Important Information About the Lion’s Roar App Discontinuation

Thank you for being a valued member of the Lion’s Roar community. We regret to inform you that the Lion’s Roar app will be discontinued as of Oct 1, 2024.

Below are the key details regarding what this means for your subscription and how you can continue to access our content.

Why is the Lion’s Roar app being discontinued?

As a small nonprofit publisher, we sometimes face tough decisions about the range of services and offerings we can sustainably maintain. We recognize that the mobile app has provided some readers with a familiar and convenient reading experience.

However, with limited use by readers, we are now focusing our efforts on our new website experience. The recently revamped lionsroar.com was designed from the ground up to be functional and beautiful on phones and tablets, as well as on desktop. The website offers our full breadth of content, whereas the mobile app primarily offered only magazine content.

You’ll need an internet connection to access the website.

Can I still access Lion’s Roar content?

Yes! While the app is being discontinued, we invite you to redeem full access to all the content you’ve enjoyed in the app—and much more—directly on our website, lionsroar.com.

Here, you’ll find all the magazine articles you access in the app, plus rich array of articles, teachings, and resources to support your interests and practice of mindfulness or Buddhist meditations.

I accessed the app from a subscription I purchased on lionsroar.com.

How do I add lionsroar.com to my mobile device home screen?
