Ratings and Reviews
Interesting topics, conversations and enlightenment
Subscribed to Luminary after listening to “Under the skin” with Russell Brand for a few episodes. I was hesitant to purchase but wanted to hear more from the interesting conversations that were being had, (given only part is free on the independent release of Russell’s podcast)
I have limited time to listen but am essentially happy to pay the subscription for Under the skin given the caliber of the guests, how informative they are and what a good job Brand does. However I have now started to explore other offerings on the luminary app and am delighted at the range and value on offer.

Amazing content, average app.
Inwill start of by saying that Luminary provide some amazing and diverse content, it is well worth the price. However, the app itself is average at best and poor at worst.
The app is clunky and slow, often taking a few attempts at loading a podcast episode and that is if you can manage to open the podcast specific page where you can view the selection of episodes. I often have to close the app and reopen it a couple of times to be able to see the episode selection of, say, Under The Skin (this applies to any podcast on the app in my experience). Another gripe is that when I pause a show outside of the app for even just ten seconds, it will then completely stop the episode I was playing which then means I need to go into the app, find the podcast, did the episode and then play it again. Particularly annoying if it is an older episode which requires a lot of scrolling. About finding older episodes, when I have scrolled to the bottom of the page looking for a particular episode and the app needs to load those which aren’t on show, it regularly never does load them and I wait for minutes at a time and then give up.
A great offering on content which is severely let down by a pretty average app.
Great App ! Some very interesting podcasts.
Great app with some very interesting, illuminating podcasts. Easy to use, value for the money. A great way to fill your free time, if you like listening to debates about various topics.
