Reviews for Gaia: Streaming Consciousness

I love Gaia, however the app becomes very irritating when a program is paused and starts up again automatically in 10 seconds. It is time consuming and irritating to constantly find where I was in the program before pausing. I wonder if this problem can only be resolved by paying for a more costly membership because if it is, that's a darned shame. Not everyone can pay top dollar, but everyone should be able to pause a program without such difficulties. Buffering is also time consuming.

The absolute best. Totally replaced TV with this wholesome content. The app conveniently switches to audio when you close out the app, so you can continue listening without wasting battery life or being distracted if you're tackling something else while listening. It takes a couple weeks to learn what shows work and what shows don't. I use the thumbs up and down ratings as a guide. If it gets over 92% thumbs up, there's a good chance you'll love it.

It's great! I can stream to my tv and download episodes for when I'm offline. I can get it on my computer, as well. But, currently, I'm having a problem where a notification that the app is updating keeps reoccurring. I tried updating on wifi and data but it keeps coming up. And Google Play shows there is no update. •We can't find any episodes trying to download, either. •We cleared our caches, as well.

Smooth app, just that we need to have the app currently on screen to listen to the videos. Some of the videos could be listened to like a podcast. Other than that, it is very well organized and easy to search, and the videos are very, very intellectual and worth watching and learning from. I enjoy this very much for my self fullfilment and awareness. Thank you.

This app is just garbage. So just to start I had this app 2 years ago and even then it was plagued with the same problems that it has now. Downloading shows, should be a pretty straightforward process, it isn't. It won't play the downloaded show. I know this because if I turn off wifi or drive into a no service area it says I'm offline and won't let me view the video, but will play the audio in the background. Wish I could write more but the play store limits you. Would not recommend app.

I never watched much TV. Usually because the only available content was more of a joke than anything. That is .. Until now. I'm totally impressed with Gaia's variety of shows. I love the talk shows and some of the classes too. I love learning about the touchy subjects! I'm always taking notes on the books writen by guests on your shows to buy later or sometimes a book that they suggest. You should consider selling their books. I know I would buy some.

I love the content. App wise on my phone, only issue I have is when I pause it, and my phone goes dark, it pops the show back on but in the background... strange. And on my Roku, if I set a sleep timer on the TV, the Gaia app doesn't shut off, like the other apps do, and continues to stream shows and movies while the TV is off, annoyingly wasteful and also strange.

Love the content but my only complaint is the usage on battery!! In the settings, when I have this app open it uses 75% of my battery!! If I dont have my phone plugged in I cant watch a video for more than an hour and a half. Its ridiculous, even for a streaming app. YouTube only uses 18% of my battery for a comparison. I won't delete the app because the content is amazing but this needs to be fixed, ESPECIALLY since we have to pay a monthly subscription fee. There's no excuses for that.

The playback on my Samsung is rather annoying. Whenever I pause a video and then minimize the app, try to access another app, etc., the video immediately starts playing again. Basically, I can't pause the video and go into another app because every single time, the video starts playing again. I end up having to close the app entirely in order to keep that from happening, then re-open it when I want to start watching it again.

I love the idea of Gaia and all the contents! However, there are some errors with the app. I listen while at work so being able to hit pause and play on my headphones is important for the hands on work that i do. I'm sometimes able to pause it, but it will never resume play. Also, when get the video going and shut my phone screen off theres a few seconds of delay before the audio resumes.
