SERMONAUDIO TIP
SermonAudio Android Devices Edition v2.9.5!

Attention all users!

We're very happy to announce our support for the Google Android family of phones so that now you can listen to sermons, watch videos, and access other resources on SermonAudio.com -- instantly! It's the SermonAudio Android Edition!

It's our wildly popular app for Android devices and here's how it works. Simply go to the Google Play Store on your device and search for "sermons" or "sermonaudio" and download it for free! Or you can simply click on this link!

Major Release Version 2.0! Our version 2.0 is a major release that now supports both phone and tablet form factors (landscape + portrait modes). Audio, video, and PDF sermons can now be downloaded to the app for offline enjoyment. The app has been redesigned with native controls and largely rewritten for more robust support of the newer Android devices. Other improvements include: Player auto-resume, click title to jump to sermon, speaker + album graphics.

Version 2.0 is only available for Android OS 4+ but older OS versions can still access our 1.9.8 version in the Store under the title of SermonAudio Legacy Edition.

New! Update Version 2.7! A new LOCAL section now appears that quickly presents your local weather along with newly-added sermon titles and churches that are local to your area. Discover new content and ministries around you!

New! Android Wear Support! SermonAudio already integrates beautifully well with the Android Wear! See what's currently playing with a glance at your watch or control the sermon's playback (pause/play, fast-forward, rewind) using the watch's interface.

New! Version Updates! Version 2.6 introduces support for Google Chromecast. Also, the audio player is now more robust, the audio player's notification + lockscreen has playback controls, links from the main website can open directly in the app, and player Bluetooth metadata support.

User Feedback: God is Good! All the time! With SermonAudio, I get to work and listen to what the Holy Spirit puts up on my heart to hear. Really, I just want to praise God for this application and thank the developers!

User Feedback: This app changed my life! This is literally one of the best apps period. And with constant updates it keeps getting better and better.

New! Version Updates! Version 2.5.6 introduces audio controls on the lock screen (for devices which support this Android feature), a map of your local churches at a glance at startup, an important fix for audio focus, and many small stability enhancements. Version 2.5.7 fixes a problem with audio playback during incoming calls. Version 2.5.8 has several stability fixes.

User Feedback: A *great* blessing! First, the app *works*. That is, this is not merely some great idea made a chore or worse with buggy software. Second, this *is* a great idea, and has been for years.

User Feedback: If it were possible to give this app SIX stars I would do it!
User Feedback: Solid Huge improvement this is a rock solid app.

New! Update Version 2.5! Support for sermon sharing via QR codes, export downloads to public storage and Android media player, improved searching with suggestions, grouping downloads by speaker, download notification, and several fixes.

New! Update Version 2.1! Auto-retry of playback after network interruption, improved download notification with true progress bar, and numerous fixes. Nook and Kindle tablet users also enjoy the 2.1 update which now includes support for maps!

Portrait and Landscape Modes

We've worked hard on the user interface making this a visually appealing app for both landscape and portrait orientations.

  • Landscape: Player reformats to include speaker thumbnail.
  • Landscape: On tablets, shows your currently-playing sermon.
  • Landscape: On tablets, shows what others are currently playing.
  • Tablets: Enjoy the map, videos, and sermon transcripts on larger screen.

New! QR Scanner and Generator! We've come up with a clever way to easily jump to any sermon using QR codes! With v2.5, you can now scan the QR code for any sermon on SermonAudio and the app will conveniently jump to that specific sermon! It's an amazingly simple concept implemented beautifully! Scan QR codes from the website on your screen or from another mobile device!

New! Improved Player with Auto-Resume! The sermon player shows the title, speaker, broadcaster, and album art. It intelligently reformats itself based on screen orientation and tapping on the sermon title takes you to the sermon page. It also remembers your last play position and auto-resumes! Option for continuous playback (or shuffle) when playing downloaded audio!

Background Playback Support! Sermons will continue to play even when exiting the app or performing other tasks. Simply click on the HOME or BACK button to switch to another task. To completely stop and unload the player, hit PAUSE first, then BACK.

Multi-Bitrate Video Streaming! You can now stream the newest videos over any connection, including 3G, EDGE, or WIFI. Videos uploaded at the higher bitrate on SermonAudio automatically have a lower-bitrate option available!

Live Video Webcast Support! You can now watch live video webcasts from supported SermonAudio broadcasters on your Android phone! Our infrastructure allows broadcasters to make available multiple bitrates for high or low speed connections!

New! Chromecast TV Integration! If you own a Chromecast, from your Android phone or tablet, click on the "Cast-To TV" button any sermon or live webcast and enjoy the convenience of watching the selected feature on the big screen!

New! Amazon Fire TV Integration! If you own a Fire TV, from your iPhone or iPad, click on the "Fling To TV" button any sermon or live webcast and enjoy the convenience of watching the selected feature on the big screen!

Play-To Roku TV Integration! If you own a Roku Device, from your Android phone, click on the "Play-To Roku" button any sermon or live webcast and it will wirelessly send the command to your Roku to start playing on the big screen!

Local Church Finder via the MAPS tab. The app will automatically use the built-in GPS to locate your position and show the churches nearest to you! Alternatively, you can search by ZIP code or partial city name.

Download MP3+MP4+PDF Sermons! You can now easily download multiple MP3 audios AND MP4 videos directly to your phone or tablet for offline enjoyment! It's perfect for "loading up" on sermons at a coffee shop via WIFI before getting back on the road.

SermonAudio Android Edition allows you to elegantly browse and search through our library of over 2,610,000+ FREE MP3 sermons from thousands of different speakers and listen to any of them immediately on your Android phone!

Hello. This is a great app and my mother uses it very often on her old samsung phone. It's a God send. But she's got a new one and I would really appreciate the help on how to transfer all her old downloads to the new device. And she downloaded a lot. They're not saved on the sd card. Is there another way to move them besides exporting it one by one?

Thanks.

I would also like to know how to tell the SermonAudio application to use my SD card for storage instead of internal memory.

I tried downloading a video and it rendered my Tablet inoperable until I uninstalled the SermonAudio application.

Android has the option to move applications to SD but the SermonAudio application does not appear to be compatible.

Why must Google Play Store be used?
Google accounts are the most perfect tracker. They personally identify users, track global position, business transactions, banking, credit card, medical information, Facebook, Twitter, etc. Basically having a Google account is required to use Google Play Store. Having a Google account means giving up all privacy. I don't have an account on my phone on purpose. I don't have a Google account on the internet either. The last one I had I canceled because they were reading my email sharing it with third party data and business, and sending me advertizing related to my medical issues. The last straw was receiving 40,000 redirected complaints in my email over problem android apps.

I've looked through all of the comments regarding the android apps, so I apologize if I've missed this, but is there yet any way to transfer the app or at least downloaded sermons to my sd card? When I long press on a downloaded sermon, and choose "external storage", I receive a message which says "Unable to copy to external storage. (Did you revoke Storage permission?)" I have no idea what that means.

Using the Sermon Audio app, you can go to your downloads by clicking on the downward pointing arrow in the top right of the screen. Now that you can see everything you've downloaded, you can long press on a sermon which will bring up a context menu. You should see two options to either move the sermon to public storage or move to your Android music player. Choose.to move it to the Android music player and you will find the file in the "music" folder of your device. From there, you can do what you want with it.

Re: Moving Downloaded sermons to SD Card
I would also benefit from learning this. I've tried everything I can (including Google searches on Android esoterica). I would also like to discover where in internal (?) memory the sermons/downloads from SermonAudio are stored so that I can play them back with a different audio player.

Thank you!

Help! I've been enjoying your app for a couple of years now - I listen to sermons daily on my HTC one M8. It has worked perfectly until last week. The app no longer will launch. I've uninstalled and reinstalled even trying the Legacy edition. Legacy will launch but freeze before actually playing the sermon. Newest edition looks like it will launch, then the screen will return to previous screen before opening the app. Legacy edition, I can actually choose the sermon and even get to the "play" screen. After pushing "play" it will freeze. Any ideas?!?

P.S. I was initially getting a message saying "unable to find device" and a suggestion to look for a button in upper left of page. There never was a button appearing there and the last few times of trying, I no longer get the message, just a page with picture of Chromecast device with listing of broadcasters name below the picture.
Chromecast can sometimes be a bit temperamental in its operation and problems like this can normally be traced to network issues. However, our suggestion would be to "reboot" the Chromecast device, and try restarting the phone as well. For further support, please email us at [email protected] and we can try to provide additional help via email. Thank you!

Thanks for this app, it has been a blessing.

I am having trouble on HTC One m7 GPE running android lollipop. After I am done using the player, the playback controls no longer show on the notification/lock screen (this is what I would expect). The problem is that at some random time later (usually within an hour) the playback controls shows back up in the notifications area and cannot be dismissed or hidden.

It seems to me it should behave more like the google music app which only shows in the notification while playing or paused, and if it is paused it can be dismissed.

Thanks, Jay
