Please look into adding integration with this app. ### 1/5 — Misleading *2024-12-22, version 1.3.8* App has in-app purchases for many of the hymns but does not list it as having in-app purchases. ### 3/5 — Help with my purchase *2024-03-13, version 1.3.8* I previously purchased this in the app. My iPad had to be reset and now the app wants me to pay for it again. Do I actually need to purchase it again? ### 5/5 — Great App *2024-03-09, version 1.3.8* I love this app. It’s easy to use by selecting him number or title. And it really helps to be able to set up a set list of hymns. You know you will use in worship. I set up my set list as I sit down and look at my bulletin, and then I’m ready to shift from one him to the next. Being able to use the app on an iPad or reader is a big help for those with vision problems like presbyopia and for poorly lit sanctuaries. ### 2/5 — Limited *2024-01-30, version 1.3.8* I purchased this. It shows in my “purchased” apps, but when I tried to locate a hymn it said “ purchase” and gave the price. There are no user settings so I can’t find a way to tell the app that I did purchase it. ### 1/5 — Cannot restore purchase *2023-07-28, version 1.3.8* It seems like you have to pay all over again if you have a new iPad. There is no button to restore purchase. ### 1/5 — Please update this Hymnal app *2022-08-04, version 1.3.8* I echo others comments here as well. -Left to right swiping -Better set list usage -search function update -expanded hymn list, we have them the cd rom but not here ### 1/5 — VERY Dissatisfied *2021-12-26, version 1.3.8* I understood this was a free app. EVERY HYMN I tried to open was, instead, a $10 purchase. False advertising. ### 1/5 — No transfer of upgrsde *2021-10-29, version 1.3.8* Won’t download upgrade I paid 9.99 to upgrade this app on my other iPad. Unlike ThE Weather Channel auto updated to this iPad. This app wants me to pay another 9.99. ## Frequently asked questions about Baptist Hymnal Free ### What does the Baptist Hymnal Free app do?
