### 2/5 — Needs Work

*2026-02-09*

Previous search problem seems to be resolved but like another review said (a year ago), if one goes to another app and comes back to the Psalter app it lands on a different Psalm than where it was left and the app has to be closed, reopened, and find the Psalm again.  Much appreciate the ability to separate the 4 part harmonies to learn them.

### 4/5 — Great but tune tempos are off

*2025-07-09*

We love the app, but the tempos are often inconsistent.

Words of psalm 96A text only stanza 2 are wrong. 

Need to be able to manually set night mode or day mode.

### 1/5 — Rip off

*2024-12-24, version 3.2.0*

Music only plays for 20 or so seconds. If you don’t play piano this app is worthless. Use YouTube. Once again someone making money on sincere Christian devotion. When will it end.

### 2/5 — Needs Work

*2024-08-12*

It’s fine if one is in a setting where there is a precentor and choices for psalms have already been made.  The app *says* one may search for a tune but in reality, it does not work. One may not search by meter either. I’ve looked through the reviews that have been left and see none with any reply.  I am quite frustrated when I try to use this app in a setting outside a Sabbath worship service.

### 1/5 — Great but tune tempos are off

*2024-08-09*

We love the app, but the tempos are often inconsistent.

### 4/5 — Very useful app. Tune tempo is bad.

*2024-05-28*

The tempo of each psalm is inconsistent and variable even within one playing. Very annoying.

### 4/5 — Excellent Psalter! One suggestion. . .

*2023-08-16*

Please add a loop option so the tune repeats automatically.

### 5/5 — App

*2023-07-20*

I can confirm it is an app

### 5/5 — Psalms for singing

*2023-05-25*

Awesome app I love it! Thanks I use it for my quite times. Great for family worship .

### 1/5 — App still broken - changes psalms when switching apps

*2023-04-08*

This needs fixed - when I nav to a psalm, then switch to another app and switch back, the app has a bug that causes it to change psalms!

Please please please fix!
