing my morning radio with these podcasts. Be aware that some of these teachings may challenge you

Hi there,guys i am trying to download this app and it just doesnt want to install, i am using androif 4.2 kitkat please help,i need this app.

Most thoughtful, Biblical answers for the widest variety of questions I've ever encountered.

Well organized

Love the app. God bless.

Brilliant source

The app is one of my favourite, easy to navigate and very helpful.

Thanks for fixing the crashes on startup!

Could you add a feature on the app- to enable marking or putting a star on favorite podcast episodes?

I love the content of this app. I listen to it every morning while getting ready for work. For the longest time I couldn't close it in the drop-down or get it off my lock screen after I had listened to it. But I've now figured out the trick to actually close the app when I'm done! All you have to do is pause what is playing, hit the skip button to go to the next episode, then pause it again. I hit the home button on my phone, then I'm able to swipe it closed on my lock screen. Weird, but it works! :)

I've been using this app for a few years but recently it hasn't been working well. Whenever I play a podcast, it will get through about a minute before it stops playing. When I hit play again, it automatically starts playing the next episode on the list. If I want to listen to one, I have to restart the particular podcast and fast forward to where it stopped several times. My phone is a Galaxy S6 Edge with Marshmallow.

Good app, but the player notification doesn't seem to go away even after closing the application. I have to force quit it.

I listen to this daily. Even if I do t think title is relevant to me I still listen and am encouraged. These are deeply thought provoking and I find myself meditating on the glory of God throughout the day. So thankful for this resource!

John Piper is a gifted teacher and this podcast is a great resource for any millennial Christian struggling with questions about their faith. Will add that there is definitely a strong reformed perspective on all the teachings but primarily APJ is a great biblically based source for advice on very tough questions. Highly recommend to anyone willing to wrestle with the difficult questions surrounding living the Christian life.

I like the show but not the app because it does not give you an option to download favorite episodes for offline use. I'm now using a podcast app to listen to APJ - that way I can save my favorites for offline use.

The variety of questions is amazing and the answers are very well thought out and direct. Also, because they're usually only around 10 minues, their good for anytime you need quick encouragement with something or simply just a quick way to start the day off pondering Biblical things.

Pastor John offers thoughtful biblically based answers that demonstrate his love of God and people. Guest appearances are always good too, and I've been introduced to good and faithful Christian leaders as a result of this ministry. The app also provides an excellent way of searching past episodes.

Every day I can't wait for how Pastor John will point me to Jesus and stir my heart's desires for Him. Thank you thank you thank for my favorite app.

Love this app. Content is fantastic. John Piper really has amazing insights. Interface could improve, such as having to scroll all the way to the bottom of all the podcasts to see earlier ones. Maybe they could be organised I to categories? All in all great app.

I give 5 stars for the content. However, the developers need to add a close button or menu for the app on Android phones. There is currently no way to get rid of the app from the notification dropdown. It will also place the background on my phone when locked; mainly because I can't fully close the application. The only way to close is to restart my phone.

The content is good. I have no complaints about contents and I love it! However there is one annoying user interface that I cannot get over. When you play a podcast and go back, you lose your place/position. For example, I want to listen to older podcasts and scroll down. After listening and going back to main screen, it goes back to top forcing me to scroll all the way down again and again. This is annoying especially when I want to listen to older podcasts. Also when the podcast does not close from notification even after the podcast is finished. To remove it from notification area, I had to go to settings -> app -> ask pastor john -> force close... I just use the website to access the ask pastor john podcast. Hopefully these user interface problems are fixed.

After a few sessions, my device automatically reboots, usually happens after 1, 2 sessions. Galaxy s6+. Not sure if this is happening with others but this app is the only app that does it from my device. Otherwise, great resource to listen to pastor John's perspective on biblical wisdom.

Updated review for Galaxy note 5 on Mashmallow - great content and application is smooth. Biggest annoyance is not being able to remove the notification/exit the app after you've listened to the podcast. A simple fix is to incorporate close functionality that most other applications have - currently the only way to get around this is to either reboot my phone or force stop the app.

Love the content, app won't close though.

I love the questions but it doesn't let me close the app. In the picture it shows an android device and an X to close but the only options I have on my S5 is play/pause, next, and back. I have to force it to stop.
