Frustrated with customer service
I signed up for this service a few years ago (not through Apple). I stopped listening to it about a year ago because I didn’t find enough value as compared to other services. My credit card is continually being charged. I have tried contacting customer service and have zero response.
Next to impossible to cancel your subscription
Tried to cancel my subscription when they dropped history on fire. I literally am not able to - tried the app, it said to go to the website. tried the website, logged in and it said I wasn’t subscribed. Then they charged me a few weeks later for a yearly subscription. No contact email address that I could find. I decided to let it go and mess with it before the next yearly subscription charge. Here I am a year later trying to do the same thing, still can’t find a way to cancel my subscription. It’s pretty rotten when companies use tactics like this….making it next to impossible to cancel your subscription. Zero stars.
Russell Brand
I originally joined to listen to Russell Brand’s show and I have found a cornucopia of shows to entertain and challenge my world views. I hope that if you decide to try Luminary that you take up the challenge and subscribe to ONE podcast that runs counter to what you believe. You might be pleasantly surprised by your choice.
Bonkers content but buggy app
I love the content these folks have but the app is plagued by issues. It's overall difficult to navigate, it's not particularly customizable (if you're used to selecting playback options from apps like e.g. Overcast), it NEVER resumes from being paused successfully (pro tip: rewind 10 seconds and most of the time that's enough to encourage it to resume playing), the car controls skip the entire episode instead of forward or backward by seek times (defeating the purpose of hands free), it constantly tries to play literally anything other than the series I'm listening to, and so on. It's enough that I may not renew my subscription. I REALLY hope they invest some time and energy in this thing
Poor load time, removed content
Even if I wanted to give these idiots money for a couple 30 min episodes (that might not load properly or be available in a year or two), it’s not worth the headache to get this set up. Guess they will probably sell my info tho since I had to sign up for an account to find out it’s garbage
How do I cancel?
App says to go to website, website redirects to Apple Podcast. Finally through dumb luck got to website and it’s a ghost town. I’m signed in, go to Account, Manage Subscription and there’s precisely zero information. Big goose egg. Like no acknowledgement that I even have an account, other than the fact that I have a username. Am I missing something? Is the site still in service? Help! Just floating around the ether taking money.
What customer support?
Came for Black Star left because Talib is very disrespectful. Zero customer support when trying to get a refund for the rest of my subscription

Minor bugs and artwork updates. But far more importantly... The Midnight Miracle is back! Season 2 of the award-winning show with Dave Chappelle, Talib Kweli, and yasiin bey is now available. And it's still like nothing you've heard before. Only on Luminary.
