That makes it so much easier for me as a pianist who’s not the beat at sight reading both melody and bass clef. God bless you! I wish that there’s an option for the sheet music to be the default view instead of just lyrics. ### 3/5 — Love the concept *2025-02-19* Lots of glitches. It plays the wrong song at times and some songs don’t have chords. Hope you put out an update to fix bugs ### 5/5 — Brayden Redfern *2024-12-04, version 1.0.3* I personally think this app is great, on the guitar charts I personally learned some of the chord finger positions differently to what is shown which I think is worth pointing out. Most hymns have bass/treble clefs which is useful for leading a choir. If someone knows how to read music eg: eighth, quarter, semi and whole notes. Also if you have no one who can play an instrument or it’s your first time hearing the song, there’s an instrumental/backing track available for most hymns. I can’t wait to see if there will be any updates, I’ll be learning some new songs on guitar and would recommend this app to anyone looking to learn how to play hymns on instrument or singing. This app was exactly what I was looking for! ### 2/5 — Glenda HARKER *2024-11-15, version 1.0.3* I purchased this hymn book for the purpose of playing from it in church meetings. However it is very disappointing to find that many os the hymns do not have scores!!! There are many with chords which help instrument players and this part is good. ### 5/5 — Awesome for musician alike *2024-08-27, version 1.0.3* Not only an easy experience with singing but playing the piano too. Well done!!! ### 3/5 — Nice app, but… *2024-02-25* Nice app. Some scores and nice and sharp and other scores are clearly page scans from the hymnal. It would’ve been nice if the description mentioned that some scores aren’t available due to copyright. There are some bugs and opportunities for improvement: - Some scores don’t properly adjust for the screen size (example Hymn 71, 103, 121, 123) —> I’m sure there are many other hymns like this in the app. These are lower quality page scans. - Hymns 71, 103, 121, 123 - Scores don’t show hymn title or composers. I’m sure there are many other hymns in the app like this. These are lower quality page scans. - Scores don’t include the hymn number - Bottom line of score of hymns 51, 122 is cut off i.e. lower region of staff is cutoff —> maybe if score was scaled and paginated to fit the screen it may avoid this issue. I’m sure there are other scores with this issue. - Needs the ability to scroll through Scores as is possible with lyrics-only view - Add setting to set views for “lyrics only” and “lyrics and score” ### 4/5 — Almost perfect *2023-12-11* Bought this app recently and am enjoying it. The only improvement I can suggest to make it better is the ability to adjust the font. On the phone version, the font can be rather small and difficult to read especially for people with not so good eyes. Otherwise great app ### 2/5 — Only plays first verse. *2022-05-22* I couldn’t get it to play more than one verse at a time. ### 1/5 — What is wrong? *2022-03-06* Am I just picking the wrong hymns? There is never an intro to the song, there is only one verse played, and there is no harmony in the playing. I paid $10 for something that is totally unusable for me. ### 5/5 — Chords *2021-09-04* Thank you so much for adding the chords above the score. It helps me improvise. ## Frequently asked questions about Advent Hymnal ### What is Advent Hymnal?
