more I’ve been using this app as a study guide for a couple of years now. I recently noticed the OT is now missing the books of Daniel through Malachi. Will those books be returned to the app?

In the audio archive the book of Matthew and Ephesians is left out, otherwise a solid tool. Thank you Calvary Chapel, y'all do awesome work!

Buttons gray out when there's nowhere to go: Forward while you're live, Back once you're 5 minutes behind.
Pause and pick up right where you left off. Leave the Radio tab while paused and it starts fresh at live when you come back.
