Update on tune integrated in the psalter

It works! Praise God, but it seems for me I have to press the play button, pause it and then press play again for me to hear the sound.
Is this issue from end alone?

Best Psalter app around!!

This app is an amazing blessing to the Body of Christ. A great and edifying resource. No other psalter app approaches it. I believe that every church ought to use the 1650 psalter, or an equivalent in their lingua franca, and the split leaf form is the ideal combination of musical adaptability wi the faithfulness to the Word. And this app is very well executed; kudos to the developers. Simple yet effective. God bless you.

Useless since changed

I used to love this app, but not since they drastically changed the design. It’s now difficult to use. I hate it now. I would listen to the live recordings, and it was easy to sing along because the Psalm from the book was right there with the recording. That’s not the case anymore. I won’t be using it again.

Parts for tunes was a great addition

The new update for this app is great! I would say navigating the app was a little difficult at first but I have now got the hang of it. The fact that the parts of each tune can be listened to separately or together makes them very easy to learn which I really enjoy. It might be good if there was an option to transpose the songs higher or lower (as in the Sing Psalms App) but other than that it’s great. I have also found that tunes tend to play on repeat if listened to more than once. I’m not sure if this is supposed to happen but it is actually great because I can listen to the tune over and over without having to press a button each time I want to hear it! If it is a bug needing fixed, fix it but add an option to allow songs to repeat like this. Thanks!

Regarding latest update

I have used and enjoyed this app for several years but for me, this latest update is disastrous. I appreciate the ability to have the music and the words joined but now only the melody plunked out is available, no harmony. I also cannot find a way to link my favorite tunes to each psalm as it was in the older versions. I have recommended this app to many folks but hope they downloaded it before this version and do not “upgrade”. I would love to be able to return to the previous version even though it was not downloadable to a laptop.
