How wonderful and convenient to have your hymnal on your iPad. This is a full featured complete SDA eHymnal with professionally typeset (not scanned) 4-part harmony music scores and lyrics that are ultra sharp and clear. Contains all of the 695 hymns from the Seventh-day Adventist Hymnal® plus many more from the "old" hymnal and other choruses. Also has all of the responsive readings. You can also add your own music sheets from Dropbox, your photo album, or directly from the camera. All of the hymns have synthesize piano and organ accompaniment with intro for congregational singing. As a bonus, many of the hymns have recorded piano and organ accompaniment (played by me). Use the accompaniment for congregational singing, or to meditate on during your personal devotions. No internet connection is needed to use this hymnal after installation. The user interface has a clean look with no ads, and very easy to use. You can quickly and easily find the hymn that you want either by selecting from the alphabetical index of hymn titles and first lines, the numerical index of hymn numbers based on the Seventh-day Adventist Hymnal®, or your own bookmark list. There is a full featured bookmark list for you to add songs that you need for quick access. Use the search feature to quickly search for words in the title or first line, or just enter a hymn number to jump directly to that hymn. You can also swipe left or right to go to the next or previous song just like turning pages in the printed hymnal. But what is even better is that the swipe turning sequence can either be in numerical hymn number order, alphabetical hymn title order, or bookmark list order. Zoom in for larger notes and texts both in portrait or landscape orientations. God has given me two talents-music and computer. I have been a church pianist and organist for several decades, and professionally, I am a computer professor. So putting these two talents together, I have personally written this app and recorded all of the hymns to be a blessing to others. I hope that you will like it and be blessed by it. I would love to hear from you to tell me how I can improve this app. This app is neither endorsed by nor affiliated with the Seventh-day Adventist Church®. Because of the large number of songs, it will take about 15 minutes initially to download and install this app. No internet connection is required after the installation. Please email support@mygadgets2.com if you have any problems whatsoever in using this app. ## Key features - Import custom music sheets - Annotations and markup tools - Synthesized and recorded accompaniments - Full music scores and lyrics - Offline access - Bookmark organization - Search and navigation by number, title, or topic ## Recent user reviews (10 of 50) All indexed reviews: https://appshunter.io/ios/app/hymnal-sda-pd/id405872456/reviews.md ### 5/5 — I Love This App! *2022-11-06, version 6.2* This is an excellent app! I don’t have to bring my hymnal to church and I also use it to sing along with during family devotions. ### 5/5 — Love it *2020-05-03, version 6.2* Great. You can sing along with music if you want. So convenient. ### 2/5 — Doesn't full up screen of iPad 11pro *2020-01-16, version 6.2* Not fully compatible with the new iPad pro. Old design and the app hasn't been updated in two years. ### 5/5 — Great resource, don't have to carry hymnal around. *2020-01-04, version 6.2* This application is a lifesaver for me. I can just bring my tablet and I have everything I need. However it would be so much more valuable if it had an option to transpose the hymns when I need to play for someone with an instrument in a different key or someone who plays by ear. ### 3/5 — Crashing *2019-11-20, version 6.2* I love the app it is really convenient considering I am pianist however the app crashes every time I put three numbers into the search menu. At first I thought it was just my device so I resented my iPad but that wasn’t the case. ### 4/5 — Hymnal SDA IPad *2019-10-19, version 6.2* This app was great until the recent update on IOS 13. It crashes every time when a direct number of three digits is inputted. This is a serious problem because I use it to play in church. Please address this problem as soon as possible. Thank you creating a great app. ### 4/5 — Not working *2019-10-17, version 6.2* This app is now working again under iPad iOS 13.2 ### 1/5 — Broken on IOS 13.1.2 *2019-10-13, version 6.2* Had the old version, spent $7.99 on this one hoping would not have the problem and it is broken too. I wish I can get a credit ### 4/5 — Hymnal SDA-iPad *2019-10-05, version 6.2* This app is GREAT for use with iOS devices running iOS 12 or below. But it desperately needs updating to work properly with iOS 13. Under this latest operating system, this app crashes every time a direct hymn page number is input. You can still use either the alphabetical or numerical index to get to your desired hymn, but it takes much longer than the direct page number input. By the time you use the index to find the song title or number you are looking for, you’ve already missed out on singing the first verse with the congregation. Please, let’s get this fixed. Would also appreciate the addition of the historical dates and names listed at the top of each song in the actual SDA Hymnal as it adds some important context for many users, myself included. God bless you in your efforts to serve the Lord with your talents. ### 3/5 — One little fix... *2019-10-03, version 6.2* This app used to be a 4. It wasn’t a 5 star because there are some errors in lyrics and playback. But now it crashes (after iPad OS update) when you put in hymn numbers directly. You can work around it by using the number drop down menu. But this is not good when you are actually in the middle of playing. ## Frequently asked questions about Hymnal SDA ### What is Hymnal SDA-PD?
