BiblicalTraining 4+

Only complaint is that there is no way (that I know of) to play audio in the background so that the battery doesn’t drain

Hi, I love Biblical Training. I love the content, and the look of this new app seems much improved over the old one. That said, I have some major issues with it.
First, the app doesn’t interface with my iOS “Now Playing” functions. This means I have to have the app open to pause, rewind, etc. It also means that Apple CarPlay doesn’t recognize that the app is playing. I can’t use my headphones to pause the audio when my kids want to talk to me, I have to pull my phone out of my pocket, unlock, navigate to the app if needed, and then pause. Very inconvenient.
Second, the app doesn’t keep track of where I was listening. It doesn’t immediately update to show that I’ve finished a lecture. And each time I open the app, any progress I made into a lecture is gone and I need to start over. (I’m playing from downloads)
Lastly, I can’t use the play my downloaded lectures from “my progress” which would seem to be the best place to pick up where I’d left off.

I really hope you can fix these issues, because I love using it. But these inconveniences really interfere with my desire to use it daily.

This app is an incredible gift for those seeking to learn from the best. I’ve used it off and on for a couple years now. I would honestly use it much more often if it was more user friendly. The layout and operating system really need some help. The program is often glitchy, and navigating the available classes or even seeing what is available is rather confusing and unintuitive. On a smaller note (since I can’t complain about free resources) the overall quality/production value of these course can drastically differ from one another.

I would really love to see a massive update that changes the layout and menus to be more user-friendly and more easily explored
