Can’t get off Abide with Me

No matter what menu button I choose, app remains on Abide with Me

Needs forScore and pct integration

For score supports copy protected music. Please look into adding integration with this app.

Misleading

App has in-app purchases for many of the hymns but does not list it as having in-app purchases.

Help with my purchase

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?

Great App

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.

Limited

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.

Cannot restore purchase

It seems like you have to pay all over again if you have a new iPad. There is no button to restore purchase.

Please update this Hymnal app

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

VERY Dissatisfied

I understood this was a free app. EVERY HYMN I tried to open was, instead, a $10 purchase.
False advertising.

No transfer of upgrsde

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.

Side it sideways

I just purchased the entire hymnal i just hope that you do an update where we can swipe it side by side not swiping going up its hard to swipe up to the nect pages please do it sideways

Updating dissatisfaction

Why can't this be updated? Is Lifeway just ripping us off?

You would think that a Christian organization like Lifeway would deal more honestly. This app is pretty much a rip-off of those of us who paid 9.99 for it. Not to be updated in this length of time is unacceptable.

Nothing new here, I guess. I'd like to add my agreement to other reviews on several items. 1. Make the app more like a book where you can page from hymn to hymn. A right swipe should take you from 622 to 623, etc. 2. Selecting either TOC should open at the hymn that you are viewing, not the beginning of the list. 3. The Setlist should page from one hymn to the next, you shouldn't have to go back to the index each time. The search function is pretty hopeless. Really difficult to use. Typing "What" brings up a whole list of titles including, Abide with Me. Function needs some polishing.I hope you will update soon. Our church no longer uses hymnals (sadly) but as a musician, I hate to sing off a screen with no notation.

Worship resource

This is a very powerful and helpful tool for personal and cooperate worship. I use it almost everyday. The search feature works very well. It allows us to search by title, key words, or hymn number. It is very fast. The only thing missing is the ability to make multiple lists. You will have to get the LifeWay worship hymnal for that. This is a great app to have during covid 19 at church where hymnal use is discouraged and at any worship situation where hymnals are not available but hymns sung.

PLEASE, PLEASE UPDATE

Please update to work with iOS 13.3. on iPad Pro 11 with face idea and NO home button. Paid for all the extra hymns after the free ones. It will not let you close screen. Other apps are updated regularly

Already purchased

I purchased this app awhile ago and purchased the full songs for 9.99 but when something happened to my old iPad
and it could not be fixed I downloaded this on my new one and could not recover my purchase. I have deleted and down loaded again and again without any success. Very disappointed because I enjoyed using it.

Would add option to make notes

Great app! I really need to be able to make handwritten notes with my apple pencil, but cannot. That would make a WORLD difference!

Songs won’t load on either of my iPads

I made the $10 purchase on my iPad Pro running iPadOS 13, and it won’t load anything when I open the app. I decided to try to salvage the purchase by trying the app on my iPad mini, but there’s no way for the app to recognize my purchase on another device. I made the $10 purchase on the LifeWay Worship Hymnal app, and thankfully it works. I sure wish I could get my $10 back.

Great hymnal

This hymnal has great hymns in it - classics, as well some of the best moderns. Good, sound, Biblical doctrine. It is fairly easy to use, and on an iPad the music is large enough to read.

Love the quality, but not feasible for pianists

I love the clarity and quality of the hymns so far on my iPad Pro. However, unless the hymn is only a 1-page hymn, it cannot be used for pianists. Updates need to include an ability to turn pages with a touch or a pedal instead of scrolling up and down. I cannot stop playing in the middle of a song to scroll the screen up and down.

Not impressed...

Not happy at all with this app. You need to be able to swipe left/right or simply tap the screen to turn pages. The up/down page turning is awkward and often results in page resizing. Also, you can’t even view an entire page on the iPad Pro. I prefer the actual hymnal to using this app.
