Introducing A New Simplified Listening Player!

We’ve been hard at work redesigning arguably the most important screen in Dwell, the listening player. We began this project with a few goals in mind:

1) A Return to Simplicity - Over the last five years, we've added a lot of exciting new features, such as Read Along, Read, Repeat and Reflect, etc. These new features, while making your experience with Dwell more robust and useful, have also caused the player itself to become more clunky. So we really wanted to simplify the UI where we could, making it easier for you to focus on what matters most.

2) Digital Wellbeing - It's important that Dwell be a digital space that's life-giving to you. We want you to feel a sense of calm when you interact with the app, and nowhere is that more important than when you interact with the listening player.

3) One Player for All - The new listening player design not only improves upon our classic Scripture listening experience, it paves the way for new guided Biblical experiences, such as devotionals, meditations, and prayers, all coming to the app this fall.

- An all-new chime setting, making it easy to discern where one passage ends and another begins. Toggle this sound “on” in Controls to hear a gentle chime between chapters, playlist tracks, or items in your queue.
- New music! Immerse yourself in an old-world village with the soothing sounds of church bells and peaceful birdsong.
